The Celestials: Tahmu
The Dragon, a reminder of atrocity, pain, and anguish.
Tahmu was an empress well known for her generosity and kind spirit. The people of her lands were all her children, and she made sure none went without food and shelter. When the Naga attacked, her private guards urged her to flee the city that she might save her own life. But Tahmu would not abandon her children. She called to her people to take up arms and defend themselves against the Naga, and she herself went into the streets to do battle. Unfortunately, the Naga overpowered Tahmu and her people, keeping her alive to witness the torture and murder of every single person in the city. Enraged beyond reason, she managed to break from her bonds and call down fire from the heavens, which streaked through the streets in the form of a dragon, incinerating the Naga attackers.
From death, rebirth. Of all of the Celestials, none are more feared or idolized than Tahmu. Much like Kuongshang, is a paradox. Though her story is short, violent, and brutal, Tahmu's dedication and drive to protect her people are both revered across Ionia.
Those born under Tahmu's vengeful wings are said to be ill-tempered, strong, and dangerous to those who cross them or their loved ones. Their wrath is unmatched across all of Valoran. Yet, much as Tahmu was all those centuries ago, those born under the Dragon are king, generous, and always willing to lend a hand.
The Dragon's mortal enemy is Pianju, the Snake.
