I was cursed a half-century ago, when I infiltrated and toppled a temple of Melora that was being built by a high druid for her roving peons. Thordak is keen of eye, however, and older than I. We battled then, an exhausting struggle over days.
That is where I met the Cinder King nearly two decades ago. My home is south of here within the jungles of the Rifenmist Peninsula along the southern side of the Stormcrest. In her own words: "You act as though the laws of the anthill affect the foot that crushes it." She displayed no regret for her part in the genocide against the Fire Ashari, seeing them as little more than an annoying but minor obstacle in her mission to find a cure for her affliction. Raishan shares the general contempt of her chromatic brethren for "lesser" races. The result would be the Conclave members put in a position of power with no serious opposition. The five together would also be powerful enough to wipe out the most immediate threat to the Conclave: Draconia. It was Raishan that brokered the idea that if all five chromatic dragons worked together, they could wipe out most of the controlling Kingdom of Tal'Dorei on the continent. She was innately clever and charismatic, and managed to evade Vox Machina twice. She managed to deceive Vox Machina for some time as Seeker Assum, and concealed her underlying motives even after her identity was revealed. Despite her illness making her physically weaker and smaller, her mind was perhaps the sharpest of the Chroma Conclave.
Until the rise of Vecna, Raishan was considered the greatest nemesis that Vox Machina had fought. She was quite versed in Druidic magic and harnessed the poison from within her to do damage. However, this did not hinder her fighting ability. Because of this ailment, her body was covered with festering pustule sores and gashes. She was, however, much smaller than the other ancient members of the Chroma Conclave, due to the strange disease countered upon her by a druid half a century ago. She had piercing green eyes, gnarled green scales and hide, and arrays of brilliantly white teeth. Her natural form was that of a green dragon. She had taken on the form of Seeker Assum, a dwarf named Larkin, and (for several years) a young human Fire Ashari girl.įan art of Raishan in human form, by Nguyen Minh Hieu.
Raishan, as an ancient green dragon, was able to take on the form of others. 2.13 "What Lies Beneath the Surface" (1x81).
