Fiction:The Firmament/Boiha'taht

"I saw it! A snake made out of flame coming out of the water! And then it opened up a pair of wings which caused an inferno all around us! ... And yet not a single tree caught on fire!"

- Unknown

Boiha'taht is the eternal guardian of the continent of Dryadala. He is most famed for being the progenitor of the magical creatures known as coalts.

Appearance
Boiha'taht is an enormous coatl - a serpent with a large pair of feathered wings - whose scales constantly shift through all colours of the rainbow. His body is periodically engulfed in flame, and his eyes burn like blazes. Upon his forehead is a glowing glyph, one he shares with all other eternal guardians which signals his role in the world.

History
Like all eternal guardians, Boiha'taht is believed to have been born following the Great Gap, birthed by Eondrassla to ensure the protection of nature and integrity of the world's landmasses, which had been fractured during the events of the Gap.

Realm
The Rainbow Serpent is known to live in the land of Amazq, though the exact location of his nest is unclear. It is believed he lives very deep in the lands of the amaz.

Personality
Little is known of Boiha'taht's personality, though the few who have encountered him describe him as a particularly intimidating figure to behold. He travels by either flight or by swimming unseen through the many rivers of Amazq, and is known to actively attack hunters and, most notably, any who seek to harm the land with flame; he is a god of fire himself, and seems to take great delight in thwarting any invading minotaurs from the eastern border by using their fire against them.

Cult of Boiha'taht
Like most eternal guardians, Boiha'taht is not well known to the masses of Telamon, and is only noted to exist by well-learned scholars. The amaz are the only culture who worships the Rainbow Serpent, with him apparently serving as the main deity of their faith.
