Fiction:Relanvadur

"The great raptor of Lightning was a double-edged sword. As much as he sought to, in his words, energize the world with his power, he also caused great calamities. Terrible thunderstorms and electric discharges once engulfed parts of the world when his ire was provoked enough, but in the end, I believe his heart was in the right place for he fought the enemies of the world to his last breath."

Relanvadur was the Old Colossus of Thunder. A bird of prey of immense size, he once wandered through the skies of Koldenwelt, bringing with him great thunderstorms and electric discharges which could raze landscapes of life in seconds, but at the same time, he was also a being capable of compassion who sought to protect from entities who threatened its well-being.

Relanvadur was said to have roosted far into the skies, in a gigantic nest made entirely of clouds, and he only descended to the earth every hundred years. He differed from other Colossi in his time due to remaining separated from them and their conflicts unless directly affected them, and the giant bird's life went on until about a hundred and sixty thousand years ago when he was slain by. While Relanvadur left no descendants in the current era, his bones later served as the material for the weapon and armor of the current Colossus of Thunder.

History
Due to being a mostly independent being, there are few records of Relanvadur's existence in ancient texts though some of them report the massive calamities he was capable of causing. Relanvadur is believed to have been born not too long after and, and some more obscure texts claim the Thunder Colossus had a hand in helping them both shape the world. The great raptor would spend most of his existence alternating between a deep slumber and travelling to the earth, where he launched terrible thunderstorms at the surface for reasons none of the other Colossi managed to understand.

Relanvadur's acts caused the destruction of many cities and sometimes entire races, with underwater civilizations such as the s being considerably affected by it. Some scholars argue Relanvadur's objective was to turn the world into a living being by discharging enough electricity at it, but this is often considered madness. At about 160,000 before the New Age, Relanvadur was caught in a schism with the vile Blood Colossus Behesanguis and was slain by him, though legends claim Behesanguis was electrocuted to near death when he tried to take Relanvadur's skin an d therefore left the corpse of the Colossus alone.

The location of Relanvadur's death is often a subject of discussion, with scholars speculating his remains ended up at the region of Qliphoth and eventually reincarnating into due to their similar physiology. However, the most accepted theory is that Relanvadur died near the lands of the and his skeleton was used to craft the warhammer, shield and armor currently wore by the current Thunder Colossus, Thunardormir. The Colossus himself greatly approves of this theory and claims it as a fact.

Appearance
Relanvadur is described in ancient text as a titanic bird of prey, sometimes described as an eagle, condor or a combination of various races of raptors, with shining yellow feathers and eerie white eyes with no sclera. Legends claim electric spars flowed through the Colossus' body and blasted out of his feathers at random intervals, often hitting the clouds and causing them to darken around him.

Personality
Relanvadur was a being whose intentions were never truly understood due to his isolation and his mannerisms. He claimed to be in a quest to 'energize' Koldenwelt and apparently proceeded with this goal by discharging lightning at its surface, often causing great destruction in the process. Relanvadur's chaotic behavior made him unpopular with the other Colossi at the time, but he nonetheless joined forces with them when the world found itself at danger, for he would not be able to grant energy to Koldenwelt if it was destroyed.

Abilities
As the Old Colossus of Thunder, Relanvadur's thunder magic potential was thought to be unmatchable and even the current Colossus Thunardormir is incapable of using as much power as him. Relanvadur's mere presence caused negative effects on the weather and eventually led to thunderstorms, and legends claim he could tear the landscape apart by landing upon it and discharging electricity on the surface. Relanvadur's actions were particularly harmful to underwater animals and civilizations, as his electricity was heavily enhanced by the presence of water.
