Description

The Bone Emperor is a monstrous skeletal dragon compiled from the bones of several different species of good dragon. It has the body of a very old silver dragon, the heads of two mature adult bronze dragons and one adult copper dragon, the tails of two ancient gold dragons, and the wings of two old brass dragons.

Background

The Bone Emperor is an aspect Chemosh cobbled together in the Dragon's Graveyard to smite a group of heroes that sought to reconnect the Dragon's Graveyard to the Dome of Creation. The overwhelming force of the aspect proved to be too much for the heroes and Chemosh instead anchored the Dragon's Graveyard to his domain (Death's Manse) in the Abyss. By virtue of the power of this aspect and claiming the Dragon's Graveyard, Chemosh was able to exert his dominance over the pantheon of Darkness. His constellation changed to that of a Dragon Skull.
