The tian'lung is the dragon of the sun and the heavens. A dragon of incredible fiery destruction but also capable of creating warming radiance, he is a master of fire and skilled with the elemental powers of the air. The tian'lung are seen as some of the very highest dragons in the entire multiverse and act as divine emissaries of the gods at times or even become a local god at others. They love to sleep for eons upon high mountain monasteries underneath a large pyre, hearing the monks chant in their ancient sutras. A tian'lung loves nothing more than art, jewelry is just alright to it but it would make its home inside an ancient library or museums just to see all the fabulous relics, murals and paintings within. Some of these celestial dragons become tyrants over their community and although their justice is fair it can be uncaring and harsh as well. Tian'lung do enjoy food that is well cooked especially with various herbs and spices, they appreciate a skilled cook and the way they infuse flavor more than the cuisine's ingredients itself. A tian'lung especially enjoys roasted pheasant, goose, deer and spiced wines, mixed with potent herbs and burning hot chilis or even smokey sweet plums.
