A face only a... unknown entity of pure evil horror could love...? Well, it doesn't really matter, because Ragnorra loves us, unconditionally, with a boundless love that will last eternities. Quite literally. Ragnorra prepares for her arrival every 1500 years, sowing the seeds of pure evil that will turn a planet into a realm of hideous monsters in her own image, impacting the planet with a huge force that can not only be seen globally, but affects it as well with destructive earthquakes that ensure everyone knows of Ragnorra's presence. The transformation process is painful and disgusting and starts even while Ragnorra is just in the atmosphere hurtling towards ground, as anything living or even non-living collapses into tumors that burst with horrific creatures born from your worst nightmares. There's a whole load more I won't get into to avoid having this read like a wiki article, but at times, Ragnorra seems more like an exercise or game where the next player has to keep adding a new feature to make Ragnorra more horrific than the previous addition. I like it though; Ragnorra's descriptive text does not leave a lot of room for hope unless of course you enjoy being a hideous aberration, or you have serious mommy issues. The one brief ray of hope is that Ragnorra can be killed, weakened by her ultimate ascension, and once dead everything turns back to normal more or less. Though I'm not fully sure of how D&D works and how you would go about making her appear in-game, I'm sure if it were to happen it would be quite a shock and I could see it being a fun twist to a campaign.

I've decided to put my fears behind me. I'm not going back.
