Emperor Tosh Raka
Race Ka Po' Tun/Dragon Gender Male
Resided in Ka Po' Tun

Tosh Raka is the emperor of Ka Po' Tun (or the "Tiger-Dragon Empire"). Through unknown methods, he purportedly transformed himself into a Dragon.[1] Certain sources claim this transformative process also turned him into a god,[UOL 1] with one source going as far as to state he could be an Akaviri avatar of Akatosh and possibly holds a grudge against his "mirror brother".[UOL 2] He is allegedly the largest Dragon in the world,[1] and has been depicted as a hundred foot tall tiger with bat-like wings.[UOL 3] Since at least the Second Era, it has been known Tosh Raka plans to conquer Akavir. If he is successful, he plans to set his sights on Tamriel.[1] Much of what is recorded in the book Mysterious Akavir supposedly came from the scrolls and works of Tosh Raka.[UOL 4]

Notes[edit]

  • His name is similar to Akatosh, the Dragon God of Time. It is suggested to be a wordplay on the terms "Aka" and "Tosh", both meaning Dragon,[1][UOL 2] but depending on usage or placement, "Tosh" can alternatively mean "Tiger" or "Time",[2] a link to how dragons are synonymous with time.[UOL 2]
  • Toshrakhat was the dragon tongue name given to Ja'darri by Nahfahlaar.[3] It is unknown if the similarity to Tosh Raka is intended to be related.
