ZEITGEIST Dragons in Zeitgeist

gideonpepys · Jan 21, 2012

Are there any dragons left in the world of Zeitgeist?

I'm planning to run a buffer adventure that features a dragon, and seem to remember reading somewhere that they were all slain.

This dragon isn't such an important feature of the adventure that it can't be replaced, and it certainly doesn't want to be something terribly rare.

What's the deal with dragons in the campaign world?

Dragons are extinct. (Just like they are in Game of Thrones.)

Spoilers ahoy.

[sblock]Okay, there's at least one active dragon in the campaign, and the party has already met him. And there are probably others hiding out, having abandoned "ruling my own domain" mode and gone into classic "hoard treasure in a cave" mode to avoid getting slain by zealous humanoids.

In adventure 6, however, the PCs go to Ber chasing a gnome tinker who has made an alliance with a crippled dragon in need of a prosthesis.

Also, in adventure 11, there'll be a sort of elemental titan dragon unleashed when a volcano erupts, but it's not the talkative type.

A portal to the outer planes in adventure 12 is guarded by an old dragon tyrant.[/sblock]

All of this is tentative, because we're still months or more out. So it may change if I have a better idea (or forget I came up with this one).

Great. Thanks. I'll alter the adventure to use some other powerful creature instead.

I think I have a good idea who the 'active' dragon might be. Would it be bad form to hazard a guess?
