Wait, it doesn't have anything to do with either? Glad I don't buy WoTC adventures.
Spoilers - but there are two dragons in the adventure - if you follow some paths.It does.
A "Dragon" is a GP minted in Waterdeep.
A lot of them have been stolen in the adventures backstop.
Now clues to the hoards location have been found & 4 BBEG groups are trying to re-steal them. The pcs are also in on the search/trying to stop that.
And there IS a dragon (monster) involved at the end....

Considering that the adventure already removes agency and heavily railroads the players (see what happens if the PCs get the macguffin “too early”), I’m not sure that one more railroady bit would make that much difference.... but that would remove their agency and feel really streamrollered. I would not have been a fan.
I mean, yeah, it's not a hard concept. It's not a hard campaign to design, conceptually, but I guess sometimes you design the campaign first and come up with kinda-bizarrely-misleading title for it later.
If it was higher level, you could add in some henchmen and or followers to get up to 11The Dragon in question apparently refers to Dragons being the currency of Waterdeep. And there's no heist.
You might be able to reach Dragon's 8, especially if you counted familiars.
