The original <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lambton_Worm" target="_blank">Lambton Worm</a> folktale is well suited to Ravenloft though. Perhaps, after becoming cursed by accidently killing his father, Dragonslayer John Lambton became a dark lord, and the people of County Durham were transformed into dragonborn to torment him. Clearly, to defeat him and escape from the domain, the PCs will need to recover his cursed spiked armor and kill him with it.Alternatively, the dragon could be the darklord, and the domain populated by dragon-themed monsters. I had a sidequst in my last Ravenloft adventure, featuring a crystal dragon who, polymorphed into human form, had been an adventurer wielding the Sword Blackrazor. After getting drawn into Ravenloft she had been corrupted by the dark powers into a crystal shadowdragon. Since my players decided not to go after her, she is still alive and could become a dark lord in her own right.</blockquote>
