The Copper Mesa: Collaborative World Building Challenge (all welcome)

[Tonguez]

So after seeing the new Copper Dragon art and noting that they are social creatures I got to thinking about Copper Dragon Lairs and the kinds of society(s) that might gather around them. So heres your challenge

The Copper Mesa is nestled within a series of rugged hills and mesas, characterized by their vibrant copper hues that shimmer under the sun. The Copper Dragon Verdigrax has settled here on the highest butte from which she surveys her domain...​

What does she see?
You dear friend are invited to contribute one fact about the regions landscape, inhabitants, creatures, society, lair, economy, neighbours, rivals, challenges and plothooks etc etc. How does living in the domain of a copper dragon affect life around her? How can this be made gameable for adventurers exploring the world?

Your turn

• just one gameable fact,
• others can respond and add to it or add their own
• system agnostic but 5e dragon stats

Copper dragons dwell in dry uplands and on hilltops, where they make their lairs in narrow caves. treasure is hidden.
They are known to be quite sociable and even tempered. They enjoyed good humor or wit, but became annoyed if someone didn't laugh at a joke that they made or take their pranks well...

(Feel free to get specific with Verdigraxes personality and behaviour too.)
