Dragons return to Beneterra, so consulting the historical record to find dragon lore for week 26 of The Rumor Mill seems appropriate. Exploring stories of good, bad, and neutral dragons throughout the world might give us hints of how the dragons may act once they fill the skies once again. Draconic artifacts and magical items haven't been created in the past 500 years, though some have survived the centuries as revered (or not-so-revered) objects in various cultures.
Let the draconic lore roll, as sages scramble to find ancient tomes and inform the world about its latest returning residents.
| 1d8 | Rumor | True? |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | The Banner Kings have regifted Sunderscale the claymore so often it's a joke. | Yes1 |
| 2 | Shaxalar the Mirror retired to a hermit's life in a mountain cave next to a glacier. | Maybe2 |
| 3 | Tradition states that all dragons must parley if asked politely in Draconic. | No3 |
| 4 | The Pentadamas Diadem holds five gem dragon souls eager to control the wearer. | Maybe4 |
| 5 | The Lord of Embers disappeared before the Sundered Empire fell to the Ionians. | Yes5 |
| 6 | Masmavi Vadi in Okular has always been a trade hub based in a dragon's cave. | Maybe6 |
| 7 | Dragontouched kobolds stand to inherit great power when the dragons return. | No7 |
| 8 | Endarix (aka Glimmerdawn) spent much of his life walking cities in human form. | Yes8 |
1 - This storied Dragon Slayer greatsword hasn't been useful for centuries, so Dunhill nobles present it to each other for laughs.
2 - Dragon Peak's teleport circle let her host performances, galleries, and workshops featuring artists from all over the globe.
3 - Tradition has led many fools to their deaths. A hungry chromatic dragon will eat your flesh, no matter how politely you beg.
4 - The Fivefold Eye isn't cursed per se, but its gem dragon essences empathically leak motivations and emotions into the wearer.
5 - Over 800 years ago, the red-scaled Lord of Embers ruled the Empire of Felaeros, demanding human fealty or destruction.
6 - Azure Valley earned its name as the lair of Masmavi Yildirim - the Azure Lightning, an ancient and crafty blue dragon.
7 - A dragon's mere presence will not energize these dragon-worshippers with powers, but dragons may grant favors to the faithful.
8 - Friends and confidants call him "En", or if they want to needle him, "Glim". Magic and mortal philosophy fascinates him.
