The Hoard Beneath the Elder Flame

The dragon's treasury is not arranged like a merchant's vault, but like a monument to centuries of conquest. Coins fill the lower chambers in glittering drifts, while royal regalia, rare gemstones, arcane instruments, and relics taken from defeated champions occupy raised stone shelves. The dragon's most prized possessions were protected from flame in sealed coffers, including powerful healing, defensive, and destructive magic. Among the treasures are unmistakable remnants of lost kingdoms and draconic crafting materials valuable enough to attract archmages, kings, and rival dragons. The hoard is worth a fortune even before its magical items are identified, but several pieces may carry political obligations or awaken old claims from surviving heirs.
