EMPEROR FIRE DRAGON (v1)

The oldest, largest and most feared dragons are Emperor Dragons. They are ancient

creatures, many thousands of years old, and they are powerful, strong, wise and cunning.

Today Emperor Dragons are very rare, and the few that have survived spend most of their

time hidden away and asleep, guarding their vast treasures hordes, which they have spent

centuries gathering. All Emperor Dragons love gold and riches, and the horde of an

Emperor Dragon is wealth equal to the greatest King’s treasury. Because of their vast

wealth an Emperor Dragon does not like to venture far from its lair, in case of theft, but at

need the great beast will unfurl its ancient wings and fly down from its mountain lair to

feed and plunder.

An Emperor dragon in battle is a terrible sight, capable of laying waste to whole armies,

destroying towns, razing crop fields and consuming herds of livestock. Once provoked to

battle there are few creatures or heroes capable of defeating an Emperor Dragon.

There are still fewer individuals capable of taming such a mighty beast, and even the

Dragon Riders of Caledor, who once rode to battle upon the backs of dragons, were never

able to tame the greatest Emperor dragons.
