Dragoncoil Guide

Like petrified waves of broken bone, the wind-scoured crags of the Dragoncoil Mountains undulate through the Eastern Dragon Empire. Looming like cyclopean gods, these jagged, snow-capped peaks dominate nearly every horizon of this vast, alpine region. Mezar, Betik, and sacred Kalpostan all lie nestled within the harsh embrace of these timeless mountains.

From those high, cold peaks and fertile, glacial valleys, you have come, bringing with you the traditional skills, dragon lore, and mountaincraft of the old, high-mountain tribes.

Whether full or half-blooded dragon-kin from among the indigenous mountain clans or a liberated jambuka bondsman or honorary member of similar clans, you have come to know well the mountains, their moods, and their scaly masters. You are a born mountaineer, navigating high-mountain passes and alpine trails with instinctual skill.

Of wild dragons, you are nearly equally versed, for the Dragoncoil Mountains come by their name honestly. They are home to Mharot the Founder and the birthplace of the Great Compact.

Here truly be dragons.

You read the spoor and sign of the night hunters and know the safest daylight crossings of their territories. You have mastered camouflage and cover, movement and motionlessness (sometimes for hours), for the aerial hunters, night or day, are by far the most prevalent. You know the mating and sleeping seasons, the hunting habits and favored flight paths. Few can match your knowledge and understanding of those primeval peaks and the terrible and timeless beasts that rule there.
