OF-Erad: With great sadness, the realm that the Nexus Council retired to deep beneath the surface was recently attacked by "Moder Jord", and she left a Black Spore Plague that has forced the Council to evacuate their lair. The Wyrms have gotten on in their years, and now are now transforming into guardians of the land. Before dragon’s twilight overtakes them, a great Wyrm finds a location that suits its nature and transports its vast hoard to the spot. Then it enters one last period of dragon sleep, consuming its hoard as it magically becomes one with the landscape. Such a great Wyrm could transform into a hill or mountain, a deep lake, a wooded grove, a secluded desert, or some other terrain feature.
Legends describe young dragons seeking knowledge and advice from these sleeping guardians, as well as sacrilegious thieves hunting for the remains of the hoard. They believe that only a portion of the hoard is consumed in the transformation. The rest waits at the bottom of the lake, or deep within the mountain, or in some other appropriately guarded location in the terrain.
The next chapter - War of the Wyrms and the Dracoliches.
A final method for cheating the dragon’s twilight is only available to evil dragons. Through a complex process involving arcane spells of a malevolent nature, these dragons become undead creatures known as dracoliches. These creatures are extremely rare, for all living dragons - including the chromatic dragons - despise and fear dracoliches. When the presence of such a creature is detected, the Council gathers a horde of different dragons to oppose it.
Preparations for the battle are being made. Will you be a part of this next battle? (Stay Tuned)
