Geocache Description:


Welcome to the DRAGON'S REALM

Dragon Fortress [Final]

Dragon Fortress [Final]
The Dragon Fortress lies hidden deep within the Dragon's Realm. Many adventurers have journeyed through the realm, battling dragons and overcoming obstacles in search of the fabled treasure filled with riches and heavily protected by an ancient empire of dragons. Many have entered the Dragon's Realm, but few have made it out alive to tell of their stories of adventure and despair. Are you up for the challenge or find the legendary Dragon Fortress? There are many dangers along the way. Be careful and seek out the clues to help you find the hidden fortress. If by some chance you and your fellow adventurers make it to the fortress, then you are worthy of the treasures that lie within the Dragon's Realm. Even if you are successful in your quest of finding the Dragon's Fortress and locating the treasure, you still need to make it out alive. May luck be with you.

About the Dragon's Realm series
This series consists of 19 geocaches. In order to find the final treasure located at the Dragon Fortress, you will need to journey through the far reaches of the Dragon's Realm to locate 18 treasures each containing a code word (18 in total). You can complete these 18 journeys in any order, however many adventurers will go from the west to the east as it is wise to seek the blessing of the Dragon King upon entering the Realm. As you complete each journey and discover the code word, you can enter the code into its respective Certitude checker (see Geocaches in the Dragon's Realm series section below). Take note of how many dragons of each colour appear when you enter each code word. The treasure at the Dragon's Fortress can be found by entering the total counts of each coloured dragon into the following:
N43 38.{red}{blue}{orange} W79 5{brown}.{green}{purple}{yellow}
You can use the Dragon's Realm Work Sheet to keep track of the code words and coloured dragons that you encounter.
**All information related to this series can be found on this cache page.

More Information About This Series:
--You need to get a code word from each of the 18 other caches in this series and enter them into their respective Certitude checker as indicated on this cache page.
--Coordinate checker for final also included, with bonus directions on how to reach the final.
--Code words can be found within each cache in such spots as on a red dragon insert card, in the log book/sheet or somewhere on the container/lid.
--Do not remove any of the red dragon cards or items containing the code words. Also, do not take the dragon egg.
--All correct code words will reveal two coloured dragons.
--If you encounter more than 6 black dragons, then you most likely have failed in your quest. Be careful of black dragons as they will try and deceive you.
--Rain is dangerous. A powerful wizard once cast a spell to infect the rain with acid in hopes of harming the dragons, but they were immune. However humans and other woodland creatures were not. Their skin would burn from the rain. Not only is rain harmful to humans, but it also affects and ruins the logbooks and caches. Do not enter the Dragon's Realm during periods of rain.
--Some caches will require bushwhacking.
--Be cautious of muggle warriors while walking through the Dragon's Realm. In exposed spots, move to a nearby area when signing the log so as to avoid suspicion.
--All caches in this series have "Dragon" in their cache name. See below for list/links.
--All caches are located within or near the Hungry Hollow trail system
--Various parking and access points to the Hungry Hollow valley have been indicated on this cache page. There are others too, but these are the best ones.
--Do not park along 8th Line or 15th Sideroad. Even though there aren't any No Parking signs, I don't think it is legal to park there.
--All caches are meant to be found and enjoyed and hence the hints and information provided should be enough that you hopefully will find every geocache.
--Read the descriptive stories for each of the cache pages as they may contain relevant or important information.
--Spoiler pics may randomly be included on the Dragon's Realm web site.
--Pictures included on the cache pages may be of the hide or nearby area or some other interesting spot you may encounter on your journey.
--Anyone finding the Dragon Fortress [Final] without completing all of the adventures in this series will be beheaded or perhaps eaten by a dragon.
--If you get stuck or have problems along the way, feel free to contact me and I will be glad to help. I may even walk over and meet you.
--You need data on your phone to access the code checker links to enter the codes that you collect. If you don't have data, you can always go to a nearby wifi spot in town or enter your codes at home and come back at a later date to seek the final. You don't have to find all the caches in this series in one day.
--If doing to series in one shot from a single trailhead, expect a 13km round trip journey.
--This series consists of 10 Traditionals, 4 Multis, 2 Letterboxes, 1 Mystery (the final), 1 Earthcache and 1 Adventure Lab.
