Treasures and Curiosities of the Dragonwrack



Where great dragons swarm or do battle the land is split and transformed for leagues in every direction. The twisting of the earth, the uprooting of forests, the shattering of mountains, and the transformations of flesh and metal brought on by draconic wrath reveal and leave behind a variety of wealth and curiosities.

Descriptions of items on table above in order of presentation on table:

Stained Gold- this gold has been stained by exposure to heats, acids, and gases released by dragons. The entirety of the material will not typically be stained and can sometimes create unique and desirable patterning. Such stained gold will resell for half to double normal value.

Burnt Gold- this gold is clearly burned by exposure to draconic fire and may show some additional damage. Gold artifacts that survive the catastrophic circumstances of the burning can still fetch from half to triple it’s normal value from jewelers, master weapon-smiths, and collectors.

Coloured Gold- this gold has been colored by exposure to intense heat and a variety of chemicals without compromising the integrity of the metal. Such colored gold will resell from half it’s normal value to possibly five times as much.

Copperas Swill- a liquid mixture of orgasnic matter dissolved by draconic acid containing a goodly portion of dissolved copper.

Ebonized Bronze- bronze that has had it’s coloration darkened, even blackened by intense heat of dragon flame and absorbed some of the chemical pollution of the nearby smoke. Such material is often beautiful to the eye (if one discounts it’s origins). Some red-smiths claim and can be reworked to form quality hepatizon.

Neutered Black Acid- The black dragon acid neutralized by high quantities of dissolved matter and liquids. There are a number of alchemical processes where this material may still be of use and it is even possible to distill the acid from this black slurry.

Black Ice- this curious ice is very dangerous as it melts into volatile acid instead of water. It is thought to be produced when the breath of white dragons and black dragons intersects. Black Ice melts quickly in the sun but does not otherwise melt as quickly as normal water ice if kept away from sunlight and is quite valuable because of this property. Some claim alchemists and wizards are able to stabilize and fortify black ice so as to use it manufacture of magical arms and armor.

Stamp Plug- this hideous curiosity is a mangled mess of armor, arms, and jewelry intermingled with clothing, flesh and bone all bound together at the moment a huge dragon stamped flat a warrior or other person into the earth with a great paws or its great swollen belly.
Opalized Bole-  a great segment of a tree quickly petrified and transmogrified into a wonderful gemstone through processes not understood by sages but undoubtedly associated with the rampages of dragons.
Petrified Timber- wood that has been petrified by gases and energies associated with dragons and magical combat. Such timber is not as beautiful as opalized boles but it is of value as a curiosity, in works of art and as inlay for a variety of equipment and arms.

Stone Rose- A flower (not always a rose despite the name) somehow petrified for the ages.  Stone roses and the even less common Crystal roses are in demand as a curiosity and by jewelers who delight in being able to use them in works of wonder.

Cinder Jack- the remains of a hapless person or humanoid entirely burnt by dragon fire but not reduced to loose ash but quickly carbonized by the process so much of the remains are intact and identifiable. Pieces of a Cinder jack are in demand as a morbid curiosity and for magical experimentation. A cinder jack of a small humanoid or child will sometimes be known as a cinder punk. A Cinder Saint is a cinder jack that some claim to be the remains of a cleric or saint.

Dragon Tears- a semi-precious gem sometime produced when a mixture of dragon bile and saliva spills to the bare earth or sand shortly after a dragon uses it’s deadly breath weapon.  Dragon-hunters have been known to lose a hand by foolishly rooting about for dragon tears before they completely solidify.

Flayed Crown- mostly intact skulls of dragon victims bearing some evidence of the fate they suffered (maybe scraps of dehydrated burnt flesh, melted helmets, and such).  They are a curiosity among morbid collectors and an item coveted by some necromancers for reasons unknown.

Dragon Fang- a dragon’s fang broken ones are not an uncommon find at the site of a dragon battle if an intact one can be found it is considered of greater value than a snapped nub. Some weapon-smiths can work an intact or mostly intact dragon fang into a respectable dagger, or maybe even sword.

Dragon Claw- as with the fangs the claws of dragons are not unusual finds and they are of value as curiosities and a number of arcane works.

Dragon Scale- the hides of dragons are covered in a great number of scales and these may fetch a small but of coin as a curiosity but some are of greater value to armourers in the know that can fashion the scales into shields or use them to produce armor.

Dragon Silt- nightsoil, i.e. dung squzezed or scrapped from a dragon’s innards. Sometimes “sausages” consisting of a length of bowel/intestines tied off at each end will be transported for resale or use elsewhere. There are industrial and magical processes that make use of dragon silt and it is sometimes found to contain portions of metal items and even whole gems and coins as some dragons are prone to swallow great quantities of treasure for transport and it does not all remain in their crop.

Crop Bag- the intact (and hopefully packed) crop of a dragon is a curiosity of sometimes great size and often great value as dragon crops have been found with variety of remains, materials, and wealth within them.  Many dragon hunters will quickly search out and remove a dragon’s crop and secure it (nominally having left the contents alone)  to haul it away for sale to an aristocrat so they can be unpacked at a gathering of the decadently curious.

Dragon Bile- A dragons bile is qa considerable constituent of it’s breath weapon. The bile is not typically dangerous unless very fresh or allowed to mix with draco-catalysticum. There are a number of industrial and arcane uses for dragon bile, the fresher the better.

Draco-catalysticum- is a semi-magical material produced by dragons and the critical element of their breath weapons that turns their bile into a wide variety of fearsome breath weapons. The material is best kept away from open flame, water, salt, blood, acid, and prolonged exposure to air unless one wishes to die quickly. Many a would-be butcher of a dragon carcass has run afoul of this material or so say the survivors.

Pyrocatalystic Gland- this is the (misnamed) organ thought to produce Draco-catalysticum and is of immense value to many alchemists and wizards if harvested intact. Sometimes the gland will be emptied and preserved for later use but often the intact and unspoiled contents are the desired element.
