Introductory Note on Dragons

Of Dragons.

Dragons the great wurmmes of the earth once swarmed the world in vast flights scouring the lands of all it could produce feeding upon the populations of the old world as a wild beasts set upon untended flocks. There are still solitary wurmmes and the occasional fledlging nest bursting forth with ravenous hatchlings but these are relatively rare (compared to the daysof The Dragon Plague) and save for the lairs of the greatest Auld Wurmmes targets of thieves and dragon-hunters. The Forgotten craft arms and armor from the hides and bones of dragons and the decadent courts of the subject empires wonder at the broken remains of the old kingdoms scorched and polluted by dragonbreath.

Even with a trade in dragon hides and egg shards all but the most foolhardy dragon-hunters fear the Aulde Wurmmes known by the names of Iminbyr the Crimson, Slank the Sable Stalker, Raniverous the Viridescent, Pyraximus the Cerulean, and Milk-eyed Shashimyr.

Straight out of my player's primer. More setting flavor and naming four of the biggest threats and surely guardians of the largest treasure hoards.
