CHAPTER 1

ifa man wishes to become a hero, then the serpent must
first become a draaon: otherwise he lacks his proper enemy.
- Friedrich Nietzsche
FEW CREATURES can match the power and
splendor ofdragons. Armed with claws and fangs that
can rend steel, armored in scales as tough as iron, faster
than an eagle in flight, and strong enough to shatter
castle gates, a full·grown dragon is an awesome foe.
Dragons would be exceedingly dangerous creatures
even if they were dumb, ordinary beasts, because of
their size and power. But they are also gifted with cold.
calculating reason and furnaces ofelemental energy
that provide them with terrible breath weapons.
In some places and times, dragons are scarcely
more than legend, creatures so rare and mysterious
that centuries pass without a sighting ofone. In other
times. dragons rule over the world. darkening the
skies and destroying or subjugating lesser beings. The
current age falls somewhere between these extremes.
In the few centers ofcivilization. dragons are a rare
sight. The typical farmer or merchant might see a
dragon only once or twice in his life. But in the bor­
derlands or the great wide wildernesses surrounding
those domains. dragons are much more common.
This chapter explores the nature of metallic
dragons and their place in the world. It includes the
following topics.
+ Origins: How metallic dragons arose in the world,
and why they differ from their chromatic kin.
+ Physiology: A summary of the physical traits that
give dragons their unique strengths.
• Life Cycle: The stages ofa d ragon's life. from con­
ception to death.
+ Outlook and Psychology: A look at the workings
ofa typical dragon's mind, and bow a dragon's
power and self-absorption color its personality.
+ Society: A discussion of the interactions of the

highly social metallic dragons.

+ Religion: How these prideful creatures view

tbe deities, and which ones they consent to

worship.

+ Metallic Dragons in Detail: A brieflook at

each of the twelve kinds of metallic dragons.

CHAPTER 1 I Dra80n Lore
As you might expect of the world's most majestic and
powerful creatures. dragons are featured in all manner
of heraldic devices and coats of arms. Though culture in
the world Isn't monolithic enough for widespread, unified
systems of heraldry, everyone is familiar with the traits
of dragons. Images of dragons can appear as charges
(appearing In one of the divisions of a shield) or support­
ers (figures that stand to either side of the shield and
appear to be holding It upright). Dragons are also used
as crests, small figurines that top helmets.
Each variety of dragon symbolizes different qualities or
virtues. Chromatic dragons in heraldry are viewed as mar­
tial, aggressive devices and usually belong to Individuals
or families who made themselves known through battle.
Metallic dragons are regarded as devices signifying domin­
Ion and status. and they often reflect titles bestowed for
loyalty and accomplishment. However. exceptions abound,
and the dragons featured carry no real connotation of the
owners' alignment or trustworthiness. A family whose coat
of arms features a red dragon is as IlkeJy to be honorable and
good as one whose coat of arms Includes a gold dragon.
The dragons most commonly used in heraldry, and
their heraldic qualities, are these:
Adamantine: Pride, Immovability. or stoicism. Heroes
who successfully defend some place against attack are
often associated With this device.
Black: Death. tragedy, or terror. A black dragon device
usually bears a negative connotation, but families that
endure curses or heroes renowned for fearlessness in the
face of the supernatural sometimes choose this device.
Blue: Ambition, superiority, knowledge, The blue
dragon device often suggests arcane magic, but might also
suggest arrogance. Families that include famous wizards
often choose this device.
Copper: Wealth, prosperity, or mercantile Interests,
possibly also luck or good fortune. Families that have roots
as merchants often choose copper dragons.
Gold: Divine right. nobility, or law. Gold dragon devices
are considered royal in many lands and are usually
reserved for the highest levels of the nobility.
Green: Cunning. revenge, beauty, or fey. Families sworn
to overturn some andent wrong might bear this device.
as might those who claim eladrln or elven kinship.
Iron: Determination. courage. orzeal. The Iron dragon
connotes single-minded ness and ardor for battle. but it
can also stand for mercilessness.
Red: Strength. power. or destruction. Families that took
their lands by conquest often feature a red dragon In their
heraldry.
Sliver: Honor. duty, or sacriflce. The silver dragon
is a favorite of families that Include famous knights or
paladins.
White: Rage. ferocity. or the hunt. The white dragon
device often connotes a willingness to feud or a refusal
to overlook slights.
