WELCOME TO A DISTANT LEGEND
Look to the most distant, imposing peak, the one that pierces the very heart of the clouds, shrouded in eternal mist and legend. That is not a place you can visit. That is a monument. A tomb. A memory. That is the fabled lair of Ignis, the First Dragon, who made his home there before the first dwarves ever struck a chisel to stone. It is a sacred, forbidden place, holding secrets that predate mortal history.
MEET THE LORE-KEEPER: CHRONOSCALUS
Resting on a high, sun-warmed ledge far from the caldera is Chronoscalus, an ancient dragon whose verdigris-coated, frost blue scales are dull with time. He is a historian, a keeper of memories, and a guardian of the dragons' most ancient lore. He has little patience for the fleeting ambitions of mortals and views the world in epochs, not days.
LORE & SECRETS
This peak is one of the most sacred sites in dragon lore, second only to the caldera itself. It is said to be the resting place of the First Dragon, Ignis, from an age before the Stoneforge Mountains even had a name. No mortal has ever set foot on its summit and returned. The dragons themselves treat it as hallowed ground, a place of pilgrimage and quiet contemplation, not a dwelling.
"WHY DO YOU POINT? IT IS A MOUNTAIN. A MEMORY OF A GREATER FIRE. IGNIS WAS THE FIRST, THE FATHER OF OUR FLAME. HIS SPIRIT IS THE STONE, HIS BREATH THE WIND. YOU MORTALS SEEK TO TOUCH EVERYTHING, TO CLAIM IT. THIS PLACE IS NOT FOR YOU. IT IS NOT A LAIR. IT IS A LEGEND."
Key Tip: Heed the warning: Best viewed from afar. The peak is shrouded in clouds and powerful, ancient magic. To even attempt the climb is not just suicide; it is a profound insult to dragonkind, and they will not suffer such disrespect.
