'Tis said that hidden within the Serpent's Spine there lies a valley surrounded by the most majestic of peaks. Within these mountains, so the minstrels sing, runs a series of catacombs, the Weyrmount, home of a race of Dragons. They are no ordinary breed of serpent, unlikely to hoard riches, devastate towns, or devour maidens. Historians, philosophers, warriors, artisans, and personas of all sorts make up this lot. Although much discussion involves the history of Britannia, more often than not, talk centers around the day-to-day affairs of Dragon-kind.
Dragon Lairs
Common mythos in Britannia implies that for each Dragon that lives within the Weyrmount, there exists a complimentary persona in thy world. I, however, believe in no such nonsense, though I have spoken to one of thy kind who insists that 'tis true. This New Breed of Dragon, as he calls himself, has informed me of where thou mayest learn more of his kind:
-
UDIC: 'Tis the main archive for these Dragons, but more recent information can be found at The Unofficial UDIC pages. There is also instructions on how to join the Dragons . . if thou art so inclined.
-
rec.games.computer.ultima.dragons: 'Tis the lair where the earthly personas of the Dragon can often be found. Be wary, though they are the kindest of souls, their discussion is often heated with debate.
-
The Ring of Dragons: Many Dragons dwell within this plane and are eager to share their knowledge.
-
Dragon Home Pages: A list of earthly sites where thou mayest learn more of individual Dragons.
