Ancient Dragon

The last surviving Ancient Dragon — a being of mythic age, near-divine power, and absolute sovereignty over dragonkind.

It has been here longer than the city whose ruins now ring its resting place. The Ancient Dragon does not sleep — it meditates, replaying the deaths of every kingdom it has outlived. When it finally turns its gaze upon you, the weight of that history is physical. Many raiders have simply fled at this moment. The ones who stayed have stories. Some of them even survived to tell them.
