Overview
A green dragon named Celadon dwells in this wood. Using his sinuous body and stubby legs, he can slither up tree trunks like a boa constrictor to watch for his favorite prey: questing knights of Thring. He is not particularly old, mighty or cruel, but Celadon is unusual among dragons for not having a single massive hoard. Instead, he buries is loot in many places across the forest. The kobolds that spring from Celadon’s dreams gravitate towards these stashes. Those who evade wolves, feral ostriches and knights cobble together dens around the hidden treasure. These dens are filled with traps that guarantee adventurers won’t dig anything up without a mangling. And treasure hunters who do retrieve loot must also contend with Celadon himself.
Connections
-Anyissa, a Scarecrow of the Eyrie (08.16), made a name for herself when she retrieved a great golden egg from one of Celadon’s stashes. She planned to give it to her home village, but the appearance of a long crack along the egg’s surface has caused some alarm.
- Goblins sometimes feed these kobolds to vampiric trees (11.11).
