Metallic dragons cannot be found on this side of the World’s Edge. As everyone knows, gold dragons are fire made flesh and must draw in heat to survive. A careful man may note a chill on the wind and know that a gold dragon has stolen its heat and lakes in which the dragons swim ice over in mid summer. As a result, they grow sluggish and lethargic in winter and their scales make excellent drink coolers (such as the Cup of the Doge).
Hooks:
- Why aren’t there any metallic dragons around?
- How do gold dragons get enough heat to last through the winter? I suppose the sweltering heat of the jungles beyond the World’s Edge help. Do they hibernate?
- What do silver dragon scales do? Do they draw on light or moonlight?
- Can silver dragon breath really negate magic?
