Dragons in Pathfinder!


Lost Omens Campaign Setting General Discussion


I personally love Dragons, so I was wondering if there's gonna be more info about them (In Pathfinder Universe) in the Future?
(Meaning more than what was in Guardian's of Dragonfall or Rise of the Runelords : Fortress of Stone Giants.)

It would be nice if there was a group of Dragons who had established a Empire/Kingdom where people/races worshipped Apsu. (I know it sounds a lot like Argonesse in Eberron, But maybe Pathfinder guys can come up with something new and exciting for Pathfinder.).

Golarion is a big place and there are many places that could still exist outside current map.

Anyone have good ideas, please post them here!!!

The Isle of Hermea is ruled by a dragon, gold i believe. There's not much about it in the Gazetteer but there are hints and it could be part of what your looking for, also a blue dragon is running mabhad leigh in Varisia at current I believe.


Good question. I'm interested and curious what the answer is as well. Generally speaking almost every fantasy setting that I can think of has a significant answer for the question "what are Dragons?"

Usually this is heavily tied into the mythology (often the creation mythology) of the world itself. One exception to this that I can think of off hand would be Greyhawk - which might partly explain why there does not seem to be much in terms of information regarding the place that Dragons hold in the cosmos that has come to light so far.


Damn, now I can't wait till the Gazeteer arrives already..
=).

Hopefully when Pathfinder grows, they will go more into details,
an adventure into that area might be good opportunity to broaden the area and show more information.

Are, perhaps, the Linnorm Kings dragons themselves, or heavily influenced by the dragons of the north?

The Linnorm Kings are human warriors who have defeated, in single combat, a Linnorm. These great heroes attract so many carls, thanes, and other warriors that they become kings.

There are currently four Linnorm Kings.

There isn't a lot about it in there, only a couple of mentions in the timeline and some class writeups (like monks and sorcerers).

I'm sure that we'll hear more about dragons in the future. Everybody loves dragons. Especially those kobolds. Expect a kobold coup in the next couple of months, where they abduct an important public figure and demand a 1000+ pages hardcover (bound in gnomeskin) dealing with dragons and how they're the the sheet. (Don't correct them on it!!)

Seriously, though: I'm sure they'll get a Companion, at least. Maybe a full-fledged Chronicles book.

It also sounds like the Dragon Lands in the Scarred Lands setting. There the dragons have established an empire very similar to imperial Japan or China.

You begging him for the dragons book, Nick begging him for some fiction assignment. I bet James can't walk two feet in his office without falling over someone. :P

Nah. I have big feet. I just crush them underfoot and they rebuild themselves in my wake. It's kind of creepy, in fact.

Is Crush Hopes and Dreams a feat, or a class feature you picked up when you PrC'd into Editor-In-Chief?

It's a class feature he gets, like my cone of rejection breath weapon.

The Dragons of the Celestial Host from Mike's Dragon Article in PF #4 could fill such a role. So maybe we'll just have to wait until Tian Xia gets it's own AP.
