Name: Soldrinureth, Electrum Dragon
Age: Very Old 600+
Description: To the untrained eye, or those uneducated in the Draco species, an electrum dragon might be mistaken for a gold dragon. Electrum dragons have a golden hue to their scales that can shimmer in bright light. The difference between their coloration and that of an actual gold dragon is that electrum dragons always have a faint hint of green to their scales.​

Besides the difference in their coloration, electrum dragons usually are smaller than gold dragons as well. Also, while most gold dragons have a regal air about them, electrum dragons have one of learned wisdom. 

Personality: Soldrinureth is a scholar at heart, like most electrum dragons, and spent the past one hundred and fifty years in a happy partnership with the wizard Olefaris the Wise. Soldrinureth and Olefaris were often referred to as the Old couple of Chalcedor, however, the once jovial Soldrinureth has lost some of his good nature since the passing Olefaris. Despite his recent melancholy, Soldrinureth is still a friendly and respectful dragon that welcomes all visitors to the Dome of the Stars.
Soldrinureth tends to speak with big and antiquated words influenced by his studies. Always cordial and polite, Soldrinureth has impeccable manners.

Location: Soldrinureth lives at the Dome of Stars, located in the Lortmil Mountains just off the Ulek pass, an extension of the road leading from Barleyton in the Duchy of Ulek to the capital of Celene, Enstad.

Lair: The Dome of the Stars is where Soldrinureth makes his home. It is not a traditional lair. The Dome of the Stars is a large museum, library, and, most importantly, an observatory situated on a high peak. The large dome structure is made of simple, undecorated granite blocks, with a small rotating metal cap at its top. A large telescope used for stargazing is located within the metal cap, which is actually a rotating room.

The Dome of the Stars' interior is crammed with rows of bookshelves dominate the floor of the massive and open space inside. Sprinkled throughout are alchemy stations and other laboratories for conducting experiments, but the main attraction is the constellations painted on the dome's walls. A spiraling staircase leads to scaffolding at the top of the dome, where the telescope is located within the metal observation room. The illumination inside the dome always resembles twilight allowing the stars painted onto the purplish-blue walls to glow with a soft glow. Staring up at the dome is like looking up at the night sky.

In addition to the books within the Dome of the Stars are countless other treasures. Soldrinureth hoard is not one in the traditional sense, but instead, he and Olefaris collected things of beauty. Luxurious rugs cover the floors, and paintings and tapestries cover the lowest section of the dome's walls. Statues and other works of art can be seen throughout the place, including display cases with insect collections from Hepmonaland, to a dizzying array of musical instruments. 

The library contains hundreds of tomes on astronomy, astrology, and the stars. The most valuable item in the dome is the telescope itself, which is the most powerful one in the Flanaess, according to Soldrinureth.

​Relations: The Dome of the Stars is where the learned can come to study so long as they were willing to share their research with others. Because of this open-door policy, they receive many visitors from the Ulek states, and Celene looking to do research, especially if they are interested in learning about the stars. Worshipers of the god Celestian often make pilgrimages to the dome to use its telescope, helping them feel closer to their deity. There are even rumors that Celestian himself has visited the dome in disguise to enjoy the comradery of the countless stargazers that visit there.
 
History: Soldrinureth, like most electrum dragons, was always an avid devotee to intellectual pursuits, so when he heard of a wizard named Olefaris erecting an observatory and Sanctorum in the Lortmil Mountains, he hurried there to have a look. Upon arriving, he was greeted with a site still under construction by a small army of constructs. The two instantly hit it off and became quick friends and eventually partners. Soldrinureth gladly offered his vast wealth of knowledge and considerable strength to helping finish the observatory. Once completed, Olefaris invited all of his past associates and friends to use the facility, and over the centuries, Soldrinureth became friends with many of them. Eventually, Olefaris grew old and passed, leaving Soldrinureth the sole curator of the facility. 
 
Nowadays, Soldrinureth keeps the staff of constructs that keep the place clean and functioning correctly and in working order and conducting his own research and stargazing. Soldrinureth still mourns the passing of Olefaris, whose mausoleum is at the center of a garden just outside the Dome of the Stars. When not visiting with or helping others, he can be found there have long conversations by himself as if Olefaris was there with him.
 
Adventure Hooks: The fame of the Dome of the Stars is well known throughout the Ulek States, and Celene, and those seeking answers written in the stars, come there. Characters can be looking for those answers themselves or looking for help assistance in research. Soldrinureth questions everyone who comes to the dome, and if their research is deemed harmful or malicious, they will be politely asked to leave or forcefully removed by the domes construct guards and the dragon himself.

Spells: (Taken from the original Ed Greenwood Article) The electrum dragon (Draco Magus electrum) is a rare, solitary creature who dwells far from civilization, usually in mountainous areas, and always lairs in a cavern or stone building. It is usually peaceful and philosophical in nature, but can be a formidable fighter if aroused.
Electrum dragons enjoy trading, bargaining, and philosophical debate. They hoard things of beauty (such as finely crafted items) rather than wealth per se; a typical electrum dragon’s hoard might contain statues, a harp or two, tapestries, and gems and jewelry, but few coins of any metal. Electrum dragons mate approximately every 100 years, the female producing 1-4 rubbery, foot-long eggs a year after mating. These eggs are laid and left untended; each egg (if it remains unmolested) is 75% likely to be fertile, and will hatch in a matter of days.
Combat: An electrum dragon fights with its breath weapon or by spell casting, in addition to possibly employing its physical (claw/claw/bite) attacks, and may direct these four attacks against multiple targets in any round of combat.
Breath Weapon: Its breath weapon is a unique, unstable gas emitted in a cone 4 long by 3 by 3 high, which reacts with air and loses its effectiveness after 1 round. This gas causes enfeeblement (effects last for 1 turn), confusion (for 9 rounds), or both. All creatures in the affected area must save twice vs. breath weapon to avoid both effects.
Magical Abilities: An electrum dragon begins life able to detect magic and read magic, gains the ability to identify items on touch without any ill or cursed effects upon growing to Young state, and upon becoming an Adult, gains the power to dispel magic once per day. A Very Old electrum dragon can dispel magic twice per day. These are all natural abilities (the former two usable at will without limitation), rather than spells.
In addition to these abilities, an electrum dragon gains the ability to cast spells as follows: Very Young specimens can cast one 1st level magic-user spell each 24 hours; Young ones can cast two 1st level spells a day; Sub-Adults, two 1st and one 2nd level spell per day; Young Adults, 3 1st and 2 2nd; Adults, 4 1st, 2 2nd, and 1 3rd level spell: Old 4, 2, and 2; Very Old: 4, 3, 2, and 1 4th level spell; and Ancient, 4, 3, 3, and 2.
These spells are never automatically known. They must be acquired from scrolls or spell books or through training with a magic-user. An electrum dragon must experiment with a written spell for some time in order to successfully modify if for entirely verbal casting. (Refer to the AD&D Monster Manual for aging and other details of dragon nature.)

Note: Unlike most of the other entries in the Dragons of the Flanaess I have included stats and abilities for different editions. I have done this because the original Brown Dragon as presented by Lenard Lakofka in The Dragon Magazine #38, which I base a Flanaess Brown Dragon on, were not replicated in later editions. The dragon was converted into a savage desert drake completely different from the original.

Brown Dragon Stat Blocks
Brown Dragons, also known as great forest dragons, or forest guardians, are flightless dragons. Brown Dragons find a forest to call their own and then spend their lives protecting it and the creatures that live. Once a Brown Dragon has selected a forest, they will remain there for the rest of their lives leaving only rarely to mate, and Brown Dragon will die in defense of their forest before fleeing. Unlike most other dragons, Brown Dragons live outside normal dragon society and do not recognize the draconic hierarchical caste system. They do not serve or worship Bahamut or Tiamat, instead believe in the Old Religion and the natural order of the universe.
Brown Dragons have a coloration that begins as a mix of dark green and brown in their infancy but transforms as they age into a deeper rich earth tone. Their scales are smaller than an average dragon and appear as hide until the observer is within ten to twenty feet.
Combat: Brown Dragons will avoid confronting trespassers into their forests whenever possible. They will follow and observe them, usually in the form of a woodland creature, to discern their intentions. If able, Brown Dragons will call on their fellow forest dwellers to aid in any attack in hopes of overwhelming their opponents quickly.
Brown Dragons will always open combat with a use of their Faerie Fire breath weapon. After which they will usually engage in melee combat using their claw and bite. Brown Dragons tend to save their Lightning breath for stronger and more elusive foes.
Habitat/Society: Brown Dragons live exclusively in forests or jungles. They will travel around in their youth until they have found a forest that suits them and is large enough to support them. When they find their forest, they will bond with it and from that day forward leave only to mate.
Brown Dragons will have a sacred glen or grove of trees where they sleep, meditate, and store their treasure. Treasure to a Brown Dragon are things of beauty and are fond of precious metals and gems for this reason, especially if they are fashioned into fine jewelry and trinkets. For this same reason, a Brown Dragon might include a bush of fragrant and pretty flowers in their treasure trove or sculptures and statues. The bulk of treasure found in a Brown Dragons hoard comes from those who entered the forest and intentionally harmed it or its inhabitants.
Ecology: Brown Dragons are omnivores but eat mostly plants and vegetation. Brown Dragons do not hunt the creatures of the forest they live in, but they will consume the carcass of forests inhabitants if found already dead. Many animals, when they feel their time is near, will seek out the dragon so that when they pass the forests protector can feed upon them. Brown Dragons will consume any humanoid, human, or demi-human that they are forced to kill in the defense of their forest.

​The Huntsman Class 2E
Ability Requirements:      Strength 12
                                        Wisdom 12
Prime Requisite:              Strength   
Allowed Races:                Human, Half-Elf, Half-Orc
A Huntsmen is a fighter that is specialized in finding prey. A Huntsman usually works as a bounty hunter finding criminals, or hunting monsters that are terrorizing communities. A Huntsman has excellent hunting skills and usually specializes in intelligent and big game hunting. Many Huntsman also plies their trade as bounty hunters as they are as adept at tracking prey in urban environments as they are in nature. 
 
A Huntsman, like Rangers, is adept at life in the wilderness and tracking but are not attuned to nature like a Ranger and gain no spells. Huntsmen are also not guardians of good vs. evil and are not compelled to take up arms against evil creatures outside of their alignment motivations. Their stock in trade is fighting and ambushing their prey.
 
A Huntsman must have a score of no less than 12 in both Strength and Wisdom. A Huntsman who has a Strength of 16 or higher and a Wisdom of 16 or higher receives a bonus of 10% to experience points earned. A Huntsman can be of any alignment but gravitate toward chaotic ones. 
 
Warrior Group: Huntsmen are considered part of the warrior group and receive the following guidelines.

• 1d10 Hit Points per level until 9th, then +3 Hit Points from level 10th to 20th.
• Huntsman's Saving Throw progression is the same as a warrior.
• Huntsmen gain multiple attacks like a warrior.

Tracking: Huntsmen are skilled woodsmen and trackers. Even if the optional proficiency rules are not used, the Huntsman has the tracking proficiency. If the proficiency is used, the Huntsmen knows tracking without expending any points. 

• The Huntsmen’s tracking improves at +1 for every three levels the Huntsmen earns. Unlike Rangers, Huntsmen do not halve their chance to track when in a non-natural or urban setting.

Weapons and Armor: A Huntsman can use any kind of weapon or wear armor, but several of their special abilities are usable only when he is wearing studded leather or lighter armor. 
Move Silently and Hide in Shadows: If wearing studded leather, elven chain, or light armor, the Huntsmen can move silently and hide in shadows. These skills are altered by the race of the character as per the chart below.
Ambush: While tracking down a target is one of the Huntsmen’s primary abilities, they prefer to take their prey unaware whenever possible. 

• Provided there is ample cover for a Huntsman to lay in wait for their prey, determined by the DM, and the Huntsman makes a successful Hide in Shadows check, the Huntsman can perform a normal attack at +4 to hit and damage before combat starts. This attack can be melee or missile. A Huntsman can only use this ability when they are by themselves or in the company of other Huntsmen.
• When in a group of non-Huntsmen, like a Huntsman's hunting party, the Huntsman can direct the others on how to remain hidden and undetectable. If the Huntsman makes a successful Hide in Shadows check, his group's chance of surprising others increases from 1-3 to 1-5.

Attracting a Hunting Party: At 10th level, a Huntsman attracts 2d6 followers to his hunting party. These followers will be like-minded humans and demi-humans who share the Huntsman’s passion for the outdoors and the hunting of prey. They are attracted by the thrill of the hunt and the wealth that can be earned by hunting monsters and collecting bounties.

Name: Pyndrtyruss, Topaz Dragon
Age: Venerable, 800+​

Description: Like all Topaz dragons, Pyndrtyruss has yellowish scales that sparkle in the sunlight. Unlike most Topaz dragons, Pyndrtyruss is known for his mirthless smile that he seems to continually wear.

Personality: Pyndrtyruss is well known throughout the Pearl Sea region as a wholly unpredictable and mischievous drake. While he is not a malevolent beast, most times, his temperament can change to one quickly. Unlike most Topaz dragons, Pyndrtyruss is not a recluse. He doesn't seek out others' company for cheerful banter but to bully and intimidate them. If those he has chosen to bully dare to not be terrified appropriately, he might just attack. 

While Pyndrtyruss can be ruthless, he is no fool. If at any time Pyndrtyruss feels that he has bitten off more than he can chew, he will flee. The older he has grown, however, the more confident he has become. Pyndrtyruss's attitude currently borders recklessness as he has not been truly challenged in over two hundred years.

Location: Pyndrtyruss has had many lairs throughout the Densac Gulf and Pearl Sea region from Hepmonaland to the Amedio jungles. Currently, his lair is on an island on the western side of Breekas Teeth.

Lair: Pyndrtyruss’ lair is located on a small island covered with thick jungle. The island itself is littered with the debris of ships that he has torn apart and deposited there. Treasure taken in tribute from ship captains paid for the dragon to leave them alone is absently scattered in heaps all over the island. 

In addition to the bits of boats and treasure lying about the island, there is a 20% chance of a random captive being on the island. Pyndrtyruss either terrorizes them or treats them like an honored guest. How Pyndrtyruss decides how these captives are to be treated is totally by whim. Some captives he will deliver to their freedom while others eventually join the remains of others that did not please him. Pyndrtyruss usually does not kill them outright but ignores them until they die of exposure or starvation. 

Relations: The Terror of the Pearl Sea, as Pyndrtyruss is known, has terrible relations with everyone that sails there. Merchants, the Scarlet Brotherhood, and pirates all despise Pyndrtyruss. The Scarlet Brotherhood so hates the drake that they had placed a 100,000 gold piece bounty on his head. To date, only a handful have been foolish enough to attempt to collect it, and all have died in the attempt.

History: Pyndrtyruss lived in the southern seas his entire life, but he was not always the terror he is today. In his younger days, Pyndrtyruss lived a typical secluded life like most Topaz dragons. He had lairs where he collected treasure to make a horde and enjoyed hunting and fishing the seas, especially giant squids. ​

This all changed in 322 CY when he had an almost lethal encounter with a turtle dragon off Ruja Isle. Pyndrtyruss barely escaped with his life, and after this encounter, his disposition took a sinister turn. He began attacking or terrorizing ships and creatures that he felt were easy prey. This behavior evolved into the unpredictable demeanor that he has today.
Unlike most dragons, Pyndrtyruss does not attack ships from the air but from the sea. A natural swimmer that can breathe water as easily as air, Pyndrtyruss will submerge and approach ships undetected for below. Depending on his mood, he might simply bang on the vessel to give the sailors a good scare. He might use his claws to puncture the hull but leave it intact or ravage it completely to let it sink. 

Pyndrtyruss is also known to land on larger ships' decks and frighten the crew for a few hours. During these visits, he might simply wish to chat and exchange stories. How he is treated, of course, can influence how things will play out. Treating the drake with respect and flattery does not seem to work as well as visible terror.

Adventure Hooks: Adventurers sailing in the Pearl Sea could run into Pyndrtyruss as he terrorizes their ship. Players could also be looking for Pyndrtyruss’ island and his unprotected horde. There are plenty of reports of its whereabouts from the handful of captives that he has simply let go. Suppose the players are of high enough level to hunt a dragon of Pyndrtyruss’ power. In that case, they could be hired to do so by kingdoms and organizations, including the Scarlet Brotherhood. 

​Name: Margonauth, Sapphire Dragon
Age: Very Old, 700+
Description: Margonauth is a majestic looking dragon with dark blue scales covering her back, neck, and tail with a lighter blue underside color. Her distinct coloring has helped those who are educated about dragons to differentiate her from chromatic blue dragons. Like all sapphire dragons, Margonauth sparkles when in direct light.
 
Personality: Margonauth, the mother of insects, as she is known, is more reclusive than most sapphire dragons. She enjoys interacting with other intelligent creatures, but she prefers her insect pets over them. Giant subterranean millipedes, glow bugs, and beetles make up most of her pets, but she also has clusters of giant spiders to feed on. Margonauth treats her insects like family and is very protective of them. Those who do speak with Margonauth soon realize that there is something a little off about her. One adventurer likened her to his crazy aunt, who lived with fifty cats, except Margonauth has thousands of giant insects. 
 
Location: Margonauth has lived under the Crystalmist Mountains in caverns adjoining the Passage of Selrotin since becoming an adult dragon. Her territory lies just south of the lost Suel tribe of the Lerara. Her domain was initially contested by the Lerara and, to a lesser degree, the Drow. But over the centuries since she moved into the neighborhood, the hostility between them has subsided.
 
Lair: Margonauth’s lair is a vast network of tunnels and caverns, many of which are far too small for her to navigate but are used by her pets. The tunnels and caverns of her lair are home to thousands of insects of all shapes and sizes. Over the centuries, she has even learned how to communicate with them through magical means and by imitating their clicking and hissing forms of communication. 
 
At the center of Margonauth’s lair is a vast cavern where her horde is stored along the shores of a small subterranean lake. This cavern is also home to colonies of her insect pets.

​Relations: Besides the insects, Margonauth raises she also trades and deals with the Lerara and even the Drow. She provides them with precious gems and ore in exchange for trinkets and jewelry to add to her horde. She often dresses up her favorite insects with jewelry. It is not uncommon to find a giant beetle or millipede in the caverns with necklaces or rings adorning them. 
 
As long as visitors do not harm her pets and abide by her rules, Margonauth welcomes all into her domain. Besides the occasional Lerara and Drow that come to trade, the only visitors she has are the rare adventuring band. Margonauth is keen to seek out these adventurers on the rare occasions that they cross through her domain for news of the outside world. She will invite them to a meal of cavern fungi, choice insects eggs, and bug juice.
 
Margonauth herself doesn’t move about the passages and caverns of the Passage of Selrotin, but her pets do. These insects act as her eyes and ears, alerting her to any activity. They also spy on the Drow and Lerara for her.
 
History: Margonauth has become a mainstay in the region, much to the chagrin of the Drow and the Lerara. Both of whom would like to see the dragon gone as neither are comfortable with such a possible threat living so close. The Drow and the Lerara both lust for the wealth rumored to be stockpiled in the drake’s lair.
 
Initially, Margonauth moved into the area because she had found a fascinating colony of giant beetles there. She soon found unique Glow Bugs as well, which are a variation of wingless fireflies. Glow Bugs can grow up to a foot long and are prized among the Lerara for their abdomens' phosphorescent fluid. Margonauth's favorite insects are the giant armored millipedes, which she allows to crawl all over her like a house cat. In addition to her giant pets, Margonauth studies many other species of insects native to the passage.
 
However, the older Margonauth gets, the more her desire to change the Passage's chaos as she sees it into a more orderly environment that she can live in harmony with her pets. In her opinion, the insects are far more orderly and far less destructive than the Drow and the Lerara.
 
Adventure Hooks: Adventurers that use the Passage of Selrotin will come to Margonauth's attention through her spies. And unless she deems them as overly hostile, she will send them an invite to visit. Margonauth might also wish to hire the adventurers to perform a task her pets cannot, most likely concerning her neighbors, the Lerara or the Drow. The Lerara are frequently guilty of killing her pets to turn into armor and other tools, a transgression that they would need to be punished for.
