The Dragon's Hoard

“The Dragon’s Hoard” tells of the Flamebringer Dragon taking a nap in one of the Worldshaper Worm’s valleys. The heat from the dragon’s body caused nearby pebbles to begin to glow with a golden light, and this enraged the worm, who shaped the hills around the dragon to entomb it in earth. When the dragon awoke, it was in a cave surrounded by golden trinkets, with no way out. The Flamebringer Dragon erupted in flame and burst from the earth, bringing with it melted earth that brought destruction for miles in all directions. This story explains why dragons like to sleep in caves, sit on hoards of golden coins, and where volcanoes come from.
