description: 'Gold dragons are the epitome of metallic dragonkind, unrivaled in their
|
|
strength as well as their wisdom. They command the unwavering reverence of all other
|
|
metallic dragons, who view gold dragons as their leaders and counselors. Golds rival
|
|
the raw power of even red dragons, much to the chagrin of their chromatic cousins,
|
|
and the two races are often regarded as bitter rivals. But despite their incredible
|
|
power, gold dragons are fond of discourse and prefer to talk through solutions to
|
|
problems rather than rely upon brute strength. Long-lived as they are, they necessarily
|
|
take a wide view of all situations and never act without considering all possible
|
|
options and outcomes. Because of this, gold dragons willingly converse with any
|
|
creature that seeks them out, even evil chromatic dragons. Mortals might find this
|
|
behavior strange, considering the longstanding war between chromatic and metallic
|
|
dragons, but dragons know all too well that desperate situations sometimes call
|
|
for drastic alliances. And although gold dragons might consider brief truces with
|
|
their chromatic brethren in the case of world-ending threats, they also know when
|
|
such alliances have run their course.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When another metallic dragon faces a quandary or a foe beyond its own ability to
|
|
overcome, its best option is often to seek the counsel of the eternally wise and
|
|
gloriously righteous gold dragons. Locating these legendary beings is no easy task,
|
|
however, for gold dragons are notoriously reclusive. Their intellect and wisdom
|
|
is such that they prefer to ponder the great questions of life in seclusion, where
|
|
they strive to formulate solutions to the world''s most pressing problems. As a
|
|
result, gold dragons are sometimes absent when metallic dragons gather together,
|
|
or are missing from tribunals where their counsel would be beneficial. Impatient
|
|
dragons sometimes begrudge gold dragons for this apparent unreliability, but such
|
|
aspersions are usually a result of jealousy rather than any true criticism; in their
|
|
hearts, other dragons know that few gold dragons purposefully exclude themselves
|
|
from truly important matters.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A gold dragon''s incredible foresight and unparalleled enlightenment means they
|
|
are unlikely to interfere in the business of individual mortals, though the rare
|
|
person who captures the attention of a gold dragon is fortunate indeed, for there
|
|
are few beings in the cosmos who can offer such prudent and considerate advice.
|
|
Rulers and individuals in stations of high power have an easier time of garnering
|
|
the aid of a gold dragon; entire wars have been avoided thanks to a gold dragon''s
|
|
last-minute intermediation.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Gold dragons are often found in warm grasslands and savannas, lands where they can
|
|
enjoy long, meditative flights without attracting the attention of potential enemies.
|
|
They tend to sleep either out in the open in a barren, remote place, or within a
|
|
heavily secreted or fortified lair, such as a forgotten sink hole or in the labyrinthine
|
|
caverns of a terrestrial chasm. Gold dragons may enlist trusted servants and allies
|
|
to guard their lairs, though many live truly solitary lives, preferring to protect
|
|
their hoards with nonlethal traps and magical wards.
