Legend says that far upon Mitra mountain, a lone flower grows, nestled at the apex and towering like a god. Information about its magic is unknown to almost everyone. Only the dwarven Lords of the Mountain know the truth of its mysterious secrets. The dwarves from Mitra Mountain occasionally send out brave souls in an attempt to harvest its priceless petals with the promise of great riches upon return. Throughout history, countless have sacrificed everything to reach the legendary Dragon Flower, but none have ever returned.
The Hymn of the Dragon Flower is an honored poem dedicated to the Dragon Flower, but mostly is misunderstood by today’s bards. The superstitious believe the hymn to be true, but most common folk see it as only a tall tale. The truth is kept only by the Lords of the Mountain and passed down through the generations. As it was their ancestors who wrote the hymn to a beautiful song said to be carried on the wind after the flowers first bloom. Audible now only to dwarven ears.
Now the dwarves are facing the coldest winter in decades, and the Dragon Flower has bloomed for the first time in almost a thousand years.
Since the blooming, dense pollen fall from the sky and dusts everything within miles of the mountain. Many of the elder Dwarven Lords claim the Dragon Flower’s song is in the air. But Baldin the Wise, king of the Dwarves of Mitra, is tired of sacrificing his own men for this cause, and now he seeks outside help in his quest to acquire the rare blooming leaves of the Dragon Flower.
Fulfillment of the Hymn of the Dragon Flower print version will be handled by DriveThruRPG. When the Print-On-Demand book is ready, you will receive a print code that allows you to purchase the printed book at cost. In addition to the printing costs, you will be responsible for shipping.
