Dragon's Rest
Where steel meets scale, and the ancient sleepers dream of fire.
Dragon's Rest is a location within the Iron Prince universe. It is a place where ancient dragons lay down their lives or slumber in eternal dormancy. It functions as both a graveyard and a repository of arcane knowledge. For adventurers, it is a high-risk zone filled with remnants of dragon power that can be harvested for crafting.
Lore & Background
In the lore of Iron Prince, Dragon's Rest is said to be a place chosen by the First Wyrm before the age of iron began. It is not merely a burial ground but a sacred site where the essence of dragons seeps into the earth, strengthening the local stone and metal. The location holds significance for the protagonist, as it is rumored that powerful artifacts can be forged using materials recovered from this hallowed ground. Legends speak of guardians who watch over the sleeping leviathans, ensuring that no living soul disturbs their rest unless they bear a mark of ancient approval. Over time, scavengers and rogue mages have attempted to plunder the site, leading to a landscape littered with the bones of failed intruders alongside the majestic skeletons of the dragons themselves.
Reader's Guide
Dragon's Rest serves as a pivotal mid-to-late game zone where players can access high-tier crafting materials.

Players should prioritize stealth over combat here to avoid triggering alarms that attract lesser drakes or guardians. The location is essential for progression in the Iron Prince storyline, offering clues about the origin of the kingdom's iron and the true nature of the dragon threat facing the realm.
