There’s A LOT of small details. I’m terrible at taking pictures and they don’t do it justice!

The Story: After the Dragon Wars, the few remaining dragons retreated to the islands that spawned from the blood of their dead god Io, who sacrificed his own life to save his children. They live in an isolationist, samurai-esque society populated by Dragonfolk who serve mighty dragon shoguns. Sanctuary, a neutral Druidic Circle that retreated from the world, has taken a vow to protect the few dragon eggs that exist and work closely with the shoguns of the Blood Isles to hatch new dragons into the world.

Hatchling Bay, a small island off the coast of Sanctuary, is one of many secret locations that house several clutches of dragon eggs. Tended to by warrior monks, the Bay holds many secrets; including a sacred hot spring used to hatch the wyrmlings. Unfortunately, not all of the dragons who survived have given up on the war. The dreaded Redwing the Pirate King is one such dragon. As his name suggests, this mighty Wyrm commands a small army of pirates that terrorize the high seas.

After discovering the location of Hatchling Bay, Redwing dispatched his best crew to sack the island and retrieve the dragon eggs being held there. Try as they might, the monks were unable to fend off the pirates and were brutally slaughtered, but not before the eldest monk managed to activate a powerful spell that locked all of the eggs into the Pagodas and put them into a state of suspended animation. Now the pirates have to figure out how to lift the spell or face the wrath of their dreaded king.

When correspondence from the Bay stopped, Sanctuary sent a powerful Druid to investigate. After crashing on its rocky shore, the Druid has taken up lodging inside the hidden cave that contains the hot spring, working closely with the water elemental that guards it… along with his faithful canine companion! Will the players be able to stop the pirates and prevent Redwing from building an army of evil dragons?
