I'd run across a workup of a list of Dragon NPCs on the WotC site a week or so ago and now I cannot for the life of me find it. The Google isn't helping and I'm not seeing it in the archives...

It was a workup of a bunch of named Dragons from Faerun IIRC. The one I was looking at was a Copper Dragon (I think?) who took care of a pet Noble House of Waterdeep via scrying through mirrors. The article mentions the Plane of Mirrors was how I found it the first time.

Does the Playground know what I'm half remembering here and where it might be found?

Sounds like you were looking at the Roll Call of Dragons (https://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/we/20060913a), one of the web enhancements from Dragons of Faerun.

The list of Noble Houses from Waterdeep is the first web enhancement (https://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/we/20050928a) for City of Splendors Waterdeep.

You might need either or both of the actual books for more information on that particular dragon and particular noble house though.

No, those don't look like what I'm remembering.
What I had found was a very lore heavy workup of a bunch of named dragons. I know I've read the workup for at least one Shadow or Deep dragon and another of this mirror obsessed copper.

It seemed like they were updates to previous publications of these dragons to me. There was a statblock for the dragon in the article but it was a long rambling page filled with personal lore for the dragon in question...

So irritating that I didn't bookmark it like I usually would. :smallmad:

Then maybe it was this Wyrms of the North article (https://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/wn/20041201a)?

Sounds more like what you are describing. I believe the dragon you are looking for is a bronze dragon named Nymmurh (https://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/wn/20030827a).

Hahaaa! That's exactly what I was looking for!

Thank you dysprosium! You've saved the day and my campaign arc!

More seriously, an honest and heartfelt thank you for your assistance.

Not sure why my Google refused to bring this up. There really shouldn't be that many 'dragon+ Waterdeep+ mirror' pages out there. :smallmad:

Thanks again.

No problem. Glad I was able to help. I've used that particular list of dragons before in my own campaigns. Very helpful when your group in Faerun decides to go dragonslaying.

And I've been following your Plane of Mirrors threads since they sound like there are plenty of cool ideas in there (to steal of course . . . )

Looking at the list from DoF, it even lists dead dragons that aren't relevant to the setting anymore. That setting needs an actual continuity reboot, not just the stuff WotC keeps doing to it. Seriously no setting should have 13 pages worth of a book dedicated to NPCs when a massive number of them are dead.

Maybe, it's been my experience that there are a lot of lore-based groups out there who play in their favorite setting's past rather than it's present.

And it's not like the superheroes dead never return to life in comicbooks Faerun either.

Presumably most of them have been dead long enough that nothing short of deific intervention can bring them back.

Which, given Faerun's history, would happen with startling frequency unless Bahamut and Tiamat don't want it to.
