Dragonspire

The red dragon Bezzalt has lived in this conical-shaped hill within the Duskmoon Hills for centuries. Although he covets Endhome’s riches, the shrewd monster fears the Wizard Academy’s tremendous magical might. For this reason, he always heads north when he ventures out of his lair to hunt. On those rare occasions when he leaves his treasure behind, the massive beast leaves his home through a 30-foot-wide flue that extends from the top of his cave. A natural angled lid on top of the flue keeps water and snow from penetrating into his abode. Seventy-five years ago, a contingent of industrious dwarven miners and thieves attempted to circumvent the stronghold’s lone access point by boring a tunnel into the hill’s eastern face. However, the greedy burglars came to blows over how to divvy up Bezzalt’s treasure hoard. The wild fight left several of them dead and forced the group to abandon the endeavor before they could complete the passage. No one has mounted a serious expedition to Dragonspire since the dwarves’ aborted attempt. Adventurers contemplating a trek to the locale frequently hear rumors about the dragon’s purported minions, which include a fire giant, an efreet, or an elemental being wreathed in flames.
