Sleeping Dragon

The Sleeping Dragon was a megalith about twenty feet (six meters) long and almost ten feet (three meters) thick, with rounded edges that made it resemble a giant stone potato floating horizontally ten feet (three meters) off the ground. Its vaguely ovoid shape gave it a fanciful reputation around the North as being a dragon's egg, and thus, a "sleeping dragon". The stone was dark in color and did not match any local formations. Its surface was boldly carved with abstract curves and swirls, sometimes to a depth of about a foot (thirty centimeters). These designs concealed three hatches that opened with carefully applied pressure in particular directions. The patterns that hid the access points were known by nicknames: the Wink, Darkhole, and the Wizard's Door. There was a fourth bas-relief that was known as the Splendor, but it had other unusual properties rather than being a hidden door.
