Possibly, as in Ashardalon’s case, even run afoul of one another and be destroyed. I can’t fathom why the entry for FR doesn’t even touch on Tyranny of Dragons.įinally, dragonsight: an idea that some dragons connect with their selves on other Material worlds – that there’s an Ashardalon echo on many worlds, and they can interact. It’s a lot to get into here, but it shows a motivation other than because she’s Eeevil for her clashes with Bahamut and the other gods, while at the same time Bahamut isn’t really trying to fight her.įour settings get pride of place for a discussion of how Bahamut, Tiamat, and the Elegy for the First World: Forgotten Realms, Greyhawk (Io gets name-checked here), Dragonlance (canon change: Paladine really is Bahamut, Takhisis really is Tiamat, even and especially where this creates baffling contradictions), and Eberron (where Siberys, Eberron, and Khyber take some explaining).
I also like the angle this takes on Tiamat and her relationship to Bahamut. Sardior’s shattering may have been the same moment as the shattering of the First World. Sardior is dead and shattered, but their (the text is phrased to avoid using any pronoun for Sardior) shards became gem dragons, and the gem dragons now work to reconstitute Sardior. I’ll probably get into this as we go, but Sardior is one of my favorite things in all of the lore here. We’ve seen references to the First World going back to Tasha’s Cauldron of Everything, but this expands on that lore with Bahamut, Takhisis, and their firstborn offspring Sardior the Ruby Dragon. It’s a high-level overview of multiversal draconic mythology: D&D has decided that if they’re going to make dragons half of the title, they can be the unifying through-line of all these Material Plane worlds. The introductory chapter is short but electrifying. Hot damn that cover art, the limited cover especially. Which is to say, I received a review copy of Fizban’s, I’m reviewing it here, and I can’t even pretend that I’ll get through this in one article.
He isn’t working alone – there’s a whole cabal of wizards backing him up, along with some top-tier mercenaries they hired for the job.
Someone (James Wyatt) has dragons on his mind, and we need to get to the bottom of this. So there I was, raiding a wizard’s library as one does, and I found this book labeled For Review.
