Campaign Setting: Dragons Unleashed
Here There Be Dragons
Dragons have always been a cornerstone of sword and
sorcery fantasy. Cultures across Earth have myths about
dragons, and in the history of fantasy roleplaying games,
dragons have always had a prominent role.
For adventurers, dragons have served roles both as quest-
givers and as subjects of epic quests themselves. Known for
hoarding gold and other treasures, kidnapping important
figures to draw out adventurers, and wielding primordial
magic beyond the ken of humanity, dragons secure their
place in the world as powerful and obvious threats.
The most well-known types of true dragons are
divided between good and evil, a distinction made
visually apparent by the hue of their scales. The
chromatic dragons are driven by cruelty, manipulation,
and an undying desire for greater power, while the
metallic dragons seek to put down the threats of their
chromatic cousins, protect humanoid society, and
spread goodness throughout the world. In addition to
these two types of true dragons are the primal dragons
and imperial dragons. Primal dragons have ties to the
elemental planes and the Plane of Shadow, tend to skew
toward neutrality, and are generally unconcerned with
the morality of humanoids. Imperial dragons run the
gamut of alignments and consider themselves guardians
of their native lands.
Aside from true dragons, a multitude of other draconic
creatures populate the world. The f ierce and deadly
linnorms, various types of drakes, the great winged
wyverns, the whimsical faerie dragons and pseudodragons,
the cruel and deceitful azi, and the wicked undead raveners
all serve as ref lections of true dragons’ might and power.
This book explores 15 dragons whose schemes or
protection have affected various parts of Golarion. Each
dragon’s entry in this book delves into its lair, sorts
through its hoard, and tells the majestic creature’s
background and motivations.

list includes many of the other dragons that can be found—

Lady Tula Belhaim killed this great wyrm
black dragon centuries ago in central Taldor. The beast

Gifted with the transformation into a
ravener by the Demon Lord Haagenti, this former blue
dragon terrorizes the Barrier Wall and its environs.

Though she lairs in the Hungry Mountains,
this wyrm blue dragon was last seen in the Kodar Mountains
investigating the Thassilonian ruin of Guiltspur.
Celestial Dragon:
Acting as a divine leader to the people
of Quain in Tian-Xia, this unique and powerful imperial

into granting him hunting rights to his land, only to
turn around and engage in wholesale slaughter of the

Rumored to be the lover of Flauros, the
demon lord of f ire, salamanders, and volcanoes, this
great wyrm red dragon lives in a f iery lake in the Abyss.

Dwelling in the Menador Mountains, this
umbral dragon feeds on the shadows and other undead in
the area, but the sinister creature isn’t above eating any
mortal travelers who pass his way.

This umbral dragon is paid tribute by the
church of Pharasma to hunt undead in the Mana Wastes
and Nex.
Glarataxus:
This red dragon has threatened Korvosa
and the surrounding area for the last few hundred years,
but has thankfully been silent for the last 40 years.

Kedretitas:
This umbral dragon lives in the Vale of
Shadows in the Five Kings Mountains, guarding one of
