The Silver That Burned

A silver dragon that has protected the valley kingdom for centuries has suddenly turned on the land it once guarded, destroying a distant hamlet three nights ago. Fearing the worst, the local rulers send a small band of adventurers to the mountain peaks to discover what has changed the dragon’s behavior and to deal with the threat if necessary. Survivors’ accounts are inconsistent, but all agree on a couple of unsettling details: the dragon they saw did not move or fight as it once did, its motion described as rigid and unnatural, as though its great body no longer flowed through the air with living grace. Its breath weapon burned with searing, fire-like energy rather than the expected frost, leaving behind scorched ruins instead of ice. Some even describe a harsh metallic sound in the sky and a strange light accompanying its attacks, as though something unnatural followed in its wake. As the party ascends into the mountains, it becomes clear that whatever has altered the dragon is not a natural corruption—and the truth behind it may lie far beyond anything this world was meant to contain.
