Lore of the realms

[vulpex]

Since we have such excellent info about gods and dragons, would it be great to have also that of different realms. Dragonwall, Tuigan horde, Matztika, there is a loads of interesting things to tell to those who are not so knowledgeable about things.
All respect to background material provided, it is very good and i much enjoy it all.

Without looking, i think that the dragonwall is in the endless waste and it seperates mainland faerun with kara-tur no?

The tuigan hoard was a military campaign that took place, and information on Maztica is rare and hard to come across. WotC simply just stopped pumping info out on it apparently

But there is a geography thread I made, found here:

I can say this much, I do at least have plans to include all of the Lung Dragons from Oriental Adventures/Kara-Tur in the Draconomicon of FRC Threads.

They're on the list, just a ways down it from where I am now. I am less than halfway through the planned content for the subboard right now. I have barely scratched the surface on lesser dragons as I have only included a few specific to Faerun, and the two lesser epic wyrms.

It's been a learning experience for me to research all these dragons, I knew there were a lot...just didn't know there were quite as many as I have managed to dig up. I just realised there are four or five more gem dragons out there somewhere that I need to track down (the subpsionic dragons).

Should make a thread for known dungeons after that dragons one...and then we'd like, have a Dungeons...and Dragons...board....NYUCK NYUCK

The Dragonwall is actually a wall much as China has the Great Wall.

"According to legend, a wu jen wizard was tasked by the emperor to find a way to keep the Tuigan hordes from raiding Shou Lung's northern provinces. The wu jen stole the Jade Mirror from the sea dragon Pao Hu Jen, whose body was thousands of kilometers long. The wu jen led the dragon on a chase along the border, and at a certain point stopped and held up the Jade Mirror to the dragon's eyes, which instantly turned him to stone. After his petrified body fell to the ground, the emperor had his engineers carve fortifications into it so that it could serve them as a defensive wall."

So there you go, the Dragonwall is actually a wall from a Dragon which separates the Tuigan plains from the Shou Lung empire.

Incidentally there was a trilogy written on the Tuigans, which the second book was entitled "Dragonwall". I haven't read them but they're hard to track down here also.
