There is a curious rumor among
naturalists. In the corrupted
biomes of the Defiled Lands live
creatures said to be distant
relatives of true dragons.

Through careful breeding, these
creatures may very rarely produce
an unusual golden individual.

Old field notes claim that these
golden relatives have a strange
connection to a far greater beast:
the Gold Dragon. Golden specimens
have occasionally been associated
with the appearance of a genuine
Gold Dragon Egg.

The exact reason remains unclear.
Bloodline, accumulated magic, and
the enchanted books these creatures
consume may all play some part in
this extraordinary occurrence.
