There's an "official" Dragon in the Rain Serpent Mts? If so I change my vote.

A Dragon for DRAGON
Greetings,
I just wanted to thrown in my GBs for a write up of Swampsblood. I've
always loved Black Dragons, and I would hope even a Cerilian Dragon who
lairs in swamps would be of the acid-spitting variety. :-)

I would defintily like to see something more about Vore Lenninsky, my
current favorite dragon.
- - what are his aims.
- - why did he wake up, was it normal or did someone stumble into his
lair.
- - how do Cerilian dragons control source holdings
that sort of thing.

No, swamps constitute 0/8 level provinces; ie a source max in a swamp
terrain province is 8.

Something what I would like to se in Cerilia would be unintelligent dragons,
animals which resembles of dragons. They may be a bit smaller, have a much
weeker breathweapon, no spell use, don't speak any language, don't collect
treasure (treasure which can be found should only be things their food
happened to carry with them).
If there would have been dragonriders, they would have used thise
unintelligent dragons as they are so much easier to master than a real dragon,
but they are still quite dangerous for the dragon riders.
IMO this kind of anmilas are missing in AD&D.

On the subject of the almost-a-dragons, look in the MONSTEROUS MANUAL
under Lizard, Fire and you'll see that they "resemble wingless red
dragons and are sometimes called 'false dragons.'" Also, though small,
Firedrakes and Pseudodragons could fall under this heading. In the
Rjurik Highlands, some of the less powerful Linnorm Dragons from the 1st
MONSTEROUS COMPENDIUM Annual might be useful.
That book also contains the Foulwing and the Gorynych (both originally
from DRAGON Magazine). In the 3rd MONSTEROUS COMPENDIUM Annual, there's
the Scalamagdrion (though they may be native to FR or Grayhawk, I'm not
sure) and Giant Striders (though that stretching it).

IMO this would be just as bad as having too much magic or high level
PC/NPCs; I would rather that fantastic monsters/species (and spin-offs
of such) are limited & *rare*, keeping in flavour with the feel of the
BR milieu.

Persoanally I'm quite happy with the rarity of Dragons within Cerilia.
However, what I'd like to see in the Dragon article is a _dumb_ Dragon.
One who doesn't have hugely convoluted plots and schemes (or tries to
and fails), but just flies around and eats people (preferably virgin
princesses :).
I'm a bit disheartened by all these ubercunning dragons that are in the
air (pun intentional) at the moment. To continue with todays theme of
Realms bashing, what is it with the Wyrms of the North feature in
Dragon? Do any of these Dragons have normal abilities? Or are they all
shit hot spell casters? Can a 'normal' dragon just not hack it in the
Realms? Bleargh!

I recommend doing a thing on the Dragon (in command of dozens of source
holdings in Grabentod, Drachenward, Gnoll Fells and possibly some other places
you've written about).
Second choice vote would be doing Vore Leninskiy from your TotHW recent game
expansion.
I would be great to see some Cerilia-style dragon magic...(I love to terrify
PCs!)

Actually, all Cerilian dragons' breath weapon is actually burning acid. Hey,
you were closer to Black Dragon than you though! ;)
