Dragonfire Castle Ruins

Castle ruins with a subterranean complex. (setting for Dragonquest game)

Courageous (or foolish) heroes often attempt to brave the legendary dangers of Dragonfire Dungeon. Fortune awaits those able to venture into the dragon’s lair...

Legends say that the doors of Dragonfire Dungeon open every sunrise, welcoming brave adventurers into its depths. But once the sun sets, the doors close and seal the fates of those who lingered too long. Only a few have ever returned from Dragonfire Dungeon, and those who have usually come back near death. But they return as heroes nonetheless.

Heroes must guide their heroes through the twisting halls of Dragonfire Dungeon in pursuit of unimaginable riches hoarded by the Dragonlord Kalladra. Whoever can amass the most wealth and make it out of the dungeon before the closing of the doors seals their doom will emerge victorious. However, merely surviving the harrowing dungeon is a feat all its own...

It should be noted, that Kalladra usually wins, and the vast majority of those entering the complex are never seen alive again. However, those who have made it out with a bit of the dragon's treasure certainly have a tale to brag about. The place is filled with traps, and the rarer few who have entered it more than once, claim that even the paths and walls have completely changed somehow, so maps are useless.

Of course, one can't ignore that the trip to the location itself is full of danger, as it lies within draconic territory. Still, it seems many dragons are wise to Kalladra's deal, and seem to be content to recognize this dragonlord's territory.
