Introduction

“Before the fall of the gods and the rise of the Demon Horde, there was an age of dragons. And unto this came the Dragon Lords, six gods amongst the nations who did battle for supremacy over the Lands of Agondar. Only one stood victorious, the Great Dragon Aralla. For a thousand years she reigned unopposed, protecting her people and her dominion. Now, a dark mage known as Xanthias has raised an army and conquered Aralla. He has imprisoned her beneath the mound of her very throne. Yet hope remains. There are those who resist Xanthias and would fight to see Aralla set free, and her dominion restored.”

--From the Annals of Agondar



DRAGON LORDS is a 1d20 based RPG set in the fantasy/sci-fi realm of Agondar on the distant planet of Zo’ras during a time of upheaval and chaos. In this universe the teaching of magic is outlawed and those who wish to practice it must seek out Mage Artists to have spells tattooed on their flesh, giving rise to Mage Hunters who sell tattoos on the black market. But there is another kind of magic from the stars! 


In Agondar dragons are sacred and each nation was once governed by Dragon Lords. But now an ancient and mysterious wizard has conquered the realm and subjugated all dragons, crowning himself Supreme Dragon Lord. 


Here there be dragons, yes. But this is a strange world with threats from the outer reaches of space and the pit of Hell itself, with Agondar as the battleground. 


What You Need to Play

Part Two: How To Play

It should be stressed here that what follows in this section are game mechanics and not rules. After a time of playing the game if you want to make changes to your gameplay which you and your group agree on, that is perfectly acceptable.  THE ROLE OF THE  DRAGON MASTER Historically the earliest modern-day Tabletop Role Playing Games were governed over by a game referee. They had more to do with battlefield tactics than roleplay. With the introduction of Dungeons & Dragons to the open market so was the title Dungeon Master. And the market has been flooded with RPGs ever since. The DM designs or “writes” seasons and single adventures called episodes. They play the parts of NPCs (non-player characters), and the opponents you face in battle. In short, they do everything PCs (Player Characters) need for a fun  and challenging game session. Your group of players will need to pick a DM who understands their responsibility.  An RPG adventure has the potential to go on as long as everyone i
