Lair of the Black Queen

Beneath the scorched earth yawns a cavern where the Broodmother of the Black Dragons guards her clutch. Fissures bleed with molten lava, the floor is paved with the charred bones of heroes who came before you, and dragon eggs slumber along the edges of the lair. There are no winding corridors here—only her, the dark, and three waves of her fury. One battle, one legend, one chance.
