A sampling of the Oroboroi in whole<br />

can be found in the Introduction; it’s a<br />

good section to check before planning a<br />

<strong>Dragon</strong>: <strong>The</strong> <strong>Embers</strong> game.<br />

Chapter One explores what is<br />

means to be a <strong>Dragon</strong>, from history to<br />

society to threats to Provinces.<br />

To make use of the storyteller system<br />

and craft a member of the Oroboroi, go to<br />

Chapter Two. It details all the physical<br />

traits a <strong>Dragon</strong> can incorporate into her True<br />

Form, as well as the mysterious powers<br />

Philosophies grant her.<br />

Chapter Three covers mechanics<br />

exclusive to <strong>Dragon</strong>s, from assuming<br />

Oroboroi traits to Caloric requirements of<br />

the Furnace to the conditions of death and<br />

resurrection. This chapter also covers the<br />

function of the <strong>Dragon</strong> Code of Ethics (their<br />

alternative to Morality), as well as special<br />

wound penalty mechanics new to this<br />

template.<br />

Story and setting swatches are the<br />

focus of Chapter 4, which provides a range<br />

of different story seeds for basing a<br />

chronicle. This chapter also delves further<br />

into the various antagonists a <strong>Dragon</strong> might<br />

face.<br />

In Appendix One the Dreamtide is<br />

discussed in detail. (We haven’t done this<br />

appendix yet, so we can’t summarize it)<br />

Finally Appendix Two covers the<br />

setting of San Francisco, California. (We<br />

haven’t done this appendix yet, so we can’t<br />

summarize it)<br />

Sources Sources and and Inspiration<br />

Inspiration<br />

<strong>Dragon</strong>s in a modern setting are somewhat a<br />

new localization of the classic myth. As of<br />

yet they have been inescapably tied to<br />

fantasy. An unfortunate side effect of this is<br />

a general lack of sources for a modern<br />

<strong>Dragon</strong> story. You can use your<br />

preconceptions about <strong>Dragon</strong>s from their<br />

fictional appearances as a source of<br />

information, but incorporating them into the<br />

setting will be a challenge only your<br />

imagination can face. As such, no<br />

recommended sources will be provided.
