    I like Dragons in Shadowrun. Their “power behind the power” thing can make for interesting plot twists. My crew did a run to steal an artifact from a Fourth World ruin in Salish, Indiana Jones style. We suspected we were hired by Tairngir, but it turned out our employer was Hestaby herself and she wanted to keep the artifact *away* from Tairngir because it had some kind of effect on the Astral Plane.

  • @wolffang489
    @wolffang489 ปีที่แล้ว +21

    From my understanding the egg theft thing is a lot more significant than just kidnapping. Dragon type isn't determined by genealogy but rather by where the egg hatches and who does the hatching. There's only one Great Sea Dragon and Rhonabwy is contributing to that even if/when they hatch under his care.

  • @ervvmuller6020

    Dunkelzahn s name is older than the modern world. He was around in Barsave (Earth Dawn)--> wichs is basically modern Ukraine. That was around 10.000 BC. At that time Dunkelzahn was the name he used when disguising as the human servant of himself "the Dragon". Actually, the dragons were quite pissed that Dunkelzahn revealed to the world that dragons can change into Humans basically for a PR stunt.

    I love these shadowrun videos. For such a popular game, it's weird how there isn't a big shadowrun lore channel yet.

  • @jonaskollinger3676
    @jonaskollinger3676 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    "and somehow they don't control the world" YES! thats where I went different with my setting. They absolutely rule the world :D

  • @DarrylCross
    @DarrylCross ปีที่แล้ว +5

    So basically the reason hyper-intelligent and super powerful sapient dragons don't rule any world their part of can fall under some mix of these categories:
    1. They are not all on the same page and have varied interests and goals that sometimes run counter to each other and thus these powerful creatures create a bit of a counter-balance to one another. If one starts getting to powerful and influential, he'll find his rivals have started banding together to keep him in check.
    2. They simply don't care to run the world - outside of maybe having a small holding, their concerns extend well beyond the confines of the mortal world. Running the world would just be taking time and attention away from the things that they really do care about. The dragons' minds are completely other to us, so they don't necessarily care about the things that we might if we had their power.
    3. They DO run the world (or large portions of it), but just not in a heavy-handed sort of way. Instead they just appoint lieutenants and form hierarchies that take care of the day-to-day things that frees them up from the minutia of it all and really only ever get involved when something critically needs their direct attention. Otherwise most people simply may never even realize that everything has a dragon somewhere pulling the strings.
    Seems that SR kind of has a healthy mix of these three approaches.

  • @Ralndrath
    @Ralndrath 5 ปีที่แล้ว +30

    I'm considering having sapient dragons of a sort in my fantasy/diesel punk setting. My world's version of trolls would be a sub-species of dragon which were forced to evolve in another direction after they got stuck underground for millennia.

    • @TheBurgerkrieg
      @TheBurgerkrieg  5 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      That might be an interesting take on things. Trolls tend to vary wildly in different settings.

    • @yuin3320
      @yuin3320 ปีที่แล้ว

      Idk if it was intentional or not but I'd say that works, considering Troll used to be a catch-all term for supernatural threats,

    Man, I felt that comment about nobody knowing about the sea dragons/leviathans. I've played since the late 80's on first edition and I had no idea.
    Also, I had a giggle at "Showsa" people, guessing you meant Xhosa. Then again, knowing how it's pronounced, that's about the best a non native speaker can hope for. Love the videos and the trips down memory lane.

      Except Xhosa - the Xh is a click sound, so it would be more like "kosa" (no idea how else to write a click sound, Xhosa is extremely phonetic so most of the spelt words only barely resemble how they sound).

    as for sirrurg , I think he took out the plane just to get at that magic user, no reason why, but that mage was powreful, like if you can hold off a great dragon for hours, holy shit, you are a power mage. Sirrurg did not start a war with Aztlan , Aztlan invaded Amazonia. Sirrurg was a beast and terror of Aztlan however he was taken down by Aztlan military forces but was saved and imprisoned by the dragon council.

    A small correction on Hestaby:

    To my knowledge nobody really knows what the orange queen is doing right know or where she is, but she is probably working on restoring her wealth and power.
