Sardior: The Ruby Dragon and the Broken First World
from The Lich's Tale: A Faerûn Lorecast Hosted by The Lich's Tale
Why does one tradition preserve a living Ruby Dragon and another connect his fate to a shattered beginning? At a listener's request, Erilian visits Sardior's court, the five Thanes, Seradess and Blithen, obsidian dragons, scholarly servants, and the aleithian dwarves before comparing later First World beliefs with older dragon creation stories. The episode separates edition-specific lore, attributed belief, original interpretation, and invented illustrative scenes. The Blithen companion provides a partial explanation of Seradess's fall; her corruption's method remains unknown.
