* Great Dragon Backgrounds: Mountainshadow
* Far Scholar, “the meddler”
* Mountainshadow is toward the top of the list of ostensibly “good guy” dragons.
* Appears in Shadowrun as Dunkelzahn, where he is a fan of humanity in general, but not as blatantly in the Earthdawn era.
* He and his brother Icewing were clutched by All Wings.
* Primary lair is in the Dragon Mountains, rumored to have a secondary lair in the Badlands.
* Helped Prince Neden recover from his suffering under the Death Rebellion.
* According to the Outcast, caring for a small clutch of eggs.
* Adult dragons that also lair in Mountainshadow’s territory, and what that likely says about their relationship.
* Legendary artifact: The Eye of All Wings
* Collects magical lore and mystical secrets, one of the most magically learned beings in Barsaive, if not the world.
* Became Loremaster after the death of Vasdenjas.
* Could be brought into a game as a source of mystic lore.
* Large network of spies and loyal servants across the province.
* Mountainshadow’s drakes, and possible involvement with the theft of the Everliving Flower.
* The Dragons’ Network and Darktooth
* Mountainshadow’s personality: Compulsive need to study things he does not understand.
* Possible weakness in that he might take time to gather information before he acts.
* Opposition to Thera as a campaign hook to involve Mountainshadow as an ally (or antagonist).
* Possible involvement with Iopos and the Denairastas.
* Good option as high-level employer or mentor for “typical” player character groups, especially compared to other dragons.
