The red dragon Drake is the ruler of the Dusk Mountain Range, with his lair deep within a massive volcanic crater. The nest is piled high with treasures of gold and silver and spoils left by conquered races. Drake's breath carries a strong scent of fire and sulfur, and every roar he unleashes can trigger minor volcanic eruptions.
The powerful presence of the red dragon has altered the terrain at the mountain's base, forming a unique lava plain. Though these areas are barren, they attract many heat-resistant magical creatures.
On the other hand, abundant mineral resources such as gold, diamonds, and sulfur lie near Drake's lair, but these resources are nearly impossible for ordinary humans to mine, as they are heavily guarded by Drake's minions and magic traps.
In villages near the Dusk Mountain Range, Drake is regarded as a being half-god, half-beast. Villagers both revere and fear him, offering tribute annually in hopes of gaining his protection.
