I noticed something odd about the Tyranny of Dragon write-up on the WOTC D&D page.

http://dnd.wizards.com/dungeons-and-dragons/story

I think it's a little odd that the third paragraph notes that the dragons are looting, enough to throw the region into chaos.
This seems strange as it's written about like this is a goal of its own.
The looting isn't a side-effect of conquest or of the search for the dragon masks (as you'd expect).

Notice it's set off "Meanwhile...." so it's not part of what the cult is doing. Is this information just given to tell us what the evil dragons are doing and that this is different from what the cult has going on?

It just seems strange to me to have a set up that is: stop the return of Tiamat, stop the conquest of the area by the Cult and evil dragons.
And then, dragons are looting!
Kinda weird way of presenting that information.

I can, to myself, make some sense of it...it's dragons collecting stuff to glorify Tiamat and to, perhaps, search for those mentioned Dragon Masks or totems or whatever.

Anyone else have this reaction?

That link has a few articles from the Kobold team regarding this upcoming event or adventure line.

Do i detect a hint or two of sarcasm in that post George?

Well, when you create a "mega-event" you've got to find a way to include everyone and everything. So "meanwhile ..." does the job admirably in that respect.

Dragon rage but with greed?
