Has anyone ever listed all years that the Dragons have raged in Faeruns history?
From memory
1374 (not a true Dragorage)
1357-58
1018
The Year King Zaor becomes King of Evermeet
Theres another one mentioned in Evermeet a Novel (Where Elven High mages cast a spell that kills all the Dragons including their mounts
Looking at the Grand History of the Realms there appears to be a couple of times where "Dragon Flights" have appeared but they havent been tied to the Dracorage

Master Krashos,
Thank you for clarifying that. I did not realize that!
Best regards,

Great Reader Ayrik,
Holy cow! Nice find!
That is awesome. A mini-dracorage: I am on this tonight, with that adventure.
Thanks again.
Best regards,

Great Reader Dargoth (and any new folk interested),
Here is the total list that I believe to be accurate at the link below:

Well, if Sammaster could do it, and then if the heroes of the tale could put it all together themselves, it stands to reason that numerous other interested folk would also have the capability of learning of the mythal, locating it, and possibly manipulating it too.
Still, I think the elven mythal is a sophisticated creation of elven high magic and might take more than a few centuries to analyze and fully comprehend the workings of the mythal. Sammaster got all the time in the world to do it as afterall he was a lich but Sammaster was no elven high mage, so I believe he increased the wryms' frenzy accidentally while studying and playing around with the mythal, for I think I recall the books saying Sammaster doesn't know what to do with the mythal causing the wryms to go amok becomes even more powerful for him to do anything much less control. |

The 2E boxed set states that a Rage of Dragons occurs approximately every 300 years - although revealed realmslore to date wouldn't support such a contention.

Seeing as how Algashon instigated a Rage to destroy his CotD rival, Drakewing, and an entire fledgling kingdom along with him, it seems like there is more than one source for the occurrence. Sometimes it has to do with this elfin mythal thing -- if thats the way one choses to take it in their own customized FR -- but at other times it has to do with human manipulations. It might still have other causes, such as population/migration, depending on the *specific* occurence in question.

You know that song...Blame Canada? Well, substitute a certain race for Canada and you have your answer.

I think the mythal that cause frenzy in wryms mentioned in the Year of Rogue Dragon trilogy must be some kind of ticking clock. |

What's a Dracorage? I might be more helpful if you can fill me in on this bit of Realmslore ... |
