Scattered on the floor were piles of charred remains: bones, skulls, broken skeletons, melted weaponry, splintered shields, and ragged clothing that were left behind from dead adventurers of the past.
Here did the magicks of old manifest themselves, depositing within the trove of treasures a single amulet. Beautifully crafted from bronze and set with an azure jewel, it was the Amulet of Truce; an artifact which carried an oath which bound the Dragons to this day. Whomever held the amulet also held the immediate assistance of the Dragon race and was considered a friend of their kind, therefore all dragons, wild and domestic, would come at the wielder's beckoning call. For the sake of the world, it was best if this amulet didn't fall into evil hands or else...
