piles of coins they covet, minted by current and fallen

humanoid empires, as well as art objects and fine

jewelry crafted by numerous races. Other treasures

that make up their hoards can include intact ships, the

remains of kings and queens, thrones, the crown jewels

of ancient empires, inventions and contraptions, and

monoliths carried from the ruins of fallen cities.

A SILVER DRAGON's LAIR

Silver dragons dwell among the clouds, making

their lairs on secluded cold mountain peaks. Though

many are comfortable in natural cavern complexes or

ab'andoned mines, silver dragons covet the lost outposts

of humanoid civilization. An abandoned mountaintop

citadel or a remote tower raised by a long-dead wizard is

the sort of lair that every silver dragon dreams of.

LAIR ACTIONS

On initiative count 20 (iosing initiative ties), the dragon

takes a lair action to cause one of the following effects:

The dragon creates fog as if it had cast the fog

cloud spell. The fog lasts until initiative count 20 on

the next round.

REGIONAL EFFECTS

The region containing a legendary silver dragon's lair

is warped by the dragon's magic, which creates one or

more of the following effects.

• Once per day, the dragon can alter the weather in a
  6-mile radius centered on its lair. The dragon doesn't
  need to be outdoors; otherwise the effect is identical to
  the control weather spell.


• Within 1 mile of the lair, winds buoy non-evil creatures
  that fall due to no act of the dragon's or its allies. Such
  creatures descend at a rate of 60 feet per round and
  take no falling damage.


• Given days or longer to work, the dragon can make
  clouds and fog within its lair as solid as stone, forming
  structures and other objects as it wishes.
  If the dragon dies, changed weather reverts to normal,
  as described in the spell, and the other effects fade
  in 1d10 days.
