Omg, I just read a trending post in a DMs group in Reddit about a DM who had a player who opened up google mid game to google something that had come up and accidently spoiled the whole campaign for themselves
Not that I think any of you would do that, but I'm sure that player wasn't thinking about unintended consequences when they did it so I'm going to say it just to be
safe...please don't google any aspect of the campaign or setting
If there's something you want to know, ask me and I'll either tell you, or I'll give you a check in game to see if you know.
If something comes up that I think your character might know, I might PM you with information. In that spirit, here's a wee lore drop as requested by @Dimrill last game RE: dragons.
In 5e, dragons are indeed intelligent beings who can communicate with other races and often speak Common as one of their languages. There are two types of dragons, metallic and chromatic. The metallic dragons are good aligned and chromatic dragons are evil aligned, although there are shades within that - Metallic dragons might consider themselves above other races and not bother helping if they're in trouble (or not even notice!) and chromatic dragons have been known to work with other races to further their own causes, or to have accrued followers who serve them. In the Sword Coast, there might even be dragons who have been part of famous battles or who have been known to terrorize certain areas so as you explore, local legends might reveal some of that to you.
