If their pact succeeds, they will unleash devastation on a continental scale. | | 4 | An [ancient black dragon](/Rules/Source/bestiary/dragon/ancient-black-dragon-xmm.md) rules a vast, decadent city built on artificial islands within a polluted lake. The site is threatened with destruction by an enraged [archdruid](/Rules/Source/bestiary/humanoid/archdruid-mpmm.md)—but destroying the city means thousands of innocents will die. | ^ancient-black-dragon-connections
