•
Dragons that do not commune with a Draken Knight-Ascendant become rogues. Solitary and violent, they are usually appeased only by treasure, magic items or human sacrifices. Flavius & friends must reach the hidden lair of one of these monsters and slay it before it slays them. |

Flavius, in his first encounter with the great wyrm Golgoleth, finds himself once again in trouble. The ancient sword of power, Deus Irae, lies just beyond his grasp. This painting was done in 1989, before Paladin was written, and thus shows Flavius wearing the gold armour. In the novel, he has not yet acquired the the magical gold armour when this fight takes place. Needless to say, the dragon crushes his shield and devours his arm but still, somehow, Flavius manages to escape to later take on the ogre and plan a rematch with this great serpent.
