Ancient Dragon Remnant

An Ancient Dragon Remnant is not a surviving member of a dragon species. It is a unique mythic event: a coherent mass of dragon memory, banishment residue, relic power, and wounded cosmology taking the shape of a dragon because the world still remembers dragons as the form of impossible force. A Remnant should be unique to a campaign arc and should raise theological consequences by existing at all.
