Wow!

Greg, do you know anything about this?

In addition to Gertie, there is also Sophie, the Wizard of the Wood's Dragon.

-Havard

There's definetly stories of gertie. Chirine posted one on this board about becomeing friends with her. There was the renaming of the gate in Blackmoor after whe was killed. couple others, and there's Dave's drawing of her in the FFC. (or was that sophie?)

I see a draconic looking silhouette in the illo on page 61 of the FFC. Is that Gertrude?

And again I see another dragon on page 63, but the caption says "Tomb of the Grey Dragon". More questions, more mysteries....
Who would venerate a dragon by building a tomb for it? Such a large edifice would have been the result of many man-hours of labour for its construction, implying an organised work-force over a presumably long period of time (unless there was some magical presto-change-o going on). What did it do to win such admiration? What kind of life did it lead and how did it interact with the player-characters (if at all)? Or, perhaps it was bad and was sealed up in the tomb to keep it from being a menace! :shock: Do not disturb!

Dave had a beautiful model of Gertrude made out of grey clay. She was often sleeping on a rock in Blackmoor bay which we called Dragon Rock (if I remember correctly).
