I was reading the timeline, and I found this gem:

Is there any explanation of why this happened in official products? And since when? This can really help me for some idea I have for my campaign.
The City of Father Dragon adventure is briefly mentioned in the First Fantasy Campaign (1977). The heroes managed to destroy an artifact that kept the Good dragons in a state of magical sleep. I believe this was an artifact that was similar to the Orb of Dragonkind, perhaps a precursor to that magical item. I don't know who had placed the dragons in this position, but the city is guarded by Balrogs (Demons), so possibly a demon lord or a powerful dark wizard. The adventure sounds failry epic so I would assume it occurred fairly late in Dave Arneson's original 5 year run of his campaign. Many PCs were killed while exploring the Valley of the Ancients so it is possible that it took place before that.
Father Dragon is revisited in the D20 Blackmoor material where he is known as Insellageth.
