Goiawrgfihfvdjncvmnmmk- GAH!

WHY is there a brass dragon in Dragons of Dwarven Depths? More than that, it seems to think it's in the Dwarfgate wars, which means therefor, that there was a brass. Dragon. In. The. Dwarfgate. Wars.

Am I the only one who thinks this is canon butchery?

This had better be explained to my FULL and COMPLETE satisfaction or Weiss and Hickman are going to heard from me as to why a fanfiction write appears to have a better grasp of canon than they do.

Okay, games modules I can understand, they're not supposed to make sense, but come on, surely Weiss and Hickman are discerning enough to work out that adding one comepetely pointless dragon would screw with the entire storyline? Anyway, we do get dragons, there are plenty of red ones flying around.

I'm near the end of the book and no explanation as to the brass dragon's appearence has been put forward. I am exceptionally pissed.

The brass dragon is there as a random shout out to the Dwarfgate Wars. It's like foreshadowing, except backwards. It's aftershadowing.

That's all I could come up with.

*despairing wail*

But there /were/ no brass dragons in the Dwarfgate Wars!

It was a *stealth* brass dragon. The evil dwarven wizards put it in a coma before it became a problem to the plot. *fanwank*
