The Myth
On a mountain near Waltensburg lies a seemingly bottomless swamp. Deep within it dwells an enormous dragon.
The creature is said to remain hidden in the swamp until one day it rises from the depths and descends toward the village. When the dragon finally emerges, it will cause a great flood, sending the waters down the mountain and bringing devastation to Waltensburg.
