==Faerunian Draconomicon== [[File:FOR1 cover.jpg|thumb]] The [[Forgotten Realms]] Draconomicon was, like its predecessors, basically a Big Book o' Dragons for DMs, but with a lens specifically on the dragons of Faerun, rather than the more setting neutral stance that its first successor would take. This Draconomicon was divided into nine chapters. '''Chapter 1''' is titled "Reference". This chapter talks about various aspects of dragon-dom within Faerun; the list is ''long'' and covers many different sub-topics: * Debates on the origin of dragons. * Theories of draconic evolution and a draconic evolutionary family tree. * Dragon interactions with magic. * Future developments of draconic evolution. * Draconic history. * Customs and social mores based on species. * Interspecies relationships. * Religion, including a detailed list of the [[Dragon Gods]] in the Forgotten Realms. * The history of draconic holy wars. * The dragon belief in the Twilight of their Gods. * The phenomena of dragons being worshipped by other races. '''Chapter 2''' is titled "Geography". It's basically a "where do dragons live?" chapter, examining each species' general preferences and the specific regions of the Realms where those dragons have been reputedly sighted. '''Chapter 3''' is where the focus of each chapter starts getting obvious. Titled "Dragon Psychology", it's all about the quirky aspects of the dragon mentality; hoard-gathering, reproduction, activity cycles, "rogues" (dragons of non-standard alignment), the draconic influence on the ecosystem, the Ptarian Code of Honor (plus the Talons of Justice, a silver dragon organization dedicated to living by that code), and a brief summary of dragon/humanoid relations. '''Chapter 4''' is all about "Roleplaying Dragons". Despite this name, it's actually focused more on dragons from a mechanical perspective. Aging, disease, food requirements, breeding, the trials of trying to raise dragon hatchlings, and so forth. '''Chapter 5''' covers the Faerunian "Dragon Hall of Fame". '''Chapter 6''' is all about "New Dragon Species". It covers chromatic dragon crossbreeds, mercury dragons, dracohydras, steel dragons, and yellow dragons. '''Chapter 7''' is all about "Magic", specifically covering spells and magic items used by draconic spellcasters '''Chapter 8''' is the "Hunter's Guide". It's simple basic advice presented as an in-universe guide to hunting dragons. Finally, '''Chapter 9''' is titled simply "Miscellaneous Information". It covers the draconic afterlife, dragons traveling to other [[plane]]s, [[Spelljammer|spelljamming dragons]], and the Draconomicon as an in-universe magical grimoire. This book concludes with four dragon-centric adventures; "The Millennium Dragon", "Invitation to a Robbery", "The Servants of the Verdant Cloud", and "Draco Holy Wars".
