Tales of the Lazy Dragon - Ambrose




 Ambrose is the current proprietor of The Lazy dragon Tavern. Ambrose is an older man with a beaming smile and an infectious laugh. His warm kind eyes tell of knowledge and wisdom well beyond his station.

Although Ambrose is unusually wise, he does not flaunt it. He is humble beyond measure and gracious to a fault. He is often heard singing softly to himself in an unfamiliar tongue, but if questioned about it will behave as if he has no idea what is being talked about.


Behind those endearing eyes hides a secret— Ambrose‘s real name is Ambricus and he is a former monk of Star Stone Abbey. He is believed to be dead and has assumed a new identity to protect himself. years ago the Empire mysteriously destroyed Star Stone Abbey. The monks there were either murdered or "re-educated." Ambricus however managed to escape.

Tales of the Lazy Dragon - The Lazy Dragon Tavern

The Lazy Dragon Tavern is the last stop on the edge of the Dragon's Spine Mountains in a place known as No-Man's Land. Many have come to seek their fortune in No-Man's Land. It is rumored that the largest deposit of Estrella Stone, the source of all magic in Egeszfold, lies in these mountains and the rush is on!

The Lazy Dragon was here long before Ambrose took ownership; in fact it is rumored that The Lazy Dragon was here when Egysten himself walked in his creation and while the Dému still tended the garden.

Beneath its rustic exterior, beneath the everyday dust and dirt, The Lazy Dragon is a magical place; a place of legend sung about in song. So many adventurers have passed though these doors seeking fortune and glory that it is said that the tables and chairs themselves can tell tales of treasure, power, kings, and glory lost to an age long past. Further beneath it is rumored that the tavern sits on top of the largest vein of Estrella Stone the world has ever known. All of those are just stories told by drunk dwarves and bards looking for their next meal, right?
