Ancient bronze dragons develop dramatic patinas on their glimmering scales. These dragons strive to protect whole regions, continents, or planets from threats. They seek solutions to planes-spanning calamities or multiversal perils and oppose the evil of mighty chromatic dragons.

Bronze Dragon Lairs
Bronze dragons usually make their homes near or under the sea.
The region containing an adult or ancient bronze dragon’s lair is changed by its presence, creating the following effects:
- Buoying Currents. Creatures within 1 mile of the lair that lack a Swim Speed ignore the extra cost of movement while swimming.
- Sun and Storms. While in its lair, the dragon can cast Control Weather, requiring no Material components and using the same spellcasting ability as its Spellcasting action. When casting the spell this way, the dragon can control the weather within 1 mile of its lair, regardless if the dragon is inside or outside.
If the dragon dies or moves its lair elsewhere, these effects end immediately.

Dragons of Potential and Preservation
Habitat: Coastal; Treasure: Implements
Where bronze dragons dwell, wonders flourish. Imaginative yet mindful, these metallic dragons work toward greatness and help others achieve all they can. They strive to preserve innovations, from the works of past civilizations to new discoveries, and they share such works widely. When dealing with shorter-lived beings, bronze dragons prefer to win them over through conversation and cultivation, but they don’t shy from battle when villains keep others from achieving their potential.
Bronze dragons enjoy the power and endless possibilities of the sea, and they often make their lairs in places of natural beauty or communities they wish to preserve. Within their dwellings, bronze dragons hoard things they believe will be useful one day. They salvage treasure lost to the sea, reclaiming wealth or sunken ships.
