Deep dives
The Dragon Empire's Treasure Law
In the Dragon Empire, the ruling dragons, known as the Morta, claim ownership over all treasure found within their territory. Characters learned that any treasure they discover, even if previously lost or buried, legally belongs to the Morta. For example, after finding a valuable painting worth 200 gold, the adventurers realized they would only receive a meager 10 gold pieces as a finder's fee, leading to frustration and resentment towards this tyrannical law. This revelation set the tone for their ongoing conflict with the ruling power and their desire to resist such injustice.
