As intelligent as they are fearsome, ages past the Coin Drakes made pact with the races of man, elf, and dwarf to end the bitter, bloody enmity that long had lain between their kindred.   In exchange for peace to lay upon their hordes of coin and treasure unmolested, Dragons of this breed swore to raid and burn neither village nor town. Further they agreed to make common cause in war against the evil races whenever dire need arose. Coin Drakes are notable for their mottled bronze coloring, this the result of long centuries with their scales in contact with the precious metals heaped within their lairs.
