House of Maphazel (Draconic Lineage)

Steel Realms

The Bloodline/House of Maphazel makes it home in a deep vein of copper in Copper Deep. They have basked in the metallic vein for so long their scales have gone copper and bronze. They have a pact with the Ducateon . At least three dragons are known to be part of the bloodline. They prefer to be addressed as a “House” the way noble families of humanoids often are. This has lead to much speculation… there may be a dozen or more, and perhaps even dragon kin long hidden from the surface world.
