Full Version: Rite of Succession?
Dumpshock Forums > Discussion > Shadowrun

Hey all, I've just gotten back into Shadowrun after quite a long break, catching up on the fourth edition, and things I have missed.

One I keep getting hints at, but little hard data is this Rite of Succession thing? (something about dragons I gather?) What book was this covered in?

Survival of the fittest?

When Dunkelzhan gave the Jewel of Memory to Lofwry in his Will, all the great dragons at the time basically agreed to accept that this was the modern way to go about things - even if it went against dragon tradition. However, when Ghostwalker showed up, he was unhappy with that arrangement, and thus started the Rite. The dragons all used pawns, much like the Chal'han in Harlequin, to posture and preen. Featured in Survival of the Fittest, the Rite ends with Hestaby gaining the Jewel of Memory, which she promptly hands to Lofwry to reinforce the acceptance of the modern ways. Dragons of the Sixth World covers the aftermath.

Thanks guys, and another thanks to whom ever keeps the The Ancient Files, I have been reading them all weekend, an invaluable source for bringing me up to date.

Ah ha, I'd missed that book. I'd seen Dragons of the Sixth world, but didn't really have the info.
Neat.

Almost all that there was to be told has already been told; the last things are that the background for Survival of the Fittest:
Portfolio of a Dragon: Dunkelzahn's Secrets
Year of the Comet
In the first there is there is the Big D's will, the thing that changed the face of the world and prepared the events of SotF, while the YotC did the same in a more letteral way and brought Icewing back.
