Don't really expect a response on a two year old video, but thought you should know that this video isn't in the Shadowrun playlist for some reason. Love the content!

you probably dont care at all but does anyone know of a method to get back into an Instagram account?? I was stupid forgot the login password. I appreciate any help you can give me

3 years later and still no metropolae video I agree with the top comment please make shadowrun seres

[@loverdeadly6128]

I like Dragons in Shadowrun. Their “power behind the power” thing can make for interesting plot twists. My crew did a run to steal an artifact from a Fourth World ruin in Salish, Indiana Jones style. We suspected we were hired by Tairngir, but it turned out our employer was Hestaby herself and she wanted to keep the artifact *away* from Tairngir because it had some kind of effect on the Astral Plane.

[@melfice999]

Do a full series on Shadowrun Lore Please. as I don't think anyone else has ever done this kind of thing in youtube.

[@wolffang489]

From my understanding the egg theft thing is a lot more significant than just kidnapping. Dragon type isn't determined by genealogy but rather by where the egg hatches and who does the hatching. There's only one Great Sea Dragon and Rhonabwy is contributing to that even if/when they hatch under his care.

[@deangoldenstar7997]

I love these shadowrun videos. For such a popular game, it's weird how there isn't a big shadowrun lore channel yet.

[@ervvmuller6020]

Dunkelzahn s name is older than the modern world. He was around in Barsave (Earth Dawn)--> wichs is basically modern Ukraine. That was around 10.000 BC. At that time Dunkelzahn was the name he used when disguising as the human servant of himself "the Dragon". Actually, the dragons were quite pissed that Dunkelzahn revealed to the world that dragons can change into Humans basically for a PR stunt.

[@jonaskollinger3676]

"and somehow they don't control the world" YES! thats where I went different with my setting. They absolutely rule the world :D

[@Ralndrath]

I'm considering having sapient dragons of a sort in my fantasy/diesel punk setting. My world's version of trolls would be a sub-species of dragon which were forced to evolve in another direction after they got stuck underground for millennia.

[@TheBurgerkrieg]

That might be an interesting take on things. Trolls tend to vary wildly in different settings.

[@yuin3320]

Idk if it was intentional or not but I'd say that works, considering Troll used to be a catch-all term for supernatural threats,

[@kennethholmes5427]

I do like the way you become a great dragon is just saying you are and being strong enough that no one can call you out on it

[@Legolas936]

Ah yes, I always loved the shadowrun dragons~ I agree that that's probably how dragons would act in real life, I also fully agree that Dragonfall is a great game

[@arkealunas4043]

Hey!! I’m a brand new Runner and just want to say thanks for these great videos!! They’re helping me so much!! 🥳

[@jurgenseehase6500]

As far as I remember... you forgot Schneeflöckchen, the western great dragon, that showed up once, restet on the UNO building and then went back into hiding in the alpine region somewhere ? ^^'

[@Reddotzebra]

Ironically, Loefwyr isn't actually the dragon on the logo of his megacorp. He changed it to honor Dunkelzahn after he was killed.

[@floridamancode_e2673]

Love all the shadowrun vids. I have watched them so many times

That has to be THE most interesting way I've ever heard someone pronounce Xhosa in my life - quite entertaining.

[@AnnoyanceHazard]

I appreciate your lore videos.

Haven't played this in so long, I used to love just reading the lore books. they're so in depth and detailed, well written and researched.

[@miguestepa]

Thank you man for these videos! I just got the Shadowrun games' saga and this is being super useful to understand the lore before playing.

[@plamenminchev6563]

Not sure if anyone mentioned this, but it's implied that Sirrug destroyed that plane in retaliation of The Night of Rage. OR he wanted to kill a group of Importal Elf dragon hunters.

[@GO0DWOLF]

Man, I felt that comment about nobody knowing about the sea dragons/leviathans. I've played since the late 80's on first edition and I had no idea. Also, I had a giggle at "Showsa" people, guessing you meant Xhosa. Then again, knowing how it's pronounced, that's about the best a non native speaker can hope for. Love the videos and the trips down memory lane.

[@jensaversjo316]

Aaaand subbed. This was bloody brilliant, fun to watch and listen to and overall just awesome. Well done !

[@PeterH-tu1kj]

THE VIDEO IS REALLY GOOD AND ALSO TOO BRIGHT .

In the latest lore from 6th edition. The Sea Dragon, has bought a part of Seattle as her personal enclave. After Seattle was declared a free city.

[@Pendragon667]

Late to the party but i'm really enjoying your really informative yet compact lore videos! Also, as native German speaker, i highly appreciate it that you know German and are weren't butchering Names and Phrases 😅

[@Ghostwalker2061]

11:33 yes, I am interesting, thank you for noticing.

[@dontpanic9772]

Cool Vid! Gonna send that shit around my SR group. We are currently being used by Ryumyo against Lung so this is helpful.

[@Abaddunskin]

So i'm reading the shadow run 6th world, Neo-anarchist Streetpedia, and I reach Celdyr's entry. Thee first line. The very first line, "Celdyr is a Nerd" . Drakes got a reputation.

[@heyfell4301]

As a Brazilian, I do confirm: we need a dragon president in our country. Like... now, as soon as possible, I don't care, anything's better than what we have here.😂

[@vaughnsteinberg6306]

Thanks for the concise and funny videos. I also dig the pronunciations.

[@MrBromansa]

Except Xhosa - the Xh is a click sound, so it would be more like "kosa" (no idea how else to write a click sound, Xhosa is extremely phonetic so most of the spelt words only barely resemble how they sound).

[@matteodelgallo1983]

Fuck yes Shadowrun lore videos, Shadowrun is how I even found the channel

[@danielhuete8798]

I fucking LOVE shadowrun lore, pls more you kind german man

[@enriquer.puricelli1437]

[@harraldschmitt9113]

[@MegaJoka100]

A small correction on Hestaby: She got exiled for her crimes against the draconic ways in the dragon civil war 2074 and lost her hort and all her belongings. To my knowledge nobody really knows what the orange queen is doing right know or where she is, but she is probably working on restoring her wealth and power.

[@f.g.5967]

She had a large part in Survival of the Fittest. All the trouble for nothing?

[@naughtseeingeye7767]

The Great Leviathan stays awake during the down cycle of magic & is sometimes entrusted to watch over dragon eggs

[@DarrylCross]

So basically the reason hyper-intelligent and super powerful sapient dragons don't rule any world their part of can fall under some mix of these categories: 1. They are not all on the same page and have varied interests and goals that sometimes run counter to each other and thus these powerful creatures create a bit of a counter-balance to one another. If one starts getting to powerful and influential, he'll find his rivals have started banding together to keep him in check. 2. They simply don't care to run the world - outside of maybe having a small holding, their concerns extend well beyond the confines of the mortal world. Running the world would just be taking time and attention away from the things that they really do care about. The dragons' minds are completely other to us, so they don't necessarily care about the things that we might if we had their power. 3. They DO run the world (or large portions of it), but just not in a heavy-handed sort of way. Instead they just appoint lieutenants and form hierarchies that take care of the day-to-day things that frees them up from the minutia of it all and really only ever get involved when something critically needs their direct attention. Otherwise most people simply may never even realize that everything has a dragon somewhere pulling the strings. Seems that SR kind of has a healthy mix of these three approaches.

[@lightningandodinify]

Subbed for shadowrun lore ❤

[@oliviawilliams6204]

Well one thing on Feathered Serpent i'd say quite a few actually oppose Aztechnology, they are more aligned with Amazonia. Also Celedyr is no longer with NeoNet... well actually Neonet is no longer a thing Snd i think Sirrurg is dead too now

[@johnwalsh4857]

as for sirrurg , I think he took out the plane just to get at that magic user, no reason why, but that mage was powreful, like if you can hold off a great dragon for hours, holy shit, you are a power mage. Sirrurg did not start a war with Aztlan , Aztlan invaded Amazonia. Sirrurg was a beast and terror of Aztlan however he was taken down by Aztlan military forces but was saved and imprisoned by the dragon council.

[@DaemonZola106]

You're hella dope for the Gamecube 👍🏾

In the wake of the events depicted in "Cutting Black" and "Slip Streams," Sea Dragon needs an update. She now owns the newly free cities of St. Louis and SEATTLE? MMMkay, Catalyst.

[@docbaker3333]

In fairness In dnd they gave up on ruling the world because they nearly got wiped out by magic so they decided that Empire wasn't for them and split up to do their own individual things.

[@KitsuKyo]

IIRC Lofwyr is also the Main Antagonist the the SNES shadowrun Game.

[@thiagom8478]

One nice thing about this setting is that they have those great dragons, who are very clearly entities recently awaken. And, also, there are the small version of dragons. Also intelligent people, but who may not be elder entities recently awaken. I am not entirely sure, but at least some of them may perhaps be people who used to be humans. And turned into dragons like some other people turned into elves, sasquatches, what have you. Must exist some sort of relations between the big and the small dragons. But really, who knows? I think the tabletop game never offered the option to build dragon characters for players. What is a shame. If they had done that this game would join Castel Falkenstein in the small list of games where that option exists and makes sense. Since we are in this subject, I have a curiosity. Maybe someone here can answer it. The vampire virus-stuff, changes every specie in a unique way. Trolls turn into wendigos for instance, if I remember it well. So, dragons (the small ones, I mean) they turn into what? I don't suppose would be fair for great dragons to get an upgrade into something more magical and powerful.

[@ianwarhover5390]

I have the same opinion about dragons as you, To me dragons are about strength, not necessarily power. strength includes weaknesses, power does not
