#dragotha

"White Plume Mountain is located in the northeastern part of the Shield Lands, near the Bandit Kingdoms and The Great Rift.”  (Erol Otus, AD&D module S2, 1980 and later printings)  Dead Gnoll’s Eyesocket is a small cave, the only shelter available in the wilderness.  The other locations are not described and can serve as homebrew plot hooks, though they did appear in much later publications.

Dragotha the dracolich appeared on Dan Scott’s cover for Dungeon 134, May 2006, and featured prominently in “Into the Wormcrawl Fissure,” part 11 of the 12-part Age of Worms adventure path for D&D 3.5e, for level 19 PCs. Dragotha first appeared in 1980 as a little margin drawing in the corner of Erol Otus’ White Plume Mountain map.
