After the founding of Margaret Weis Productions

In 2004, after Margaret Weis and Don Perrin divorced, Margaret Weis founded Margaret Weis Productions[5] which used the Sovereign Stone system as the basis for the Cortex System and the Serenity RPG. The Sovereign Stone website was deleted at the end of July 2004.[6] In early 2008 the rights to Dragonlance reverted to Wizards of the Coast[7] with the final book in the line, Dragons of Spring, being produced in January 2008.[8] The Sovereign Press website closed down at the end of 2008[9] with dragonlance.com not being updated after June 2009 and being taken down in early 2011[10]

gollark: Appearance/Basic Anatomy Their golden scales retain heat better than other dragons. The twin dorsal fins at their shoulders grow slowly. When first born, the golden scales are at their brightest and then dull over time. The dorsal and tail spines are not sharp. The underbelly has harder scales than the rest of the body. Three digits on each wing, with a small claw-like digit at the central joint. Eyes have slit pupils that are bright apple green. The tail is prehensile to a degree and helps steady movements.Hatchling Behavior Hatchlings are timid but curious. At a young age, scales start out sharp. When encountering other metallic dragons, Golds become very talkative. They can’t do much flying until the twin dorsal fins are long enough.Adult Behavior Can be persnickety at times. Absolutely love objects as shiny as they are. Being hunted for their lustrous scales has made them tend to avoid humans. Dislike direct sunlight when in groups. Highly intelligent compared to other breeds. Have studied humans to a small degree but are not particularly impresssed with them.Habitat Can be found near caves. Hatchlings tend not to stay where they are supposed to. Prefer dense wooded areas.Diet Primary diet of large game and pack animals. Are careful to avoid killing off entire herds. “Snack” on nuts, if available.

gollark: `his horse as fast as a horse capable of moving somewhat above the median speed of horses`
