Push deep enough into the Ancient Realms, and you will stumble upon four Drake Isles. Here, you can snatch up treasure chests and Waystone Shards, which are pretty handy if you want to unlock the path to the Dragon Shrine—a significantly more lethal destination. Only the toughest warriors will survive a trip into the Dragon Shrine, as waiting at the very end is Azarion the Flame Dragon, quite literally the most brutal PvE showdown in Albion Online history. If you are brave enough to risk it all and put Azarion down, Sandbox Interactive lets you claim a Fire Drake Egg, allowing you to nurture and raise your very own Flamewing Drake mount.

Dragons will not just stay cooped up in their sanctuaries, either, as they are now spilling out into the open world as well. To celebrate the rollout of the Dragonfire update, Albion Online is hosting a fresh creator contest dubbed 'Royal Hunt' running until October 12. During this event, content creators will form guilds and throw themselves into various missions, including hunting down dragons. Completing these tasks bags some sweet loot for their communities, while the top-performing participant will walk away with a limited-edition 'Dragon Coin' cast in pure sterling silver.
