Draconis Mons is a zone in the Ring of Fire Islands. It is a hollow volcanic island on the northwest edge of the island chain, originally submerged until Primordus had raised it. Parts of the sea had shifted underneath, beginning to boil due to Primordus' presence and becoming tainted into Sulphuric Water. The druids have long watched over this area, calling it an important place of nature; in 1173 AE, the few survivors of the chak attack on Rata Novus fled here, to a colony still in development called Rata Arcanum. Zinn created a device to terraform the area to make creating of Rata Arcanum easier, however the druids reacted harshly and butchered them all.

Recently, Balthazar had brought the White Mantle here under the guise of Lazarus, then later Mercenaries to build a fortress to combat Primordus.

Getting there

Unlike most zones, Draconis Mons is not directly connected to neighbouring areas. In order to reach it, players can use one of the following methods:

• Use an Draconis Mons Portal Scroll.
• Complete the Flashpoint instance Taimi's Pet Project - the first story step of Episode 5 from Living World Season 3.
• Use a Teleport to Friend while having unlocked the area on the account.

Map resources

•  Unbound Magic is found throughout the map and is dropped by various enemies and events.
•  Fire Orchid Blossom can be gathered from Primordial Orchid nodes throughout the map and as event rewards. The 4 renown heart vendors will also sell a bundle of 3 Fire Orchid Blossom for karma once the heart is completed, available once for each character daily. These are needed to buy special items from renown heart vendors.

Trivia

• In Latin, Draconis Mons means "Dragon's Mountain" or "Mountain of the Dragon".
• The map was originally named Mantlerock Scald during development, but was later changed due to feeling too unrealistic. The current name was inspired by Olympus Mons, the largest volcano on Mars.
• Although they are both located in the Fire Island region, Draconis Mons and Ember Bay have different character select backgrounds.
