Steel Dragon, Adult
Deem Leem's bag o' Stuff
Steel dragons pride themselves on being protectors of those who can’t protect themselves, and will quickly intervene with any means necessary to thwart those who would see harm come to innocents. Using both their white hot flames and ability to move metal through magnatism, they fearlessly defend the multiverse against evildoers and their minions.

Steel Dragon's Lair
Steel dragons make their homes in hallowed halls and grand keeps constructed by them and their allies.
The region containing an adult or ancient steel dragon’s lair is altered by its presence, creating the following effects;
Bonded Guardianship. While in its lair, the dragon can cast Warding Bond, requiring no Material components, targeting up to 6 creatures that are within 1 mile of its lair. It does not need to make physical contact with these creatures or be able to see them. The spell functions as long as the creatures remain within 1 mile of the dragon’s lair.
Hallowed Grounds. The area within 1 mile of the lair is under the effects of a Hallow spell, and dead bodies interred in the area can’t be turned into undead. The creature type affected by the spell is chosen by the dragon each day at dawn.
If the dragon dies or moves its lair elsewhere, these effects end immediately.
