	Well phooey, we hear you say; what about dungeons, before there was anyone to build them. Here, Benage brought in [[serpentfolk]]. [[Yuan-ti]] in fact; we told you he was submitting this to WotC. The world's primordial for us apes - not for reptiles! Go right ahead and plop your yellowed copy of [[C1:~~_The_Hidden_Shrine_of_Tamoachan\|Tamoachan~~]] wherever ~~you want. You can even call it Lubaatum if~~ you want. Such ruins are best placed, where else, in the southern jungles of Zangala.

'''Dawnforge''' is a Primordial World setting by Greg Benage with help by Wil Upchurch and some others. Benage submitted this one to [[Wizards of the Coast]] in a competition for new and original settings. This one got knocked out in the semifinals but [[Fantasy Flight Games]] liked it and published it.
