About the game
Dragon Dale is a game where four different factions meet on a mystical island whose fates are determined by giant, magical trees. Each has a different goal that is somehow connected to these trees. But no matter what their plans, a powerful, mystical dragon protects the trees at all costs. While each one roughly pursues your goals, they don't always do exactly what you want them to at that moment. To achieve your goal, you must combine and utilize very different elements through interaction with other players. Therefore, in every action, you must engage with your situation and your fellow players. Plan for the peculiarities of the landscape, which can impose its will on you, and use the power of the runestones scattered throughout it to tip the scales.
