A dragon lived in the mountain forest near the Sill River and the capital of Innsbruck. He guarded a large horde and when the area flooded some of the treasure would be found downstream. The dragon would destroy the land until all pieces were recovered. He was defeated by a 12 ft nobleman who followed it to its cave, took its tongue as proof and became the local leader.

Eventually he turned pacifist and built the Wilten monestary were he'd killed the dragon.
