A key that, according to legend, opens the ancient Tomb of Ashkanar."
"I remember my father talk of such a tomb. It contained a dragon’s egg.
Gaius and Arthur[src]

The Tomb of Ashkanar is a mausoleum that houses the last dragon egg. It contains a number of traps and can only be accessed with the aid of a special Triskelion.

History[]

After Julius Borden stole a piece of the Triskelion from the castle vaults, Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table embarked on a quest to capture him and destroy the last dragon egg. They were also accompanied by Merlin, who wanted to protect the egg from both parties.

As they approached the tomb, Borden incapacitated Arthur and the Knights by poisoning their food, forcing Merlin to pursue him alone. Upon entering the tomb, Borden set off a trap that released poison gas, knocking him unconscious. Merlin was able to repel the gas with his magic and continued past him to a large chamber, where he found the dragon egg on a podium.

As Merlin approached the egg, Borden appeared and threatened him with a torch. In the ensuing fight, Merlin revealed himself to be the last Dragonlord and defeated Borden by knocking him out with a stunning spell. He then retrieved the egg, but removing it from the podium caused the temple to collapse. Leaving Borden to his fate, Merlin fled the tomb with the egg and escaped just as the structure gave way completely (Aithusa).
