The Matron's Brood  

'Gorma tells me that you aim to slay the drake-queen. A noble quest, and I wish you good hunting. But killing the drake-queen is a temporary solution to a much greater problem.

'If left unchecked, her brood of eggs will hatch, and one of her drakelings will grow to take her place. You should destroy her eggs and make sure that nothing exists to inherit her legacy as the Scourge of Urugarth.

'Continue on your quest to Urugarth. It lies far to the west.'

The drake-queen rules the wilds of Urugarth, spawning broods of drakelings that ravage the countryside.
