Publication history
''Races of the Dragon'' was written by Gwendolyn F.M. Kestrel, Jennifer Clarke Wilkes, and Kolja Raven Liquette, and was published in January 2006. Cover art was by Steve Prescott, with interior art by Steven Belledin, Ed Cox, Daarken, Wayne England, Emily Fiegenschuh, Carl Frank, Dan Frazier, Brian Hagan, Ralph Horsley, Chris Malidore, Jim Nelson, and Eric Polak.
Gwendolyn Kestrel explains the inspiration for the book's material: "Dragons are a rich part of the ''Dungeons & Dragons'' game history. There's plenty of material in the game system to serve as inspiration. Of course, we wanted to go beyond what we had done before. While familiar with both ''Savage Species'' and ''Unearthed Arcana'', I didn't directly go to these books for inspiration for ''Race of the Dragon''."
