The Dragondawn Plateau rests on the northeast region of the greater Amandal Plateau.

The Dragondawn Plateau rests on the northeastern portion of the Amandal Plateau. Despite its name, like many other plateaus in the Jaggudorns, the Dragondawn Plateau is covered with high mountain peaks. It is called a plateau as the lowest elevations are considerably higher than the foothills of the Jaggudorns and the lower High Shadevan Plateau. As it faces the east, its name incorporates 'dawn.' The Dragondawn Plateau is notorious for its namesake, the wild Jaggudornish dragon. The legendary Demonfrost Lake fills a canyon in the southwestern portion of the plateau as well as the Jaffgorn settlement of S'agwak'e in the southern portion of the Dragondawn Plateau. The entire region is remote and inhospitable. To the north of the Dragondawn Plateau, below the Jaggudorn Mountains, is the Dagunyami Plateau.

Despite the inhospitability, the Dragondawn is home to dragons and native fauna, including thraughbears, snowbears, and a few Jaffgorn Giants. The Jaffgorn Giants are limited almost entirely to the settlement of S'agwak'e as most do not venture deep into the region, wishing to avoid dragons and other perils. During the twenty sixth century, Thracians as part of the Kalikán-Ephysgæes Pact, brought Gorcorumbese Giants to the region to hunt dragons.
