We actually said Dragon Wage. See, the dragons decided that their hordes of treasure weren't enough, and so they decided to form a union. Now, in order to employ a Dragon in your Dungeon, you have to pay them a quarterly salary. It's really messed with the local Dungeconomics.

I wouldn't really look into it. Calmgale gets kind of saucy if you wag your lips too much now that the profits are in the red.
