Fortunately a lot of the gold is turned into jewelry/used in electronics and thus taken out of circulation. Naturally the encomium slowly recovers.

Unfortunately a lot of the stuff made out of the gold is lost of dumped in landfills by the aliens where it will be discovered again in a mellenia.

Fortunately platinum and silver jewelry become all the rage and fill the void.

Bringing this back to life since it was fun.

Unfortunately, the sudden rise in production, and high demand of the precious metals caught the attention of some undesirables.

Dragons have began to terrorize cities, to collect all the pretty jewelry to add to their hoard. Oh, the horror.

Fortunately, the dragons caught the attention of a league of archmages, which vows to protect the land.

Unfortunately there are archmages who have read a lot of fiction and want to capture the dragons as pets instead of making a plan to defend everyone.

Fortunately, one of the dragons burns down the tower of one of the archmages, pissing them off as a group and making them go fight the dragons.

Unfortunately, it turns out that some of the archmages have gotten too fond of the dragons to do any real damage. Just look at those eyes.

Fortunately, Dragon Hunters don't have that problem and kill the Dragons.

Unfortunately the dragon hunters are demanding payment or they will us as slaves and we can't afford it.

Fortunately our local necromancer was actually just recently learning about dragon necromancy!

Unfortunately, the necromancy went too well, all the dragons are now dracoliches. And they still have free will. Hide your kids boyos.

Fortunately, we learned a magic spell to find all of the dracoliches phylacterys so we can destroy them.

Unfortunately, it requires ten innocent souls to complete it.

Fortunately, there are specific people with the mindset capable of making this sacrifice for the greater good; thinking, but unfeeling logicians prepared to take that endeavor to the fullest extent necessary.

Unfortunately, the priest running the operations were agents of Tiamat, and those souls went to making the dracoliches more powerful.

Fortunately, a priest of Bahamut intercedes at the last moment, sending the souls to where they were meant to go and allowing us to complete the process.

Unfortunately, this pisses Tiamat off, rekindling a millennia-old war. Dragons are now fighting on grounds where thousands of townspeople live. Chaos! Anarchy! Arson!

Fortunately one side of the war had a wizard who dropped a potion and turned the whole kingdom into toddlers

Unfortunately, toddler-aged dragons tend to explore their surroundings by biting. As do the toddler-aged humans. It's certainly less deadly, but now there's a lot of crying children to contend with.
