I mean yes, Alliteration for the Nation: but dungeons, REALLY? Dungeons: dank holes in the ground full of starving manacled prisoners and the odd skeleton. Not so much a feature of treasure vaults. (WHY brain, WHY NOW?!?)

Got it: the prisoners are the last posse of murder hobos to pass through the portal in search of loot. The dragon guarding the treasury that backs the local fiat currency administers a beat-down then confiscates all their loot and charges them bed and board. Debtor's prison!

Never trust a currency denominated in precious metal coinage with a decimal-divisible base and a fixed exchange rate. All it takes is opening up one new electrum mine and BOOM, there goes your economy! (Yes, I know what electrum is. Why do you ask?)

It was a scam the whole time! They sent adventurer after adventurer down that hole chasing the promise of wealth. None returned, and the dungeon just got fatter and more smug.

It's a clever ruse. You hide your loot in the dungeon because nobody will ever look there.

From Norman word "donjon", meaning castle or fortress

(D&D wasn't marketed to 11th Century Normans, so it's only an accidental excuse)

How else is the aristocracy going to get its authentic BDSM gear? Just hire a bunch of adventurous drunks from the local tavern of course!

How else do the ruling class get the upstarts out of the way? Tell them there's treasure down a risky mineshaft. Best case, you declare them dead and confiscate their property. Worst case, some of them return, promoting more rabble to play the same risk.
