Lore & Background
Tiny Tina created "Bunkers & Badasses" as a tabletop role-playing experience. Following Roland's death during the events of Borderlands 2, she no longer has him as her guardian; instead, she navigates her own path while acting as the Dungeon Master, improvising the narrative and world on the fly. The Dragon Lord within the story is not a character she played who turned evil due to misuse of the Sword of Souls; rather, he is a manifestation of corruption and chaos within the game's world.
In Their Own Story
During the campaign for "Bunkers & Badasses," Tiny Tina acts as the dungeon master while players control "The Fatemaker." She guides them through a world where they face skeletons and the Dragon Lord. After the Dragon Lord steals the Sword of Souls and decapitates Queen Butt Stallion, he reveals to the player that he knows Wonderlands is just a game and plans to sever Tina's control because he views her as insecure and quick to anger. In the end, after the Dragon Lord is defeated, Tina encourages the players to use the Sword of Souls improperly again.
