Drake Lorestone generates in Mountain, Ashlands, Black Forest, Meadows, Deep North, Swamp, Mistlands, Plains, within 10,000 m from the centre of the world, with 815 placement attempts per world. Worlds are seed-generated, so that band is the answer to "where" — it holds for every seed, which a marked map does not.
How it is placed
The count is placement ATTEMPTS per world, not a guarantee: the generator gives up on a spot that fails the biome, altitude or spacing test, so a cramped world ends up with fewer.

Variants 12
The generator runs 12 separate rules for Drake Lorestone. Each is its own model with its own attempt count, which is why the world total is the sum rather than one of them.

Drake Lorestone is placed by the world generator rather than built, so there is no coordinate to give you — but the rule behind it narrows the search considerably. It belongs to Mountain, Ashlands, Black Forest, Meadows, Deep North, Swamp, Mistlands, Plains, has to land within 10,000 m from the centre of the world, and the generator makes 815 attempts at it. Sail out along the band rather than sweeping the map, and check the biome first.

Where to find Drake Lorestone in Valheim
Where is Drake Lorestone in Valheim?
In Mountain, Ashlands, Black Forest, Meadows, Deep North, Swamp, Mistlands, Plains. There is no fixed position — worlds are generated from their seed — and this one carries no distance restriction, so it can turn up anywhere the biome does.
How many Drake Lorestone are in a Valheim world?
The generator makes 815 attempts. Each one can fail the biome, altitude, spacing or terrain check and be thrown away, so that is a ceiling rather than a count — a world short on the right biome ends up with fewer.
Can two Drake Lorestone generate next to each other?
No. Two have to be at least 128 metres apart, so finding one tells you where the next is NOT. Search outward from it rather than around it.
Which biome does Drake Lorestone spawn in?
Mountain, Ashlands, Black Forest, Meadows, Deep North, Swamp, Mistlands, Plains. Biome is only half the rule though: this one also has to sit between -1 and 1,000 in altitude, so the right biome at the wrong height produces nothing. That is why a location can feel absent from a region you have walked end to end.
Why does Drake Lorestone appear in different places?
Because its placement rules number 12, and each one can name its own biome, distance band and altitude range. The world generator tries them in turn, so two copies of the same location can sit in terrain that looks nothing alike — they matched different rules, not the same one twice.
