Dragons! Aeonan ones are demi-god guardians of the divine and take their duties very seriously. Made from living obsidian they are rather sharp beasties and not above cooking a man to a crisp or slicing him in half if they feel their wards are in danger. That said, dragons were designed to protect gods from other gods, so mundane beings have to do something pretty extreme to toggle from "harmless" to "kill it now". Once the switch is made, though, dragons will not stop chasing their prey for days and they can fly faster than a horse can run, so the unlucky few who anger a dragon rarely live to brag about it.

Our arrival has attracted some attention.



Though mundanes are usually beneath a dragon’s notice, the children of Urrith take particular exception to the undead. Doubly so near their divine charges. I must thank Lena for so thoroughly dismantling our specimen. If the dragon thought the nymph-tree was threatened we’d find out if its breath truly can sear a person to ash.
