Beyond the wall Talorgan reached up to pat Biersys just beneath beneath her maw. A ripple ran down the hide of the dreq-wyrm. He knew she was always on edge whilst waiting for a dragon to land. He was about as happy to have to talk to some high born child that would look down at him in...

Malakath - Tre'keth Mountains - 300 Miles South of Thanasis The slaying of a Dragon was a horrid thing. It brought pain like a spiders web. Slowly crawling outward in distant fractures. The agony began with the Dragons bondmate, then extended to his family and House, and then splintered...

Every breed of dragon has its unique challenges in reproducing. The red dragons are thought to be so violent that their mating is more likely to end in the death of one of the pair than any successful eggs; the Tsonye dragons need to give birth half buried in the earth; and the Ēarendel dragons...

Tuon wondered if the excitement of flying would ever fade. Oh, she was not as egotistical as some Riders to proclaim that she didn't find it terrifying at times too but the rush of adrenaline even in those moments was a feeling she had come to savour. It made her feel - as cliché as it sounded...

Alinar clutched tightly to the rapidly cooling body of his dragon as the last vestiges of life left the winged beast he'd spent the last thirty years serving alongside. Tears stung at his eyes as he felt the final breath of his longtime companion, a figure he'd worshipped for so long, who over...

"Now. Have you all read your report?" The wind threatened to rip the words from Vhagor's mouth as they flew in a standard formation towards The Borderlands. Twenty plus years of service in the Thunder of Thanasis made him well versed in communicating across the distances between dragons in...

A pair of Thanasian dragon eggs disappeared from their nests. That was enough to stir riders into a panicked, frenzied search for the culprits. The shattered shell of a dragon’s egg was found by a rider and dragon in the treacherous wilds near the Wall. The embryo was mangled, its fetid corpse...

Thanasis - Six months after the Rising The Forge barracks and training fields, near the Wall. As the sun began its ascent over the training fields of Thanasis, casting a golden hue upon the sprawling landscape, Cullen Morvane found himself in a lone corner of the grandeur of the barracks'...

They had spent days in the sky, flying from Malakath to Espressa. Melisandre Evreux was not used to this prolonged air travel, even with the assistance of magic to make the flight easier, her sinuses and her lower body were angry with her. She was angry with herself, knowing that this flight...

Morning of The Rising, The Heartlands A dragon's roar in the distance drowned out the clap of unnatural thunder. Several of this years hopeful contestants paled and others grimaced. Ten had already realised why riders suggested not eating breakfast and had emptied their stomachs behind rocks or...

Ōmeyōcān, Training Arena Time erased all memories eventually. It had most certainly removed the memory of Ōmeyōcān from the minds of ordinary people in Thanasis. The looming mountain range was nothing more than a great shield that was the cities last defence should the worst happen. For the...

For those not born into wealth and houses, there are but two other ways to gain a dragon. The first is rarer than a dragonseye topaz. It is wielded by mothers across these lands to make their children come to heel, and by generals to install pointless hope in their soldiers, but it is...

Thanasis - Near the Sea "I know." Androl said as he gently patted Erenex's snout, his eyes darting briefly towards the dock where the massive ship lay. "I don't like it either." A low growl escaped the great Auresh Dragon, his scales seeming to bristle ever so slightly as he shook his head...

Tolzhin, Joork Thaczil The Joork Thaczil was the native name for the large stretch of harsh desert lands that stretched across the Northern half of Malaketh. Despite the harsh environment life flourished amongst the dunes though it took on unusual and odd forms. Creatures with scales and three...

Malakath - Thanasis Royal Palace Archives Head Archivist's Private Study Late Afternoon - Two days following the city festival There was only three days left to finalize the preparations for the year's census and Errune felt, strangely enough, that he didn't need them. The newest hires to the...

Thanasis - The Royal Palace "I had known of this day." The King said, his voice booming through the room as he sat upon his throne. On his left was an empty seat, the Queen's absence almost pointed. To his right stood his sons, all three of them peering down from the Dais. The heir looking...

Thanasis Po wore a servant's uniform. But not just any, one that marked her as a servant of the palace. It was the day after the Feast of Thunder festival. The red handprint of Madame Sinclair still marred one side of her face, though now the red had transitioned to the faintest of blues and...

Thanasis - Near the Borderlands "As you can see, my Prince, we are on schedule to meet your families most generous quotas. In fact, if our harvests continue in the manner they have we may even exceed projections by forty percent." As the Plantations Governor continued to speak Kaveh did his...

Thanasis Western Fringes The Fringes, they called them. The relatively uninhabited lands on the very edges of the peninsula that made up Thanasis. These were primarily rocky, lifeless beaches beyond the reach of the mountains that sheltered the city-state, but there were still pockets of life...

Melisandre waved a hand, shooing away the youngsters eager to continue on the tradition that every young noble dragon rider took on the third month of their first year as a level two. “Remember, night rides are fine as long as you stay away from Thargetis, if you go over the mountain range...
