A Guide To The Dragon World

A letter from the founders.

Fellow dragons,

We have been researching the tribes and kingdoms of our world for some time now, and it has become clear to us that none of the previous scrolls that claimed to be "guides" to our world were remotely adequate or complete enough. 

Starflight  means all the other scrolls were bad! And SO BORING, you guys! I've seriously used The Nightwing Guide To The Dragons Of Pyrrhia to put myself to sleep like, 800 times. -Fatespeaker 

Many of the current scrolls in out libraries were written by Night Wings or Sea Wings (Or in the case of Pantala, the Hive Wings), giving us a necessarily limited view of all the other tribes. Many of these guides, for instance, do not include anything about Rain Wing venom or Leaf Wing leafspeak. They describe all Sky Wings as unfriendly, all Rain Wings as lazy, all Mud Wings as thick-headed and all Sand Wings as sly and under-handed. One would think this and go without saying, but just to be clear: Every dragon is an individual. You cannot lump all the dragons from any tribe into one category. That is close-minded nonsense and exactly the sort of thinking that the Jade Mountain Academy was founded to fight against.

In case you can't tell, Sunny And Glory helped write this section. -Fatespeaker

And then Starflight took most of the yelling bits out and made it sound all polite!- Glory

Therefore, we have decided to embark upon the following project: to compile a more true, more complete, more representative guide to all the dragons of our world. Starflight, our head librarian  and archivist of the Jade Mountain Academy, is launching an outreach expedition to every tribe: From the palaces and strongholds to the border towns, outer islands and smallest villages. We are asking for your voices and stories and the details of everyday dragon life: Anything that should  be included in a real Guide to the World of Dragons.

Thank you for your help with this book! We hope it brings joy and greater understanding to everyone who reads it!

You should have seen the fight Starflight and Sunny had over this last exclamation point! It was hilarious! Sunny totally won. -Fatespeaker

We are MAKING THE WORLD A  BETTER PLACE! OF COURSE there should be EXCLAMATION POINTS! -Sunny

Signed,

Tsunami, Sunny, Starflight, Clay and Queen Glory.
