"What's that?" asked Olaf.
"The dead part of the Dragon Land," replied Rakyar.
"The afterlife?"
"No, this is where dragons live who weren't accepted by the Magic of Nobility."
"What does that mean?"
Rakyar curled his lip in contempt and shrugged.
"It means some dragons chose power. Upon gaining might, they decided it belonged to them."
"Who does it belong to, then?"
"Everyone. They're merely its conduits."
"And that one who's burning... is that his punishment, why is he sitting by the fire and burning himself?"
"Ah, no, that's the Fire Keeper. It's Rakyar. Like me. A curator. He's here to guide those who've been saturated with the fire of knowledge back to the Dragon Land."
"Why is he scorched?"
"Those who choose to illuminate others usually burn themselves. In darkness, all light is needed."
