Some people have received their copies of Fizban's Treasury of Dragons, and have posted photos (including the table of contents!) online!

Interesting. Is there a preview of the poem out there? I've watched the video, but the guy doesn't talk about the poem that much.

He doesn't talk much about it, but you can stop the video and read it, as long as you're on a fairly large monitor. On a phone it would be a bit hard to do I imagine...

Well, take heart, my friend, for we do: the "Liondrake" in the Bestiary is the Draggone.

There is both a Draggonel and a seperate Liondrake in ToC.

I'm indeed in a phone, lol. But I managed it. Thanks for pointing it out

Easily translated as an Avatar of Khyber, who is actually Cosmic Tiamat.

I disagree. the embodied eberron khyber and syberis are a mith. There is no actual canon proof that they were in fact dragons. If they make Tiamat an Avatar of Khyber that would make it a fact that the progenitor dragons are real, and that goes against basically everything that Eberron stands for. If someone wants to do that in their Eberron great! Each table should be the main source of canon, but WotC should never make that assumption.

The draggonel was always sort of a pterodactyl thing. Or at least, in 2e it was described as being "distantly related to both dragons and pteranadons."

As opposed to the dragonne, which was, well, a liondrake.

But also specifically related to the brass dragon.

 

[Sword of Spirit]

And if I recall correctly the 3e dragonnel was a dragon-horse.

Draggonel is something way different, which is probably why they used Liondrake instead of Draggone.

Well, maybe it's just what the Dragons secretly believe?

At any rate, I expect this mythology to be related to Eberron in this book. And hey, Wyatt is one of the creators of that Setting.

Sure, I'm not against there being eberron related mythology in the book. I just want non Eberron specific books to be more carefull with Eberron stuff. Give hooks and ideas, not universal truths. I'd also like if they refrain from saying "X is true in all the worlds"... Mordenkainen's has already f'd up in this department, stating nthat all elves everywhere come from corellon.

I mean, as you point out, that ship has already sailed, it's the assumed base of the "canon" mythos.
