Exactly, "95% and more besides". It is open to someone else how large the ritually claimed borders of that almost prehistoric Elven kingdom were. Other nations within the borders are within easy warfare range, and if the Grand Monarch ever realizes the connection to the old Elven borders, he will have a very strong territorial claim as the inheritor of the Elven realm.

There is another dragon sleeping dep in the bowels of Mt.Xark. Xarkavan is sleeping there for uncounted millenia in the middle of a lavafilled cave. The worship of fire has given him power but as for now has not awakened him. The crucible decided to keep the efreet after they discovered that there was something in the mountain. With the help of the efreet they found out what it is but are now unsure what to do with this piece of information. At the present they try to find more clues about the ancient dragons.
Almost 1000 years ago a period of civil strife tore up Eyros. At that time, the Gnomes were distrusted as evil little necromancers possibly up to no good, and an Orcish clan/house chief was assigned to oversee them in 5 year periods. Fraxxer Bloodtooth held that position at that time.
Bloodtooth and Thanatos hated each other, but when the Gnomes provided key aid to the status quo rulers, they achieved a greater preeminance. They were awared with certain responsibilities in which they would have a free hand. Quite rapidly, Fraxxer was mysteriously killed. Several years later, a dark threat to Eyros came to light, and the gnomes took to the field, directing a small army of undead into the breech. Bloodtooth was raised as a Deathknight to be the Archon of the Dead- general of the undead armies of Eyros. His loyalty was bound to Thanatos with many spells.
500 years later, the Praes Thanatos managed to get a law passed that would 'volunteer' treasonous soldiers to serve under Bloodtooth after death. At that same time, Bloodtooth announced to the Praes Thanatos that on the thousandth anniversary of his death he would be freed of their control, and on that day he would eat their hearts.
As an aside, Bloodtooth got his name because he supposedly ate one of his enemies, and it stained one of his teeth. Actually, he ate a sacred lizard when 13, staining his tooth, perhaps that sealed his fate. In mockery of his cover story, Thanatos contrived for Bloodtooth's fangs to drip blood in battle or anger. Thanatos' sense of humor has dried up significantly since then.
Since Fraxxer is essentially bound to the service of the Praes Thanatos, he is more like a living weapon than a super-powered NPC. Whether his words 500 years ago will come true or not is something else.
