It maddens them.    It will turn them against each other…. And crush any on the way.  Especially those that would otherwise prohibit the aberrational lords from fully awakening. “The dwarf is stunned.  He cannot imagination such a world.  The dragons…. At war.“Then your mission… involving this dragon…. It failed?”“I do not…. know.  I met Karravandom in year 943.  I knew he was the one.   I had to first convince him of who I was and what the mission was… the importance of it.”“Aye.  An’ you did.” Says the Dwarf…. Beginning to understand.“I had the dragon do the unthinkable.  I had him create a clone of himself.  It sat for years and years inactive.  In this time, the original dragon went to the Shadow Marches and hid. He had to hide from the Orcs, the aberrations, the druids and the guarding dragons.  Yes.  The dragons knew of the Dragon Fear.  But they knew to go near it may release it.”  Taking a drink from his bottle, the gnome sighs and continues with his tale of fate and betrayal. “It was released and Karravandom purposely strode towards it.  He was Infected and driven crazy.   Through force of will before the magical disease fully possessed his mind, he flew south to and over Xen’drik.  To where we are.  But by this time, when he reached us, the disease fully possessed his mind.  We killed him as I knew we would.  Even now, his clone awakens.  It has the knowledge and experience of the Dragon Fear but none of its effects.   He now flees to the island of the dragons to warn them.   He sacrificed much…. To save most of the dragons and possibly- the world.”The dwarf stares hard at the gnome.   “I should hate you.   You judged me harshly for similar actions…. But I can only pity you.” and Kim Elderich leaves the two gnomes alone…. To weep in sorrow and self-pity.“Hey guys- this Dragon had a bunch of really useful stuff on him…..” shouts out Play…. Breaking up the pain if only for a moment.</blockquote>
