[QUOTE="mythusmage, post: 1302509, member: 571"] [b]Walking with Dragons: Introduction[/b] (Here's part two. Again, it is a rough draft, feedback and comments can lead to revision and (I do hope) improvement.) This is a book about dragons. Dragons as they exist on the world of Dragon Earth. A world much like our own, but with many differences. Chief among these is the presence of working magic. Magic which allows for such as dragons, manticores, and rocs. Creatures that would not otherwise be able to exist, much less do what they do as they do it. Otherwise Dragon Earth is much like our Earth. A world where science has done much to explain how the universe works, and to make life better and, in some cases, worse for the people of Dragon Earth. So this is a natural history. A natural history of dragons. It covers their origins, their way of life, and how they fit in with the other animals of Dragon Earth, sapient and not. You’ll note that Dragon Earth dragons are not exactly like dragons from other sources. They are not reptilian, mammallian, or even avian, though they do have features of all three. They are an order all their own, and are treated as such. Nor are they symbolic of anything, emblematic of anything, or even an analog of anything. They are creatures in their own right. You’ll further note that while the dragons of Dragon Earth are based in good part on the dragons of the d20 SRD, they are not, exactly, like those dragons. These dragons have their own psychology, their own motivations. Not for them huge piles of lumpy treasure to sleep on. Or, for that matter, meals of rubies and gold. No, a nice bison or elephant will do quite nicely. Nor are they of tremendous size, for as the wise man once said, “It’s not the amount of dragon in the fight, it’s the amount of fight in the dragon. So welcome to a world of wonder and adventure. A world where great winged beasts sail among the clouds and above the highest mountain peaks. Welcome to a land of intrigue and mystery. Welcome to Dragon Earth and Walking with Dragons. [/QUOTE]
