Back in time, there were many of these fire spitting beasts, but generations of brave heroes have burnt this danger almost entirely out. The name of only one dragon, calling himself Madostror'Skar and being now more than 4700 years old, is known to me. As a hatchling, they say, he was found and brought up by humans, which is how he learned to speak the language of people.

So far, no dragon slayer has tracked him down and overcome him, but I am certain that many will set out to try. Could it be young Erestor who will at last succeed? It is what must be hoped for - so this pestilent plague will finally be erased.
