The First DragonHello, my sparring buddy. We should have another fight sometimes. I think you may have earned a little reward.
Playerreward
The First DragonHave a look at the chests over there. Feel free to take the things you find within. You know, gold, gems and the like. There's also a garment I'm storing here for a while. As it doesn't fit me I have no need for it. ...
The First DragonBut it might be a nice outfit for a little human. You also can take the porcelain mask and the feathers. There's a wizard named Muriel in Thais who reportedly embellishes outfits with stuff like this.
Playerfight
The First DragonEven in retirement I sometimes succumb to the temptation of sweet battle. Fighting was so different back in the old times. You can read about it in my memoirs. There should be a copy lying here somewhere.
Playerretirement
The First DragonWhen you are young, you are much more tolerant towards the burden of life. At a certain age even a dragon will start to think about if things will go on forever. ...
The First DragonEventually there comes a time when you decide all the hassle isn't worth it anymore and you decide to concentrate on the finer things life has to offer.
Playertimes
The First DragonTimes have changed <sigh>. In the past dragons were feared and respected. Only the demons rivalled our notoriety.
Playermemoirs
The First DragonI dictated my memoirs to a human servant. I like the idea to share my thoughts and memories with humanity with the help of a book. ...
The First DragonYou are my greatest fans after all. ...
The First DragonIf it becomes popular, I might consider an orcish translation or even one in bonelord language. ...
The First DragonBy the way, it's a funny story how I learnt the bonelord language. However, I saved it for a possible part two of my memoirs.
Playerhassle
The First DragonI really enjoy a good fight now and then. ...
The First DragonA real pain, however, is the constant annoyance caused by tedious fights against adventurers with more healing pots than brain.
Playerdemons
The First DragonThose upstarts! I wonder why would anyone care about them. They lack our style. For them it is all about brute force and showing-off.
Playerstyle
The First DragonBreathing fire is an art! Instead of setting everything on fire, you exhale a cone of fire to give a worthy opponent a chance to avoid it.
Playerworthy
The First DragonTo be honest, the first dragon hunters weren't worthy. ...
The First DragonThey used weaknesses to their advantage. It took some time before a dragon could be killed in a fair fight.
Playerweaknesses
The First DragonThe first awoken dragons were quite disoriented when leaving the mists and re-entering reality. ...
The First DragonThis led to certain vulnerabilities. However, the dragons overcame such shortcomings quickly and soon took their rightful place in the food chain, so to say.
Playermists
The First DragonThere was a time before the gods cast the mists of healing over the world. At that time the dragons ruled and burnt the world. ...
The First DragonIn hindsight I'm not too proud of this. This was some kind of juvenile bullying.
Playerworld
The First DragonThe world has changed so much; I'm beginning to feel really old. People have changed, the face of the world has changed, even the laws of nature are no longer the same. ...
The First DragonI think it is the greatest advantage of you humans to be more flexible and adaptable.
Playerhumans
The First DragonYour lives are so short and meaningless and yet you are here! And as a race you even have your own history and remember things with the help of books, which amazes me.
Playerbooks
The First DragonYour books are an amazing thing. Draconic glyphs are so different. ...
The First DragonThey are not only more complicated but also more specific. A single word which always keeps the same meaning is astonishingly effective in its primitive way. ...
The First DragonIt helps you to conserve thoughts, stories and history and to share them with others - a concept I really appreciate. ...
The First DragonBooks are a wonderful invention. If you are ever tired of your heroic exploits, take the time to read one.
Playerconcept
The First DragonI like the idea of books so much that I acquired a human servant to record my memoirs. You find a copy somewhere in my lair.
Playerinvention
The First DragonBeing powerful creatures themselves, dragons had no need for inventions. ...
The First DragonHowever, now that times have changed and the pressure increases, even my kin might slowly start to change in order to adapt.
Playeradapt
The First DragonWell, surely some of my kin might whine and complain as they always do. ...
The First DragonYou have no idea how backwards thinking some dragons can be. A few are even still idealising the times before the mists.

Playerfiner
The First DragonThe definition of finer things is different for a dragon than for a human. ...
The First DragonA young dragon appreciates diving into a lava pool, while an old dragon just can't stand to get rid of the lava afterwards and prefers bathing in boiling water.
Playerlava
The First DragonLava is only fun as long as it doesn't harden - then it turns into an annoyance.
Playerhassle

Playerlanguage
The First DragonI learnt the human language by a whim of fate. I kept some humans captive for a while for my amusement. ...
The First DragonAfter a while I began to wonder if the noise they made had an actual meaning. I was quite amazed to learn about your short lives and your ridiculous civilization. ...
The First DragonI had so many laughs about your hilarious and ignorant antics, I even developed some kind of sympathy for you.
