Fantast & SageArc

Hey there, I was thinking about how legendary beasts fit into the ecosystems of the worlds you build. What’s your take on the balance between a dragon’s fire-breathing and the forest’s resilience?
Fantast
Oh, that’s a great question! Imagine a dragon, a living forge, licking the canopy. The forest, over ages, evolved fire‑resistant bark, spores that only germinate after a blaze, and a network of root systems that sprout quicker after ash. So the dragon’s breath becomes a seasonal calendar; the forest’s resilience is its gift back to the beast. In my notes, I’ve drawn a cycle where the dragon eats the dead wood, and the ash fertilizes new growth. It’s a dance, not a duel.

That’s a beautiful way to see it—like a natural forge that keeps the forest young. It makes me wonder how the dragon’s own growth cycle ties into that rhythm. Does it wait for the next bloom to feed, or does it create its own seasonal lull? I’d love to hear what you think about the timing.
