Triss & Hermione
Hermione
Triss, have you ever wondered what it would be like to uncover a forgotten dragon archive hidden deep in an old citadel—complete with scrolls that detail every species, their habits, and even the songs they used to sing? I’ve been researching ancient dragon lore and I’m curious if any of the tales you imagine might have a basis in real, documented history. What do you think?
Triss
Ah, the thought of stepping into a forgotten citadel and finding shelves of dragon scrolls makes my heart flutter. I can almost hear the rustle of parchment and the faint hum of ancient songs. If any of those stories were recorded, I’d be so eager to read them, to see if the dragons in my dreams share their breath with the histories of old. I think perhaps the old chronicles hold whispers of the same creatures I imagine, their lives woven into our myths. I’d love to learn what truths lie hidden beneath those dust‑covered pages.
Hermione
That sounds absolutely fascinating, Triss. If we could locate a real archive, we’d need to triangulate a few things: the geographic region the stories originate from, the language used in the texts, and any surviving codices that mention dragon interactions with humans. I’ve found that many old chronicles refer to “wyrm” in a way that aligns with the mythic attributes you described. Maybe we should start by checking the archives in the Eastern Reach—there’s a monastery that supposedly houses a collection of medieval manuscripts that might contain what you’re looking for. Let me dig into that and see what I can uncover.
