Ya know, even though Solomon says this stuff, I think it's a bad idea to have the game named Realms.

<<Hey about about a few dragons in the next war?>>

Yea I would love to see some people enveloped in flames running around before they crumbel to ground.

I laughed and laughed during the greater fist eruptions back with that mul-What-it WM dude. DOn't remember his proper name but I do remember lava balls or whatever landing all over and flamming people running around. Man that was a hoot!

>>Why it's called "DragonRealms", when...
>>Something is missing?

>Erm... could it be because Lanival was referred to as the "Dragon" and he was the one that formed the 5 >provinces? ::hums innocently::

I allways thought that pretty much covered it, myself.

Though, one must admit, even the Gaurdians sound a little more 'active' than anyone has seen. And hey, if Solomon couldn't think up hokey taglines, nothing would ever get done at Simu.

"Glacis is best known for saving the life of Lanival the Redeemer. He is likely to have inspired Lanival's plan to reforge the broken Empire, and that association is why the Five Provinces we know today are sometimes referred to as the Dragon's Realms."

We'll be getting dragon elemantles that breathe blackfire and shoot enchanted broadswords out of their eyes. <takes frogspawn's thunder>

The Dragons have all been hiding under the mountains of Forfedhdar. They sneak out at night and keep the passes blocked.

>>(A) There is a dragon already in DR, anyone can see it...its frozen though, up near Stone Clan, down in the Beissworm area.

Judging by the descriptions I remember of that, I've always thought it was a full grown version of whatever beisswurms are babies for. Definitely huge and toothy, but not necessarily a dragon.

Although if you want to be technical, angiswaerd means 'snake-dragon' so we've got some there.

Ahh, actually Sol, old boy, ahh, you may have forgotten... A baby dragon DID land in Arthe Dale a few years back and was killed by a mass of bloodthirsty hunters. Presumably, it mama is around somewhere.... and hopefully did not find out who did the killing.

Well, dragons have been in DR several times.

One of Ceta's fondest memories and most special days is the day she met a dragon face to face. Yygis was his name, and he had the loveliest multicolored scales (though my spelling may be off, it's been a lot of years). The poor dear had somehow managed to stuff himself into the empaths sitting room, and injured his wings in the process. I know I can't be the only one who remembers that day. That same dragon made several appearances around Crossing area that month. Was a whole lot of fun. And I think most people treated the rp opportunity as they should have, and nearly all were respectful and awestruck.

Of course, it was a different land way back then, I imagine if one showed up now, people would try and kill it. Sad.

Looking forward to the new RP opportunities that this hint seems to imply though.

<<Along those lines, Cet, do you recall the time a guardian wandered out of its chasm and folks opened a moongate to help it get back? I wonder how fast it would die today?--Wulfcat>>

I wonder why people alter their entire RPing frame of mind when they know there is a GM around. I mean you kill guardians only in the chasm, and give them milk, cookies and moongates everywhere else? Nice consistency there.

P.S. My personal favorite is the gargoyle that people talked into commiting suicide since there was no way it could triumph over all the hunters.

>Along those lines, Cet, do you recall the time a guardian wandered out of its chasm and folks opened a moongate to help it get back? I wonder how fast it would die today?

Will critters use moongates?

Funny story, a MM friend and I use to ride the currents from the seerah wreck to port walk via moongate. We kept trying to find la'heke in a water room to see if they wash out with us .. we never got that done, but had a blast, and a lotta laughs trying. We surprised more than one person with our surfing. <g>

Yygis was a GM and that was just his "persona", much like Zanafrat was a Demon and Zakalwe (I think) was a Drake.

Seeing him around the game meant he was on duty answering assists. :)

<<Wasn't Galiot a Drake? >>

You are correct, sir! It WAS Galiot! I knew it was one of them and I always got them confused. ::grin::

<<Especially considering that I would think it was a safe bet that a large portion of the playing population doesn't know who (or what) a Lanival is (was). ;)

I would hope that it is not a large portion.

Heck something like 1/2 or more of the RL population can't find countries on the map!

Uhm.. every time I've ever seen a rock guardian outside of it's normal habitat.. it still tried to attack and kill me. So yeh.. call attacking it first a conditioned response.

~Thesalonius

<<Starked, The consistancy is this, in the Chasm they attack you. Outside the chasm they do not attack and are obviously lost and looking for something. So, do you attack to defend you self or for the pleasure of the kill? --Wulfcat>>

I attack for both reasons. However, if I run into a Rock Guardian it is dying no matter where I am, or where it is. Plain and simple, I view them as an enemy. Same as I would view a Goblin messenger, for they are also my enemy. Unless it was a funny goblin messenger, then I may not kill it as I like to be amused.

Allowing yourself to change how you view critters due to OOC knowing that a GM is controlling the critter is weak RPing IMO. And my first reaction to critters is to attack them.

starkad

Yeah and the kobold was killed! The log from the boggle event is hilarious.

Those pipes are way too long!..., so they are really named after a real person.. hmmm. If he comes back, maybe he can shorten those pipes. <wink>

Even a better reason to bring Lanival back, if so many are ignorant of the history of the game...

Without reading the other posts in this thread, I want to ask my question.

By what I get from this one, there may be an influx in dragons and a large decrease in rarity? Wouldn't more common dragons, being peoples pets and stuff, decrease the mystery and ferocious power that dragons represent? Besides... I believe that dragons are some of the most intelligent beigns that would be around, if they follow ANYTHING like the foundations that have been set in so many other books/games/etc, they would control their fates, control whether or not adventurers find them.

I wish I could find a post that was made in the neverwinter nights forums before the game was released. The game has nothing to do with this, but the post made about dragons was extremely well thought out and gave the dragons a sense of awe and power not seen anywhere else, and thats the way things should stay I say. If we start having dragon pets... dragon monsters to kill(aka nEverquest), and the mystery and power is eroded... whenever I hear the words 'dragon' i'm probably just going to yawn in boredom, cause it would be a commonplace thing.

This post probably made no sense. Thats what I get for not thinking it out and just writing what comes to mind!
