Featured article


Dragons

Dragons are solitary, winged reptiles with unmatched might, great knowledge, and lives that span many centuries. They were hunted by the Empire and are now nearly extinct.

Appearance

Dragons look something like very large, winged lizards. They have a long, sinewy body which they sometimes coil up in the manner of a snake.

A dragon's stature varies not only with its age, but also with its power, and in particular, the size of its hoard. The most powerful dragons have grown to heights of more than 25 feet, and lengths of more than 100 feet, from head to tail.

Dragons are covered in scales, generally of green and red hue. The scales of a fully-grown dragon are very difficult to pierce, and can withstand extreme temperatures and strong magical forces. They are often sought by enchanters as a powerful source of enchantment.

Tip of the day


Communication

For your convenience and improved efficiency, the Encyclopedia Staff (me) has installed a multitude of tools that serve better exchange and communication within the Encyclopedia community. If you have something important to say or ask, don't hesitate to use as many of them at once if you are able to; the more people will be likely to responde.

Firstly, the Encyclopedia Board, a basic punBB installation, is the official message forum of this place. Secondly, you can use the Community Portal and the Talk pages of each article to ask questions right here on the site.

Thirdly, I set up a channel on the SorceryNet IRC network, named #ermariana.

Fourtly, I can, as always, be emailed at arancaytar.ilyaran@gmail.com. If you want to look official, you can send it encyclopedia@ermarian.net, but that just forwards it.

Over and out! :)
