The Language of Dragons
Arrival in Kredashmi
It is believed that the dragons first came to Kredashmi 324 HE. Blown to the shores during a violent storm, it is said that many of those who sheltered in Drachenruhebaai (or 'Dragonsrest Bay') were exhausted and injured. It is not clear what country they fled from beyond the Unending Sea, or what type of persecution they were fleeing.
Approached by members of the Rhalen Clan, the dragons were presented with meat and water, and eventually allowed themselves to be tended to by Kredasene healers.

I tried to like this article but I can't! I think you may have forgotten a /row somewhere maybe?
Hey! Apologies for the late response, I just hadn't had time to check WA between starting a new job and fighting awful morning sickness. I think I may have sorted the issue, but please do let me know if there's still a problem.
No worries! Hope everything's ok :) Really enjoyed this article, particularly the idea that humans could understand the language but probably couldn't speak it.
