Parole del Drago

Leather and Bone Tome
 

Overview

 
A lengthy collection of paper masterfully bond with leather and bone. It appears ancient, even more ancient than the ruins you have encountered, and must be preserved by some kind of magic. It is written in an unfamiliar tone of Basari.
 

Quick Analysis

  The tome details several lengthy conversations between a young 'Ruk' and a nameless Dragon. The conversations are philosophical and interspersed with allegory and parable, with a recurring emphasis on how one ought to live. In the end the 'Ruk' and the Nameless Dragon agree on a Path of the Dragon, a means to live one's best life, and is granted a piece of the Dragon's flame.   Numerous incidental comments made in the tome may yield valuable historic clues to this ancient society.

Notable Quotes

  "The second step: Concentrate on what you have to do. Fix your eyes on it. Remind yourself that your task is to be a good human being; remind yourself what nature demands of people. Then do it, without hesitation, and speak the truth as you see it. But with kindness. With humility. Without hypocrisy."
