The eastern mountains, the summit from which you fell, finally appear in the distance. You are still unclear how or why you ended up so far, but now your thoughts are only on reconnecting with civilization. It’s been days since your last proper meal, and your partner dragon seems equally as hungry. You find each other periodically exchanging suspicious looks.
There’s a research outpost on the nearest mountain peak, this is your new destination. Immediately before you, however, is a massive series of raised structures jutting out of the earth like jagged teeth.
On closer examination, you recognize the area: Dodoron’s Rest. This labyrinthine natural landmark was used by mages in the elder days, and they revered it for its latent power. Indeed, Dodoron’s Rest is a grave, the moldering remains of a fallen Lindwurm.
Reluctantly, you carve into the titanic bones. You know that within, edible and highly-nutritious marrow still resides. It reeks, but you eat it nonetheless. The smell attracts a group of uncanny serpentine dragons. You don’t recognize them, but you know enough not to overstay your welcome. You choke down some more marrow and carry on towards the mountains.
