I AM A PROUD AND HEROIC DRAGON. I HAVE FAUGHT IN THE WAR OF THE ROSES AND I
HAVE BEEN TO THE OTHER PLANES. I AM 1800 YEARS OLD AND AM LOKKING FOR A MATE.
WE WOULD LIVE AT MY CAVERNS UNDER MIRTH TARAS.

<clap clap applaud>. You might not want to scream, it hurts us dragons'
superior hearing, you know. And you might want to think a bit, for it
seems in these parts that a dragoness looks for a mate by who they are
inside, not by how loud they can boast. For we are all dragons here, and
we all have accomplishments just as cool and brave, etc. and more foten
than not, those who get a mate are te ones who weren't looking fro one..

"Welcome and well met! I am Shadowmuse, mate of Jester. I'm not sure
you will find a mate like that. Most of us prefer to be courted, and
have our mates, or mates-to-be come visiting the parties and such.
Arranged matings have been out for years here. Though there is one other
golden here that I know of. Her name is the Golden Prinsess. I'm sure
she will reply, but if not, go looking."

So you're quite young then...but you don't say if you're male, female,
androgyne, or what-have-you. In fact, you don't even give your name! Not
shy are we...and do you have to shout so.

There once was a dragon that shouted,
all requests to desist were flouted.
It was obvious that
it was too obstinate
so the dragon was severely clouted.

*Goldey looks over at the shouting dragon*

"You might want a mate, but could you keep it down? Sorry, I'm taken.
Not that you'd want me as a mate any way, I'm 40cm tall, golden and
black with a strip of red hair about 5cm's long. Silverstars my mate,
you may have seen him, although his server is swallowing my mail up so
we can't talk together."

Heh... accomplishments... heh. Oh, and remember, I didn't get a mate by just
sitting around doing nothing ;) (Seems like this guy is using the Ember(tm)

Coruscen's writer opens a dimensional portal and steps through. "Well,
you must notice the structure used: 'Have Faught.' I hypothesize that
'faught' is an euphamism for some common word--Perhaps ice-cream.
yes, 'I have icecream in the War of the Roses.' That only leaves the
elementary matter of verb tenses. Hmmm..."

You dare to say that I'm bosting! I my friend saw the end to many a dragon who
said less then that. Am I to feast on your dying flesh? Do not insult me!
Since we both are dragons and I am new in this neighborhood I will let you
live. Do not cross me or any of my friends. I wish not to be responsible for
the death of a fellow dragon if we are not at war. Since Takhisis was defented
I do not wish to fight. If you are a follower of hers and wish to fight then
go find someone as arrogent as you.

Well...boasting is a strong term...perhaps we should say that modesty is
not a noticeable part of your visible personality? However before I get
too far...Hi! I'm Beth - mostly human, part dragon, and alot of kender
attitude <g>. Welcome to AFD. And now back to the post...
If you do not wish to fight, why talk about feasting on Shim'd flesh? I
know Quen would be upset if he came back from break & Shim was nothing
but skin & bones..literally. <g>
You know Tacky? Cool! :) I've never met her personally but I know one
of her sons. Do ya know Raistlin? *sigh* I haven't been to Krynn past
the Legends but I have been mucking around in the past... But I have
heard many vague things about what has been happening there.
Now,now...no one said anyone was arrogent. Shim was pointing out that in
the past, males who trumpeted their tributes from the HimandHeralayas of
the Dominance did not usually get mates. But *shrug* ya never know
who's out there is the mists of server time...lurking...waiting...

Well, welcome again & feel free to jump into posts or start your own :)

I am a male gold dragon. Reports of my involvement in the War of The Roses
never probably reached you. I am an expert in qhen. In other words I can
shapechange. I wish to live in peace. Takhisis is defeated. Raistalin has
disappear and is probably dead. Who cares anymore? Let us get on with our
lives and learn from the mistakes of our past.

Rasha nods happily. "Oh, now I understand all this mating business. I
think I'm mated with Greffindell, and Dymus, and possibly Golden
Princess. Mating is a lot more fun than I had thought!" Rasha grins and
licks the remains of cream pie off her face.

*Dymus hearing the newcomer reprimanding Shimmer can't help but speak
with this apparently tactless dragon*

Um, Golden One, or Silvermane if you prefer to be called such. I wish
to tell you that in general I am very slow to anger and it is difficult
to offend me, however with your last post you seem to have done both
in a short ammount of time. Shimm, had only tried to make a point that
almost every dragon here has done something sigfifigant in their lives
and that your proclaimed accomplishments sounded rather like boasting
to her. She has been here a long time, and is a very respeced and loved
dragon and your verbal abuse, I can assure you will probably not be
very well met. If you have had many accomplishments in your life, you
might want to consider posting a story about them. I know I would
rather hear a story than have somedragon yelling them at me and then
verbally abuse one of my friends for suggesting alternate methods of
introducing yourself.

And as for calling Shimmer arrogant, I can attest to her humility
and great worth as a valued friend. In berating her as you did you
have already assured me and I am sure many others in taking a
serious dislike to your personality. I'm not saying this can't be
corrected, I am just saying it didn't make a good first impression
and you may be hard pressed to make any long-lasting friends here
with that kind of attitude.

Additional note: You may want to brush up a little bit on your
spelling, it tends to make you look more intelligent, and people
(as well as dragons) might have a greater tendency to listen to
what you have to say more seriously.

Whether ye were boasting or not, I still care not for your attitude. E'en
though ye be a dragon and therefore mighty by nature, such haughtiness
does not stand well amongst other dragons, who are not intimidated by
your power, having just as much of their own. I do not wish to cross you
or your friends, i am a peaceful dragoness who wishes to cause no harm.
However, i thought that perhaps you might wish to be wise to the ways of
living here before your attitude got you in trouble. I think it would be
best if you wouldn't call me "arrogant", either, i was merely trying to
help. As for your insinuations that I follow Takhisis, I beg to inform
you that I am the sworn guardian of the elves of Krynn and elsewhere, and
a devoted follower of Paladine, the Platinum dragon. If you still wish to
take my advice as a challenge, you may do so if you will, for I am not
one to stop you. But since we are both good and dragons and neighbors in
this fair realm, I swear myself to the oath the good dragons took in the
War of the Lance, to keep peace and to keep out of your business until I
am personally attacked. I hope that is good enough for you...

Oooh! *raises hand* Me!!! I know one! The Companions...when the
minotaurs captured Tas, and gave him a potion that made him
eeeeevil...not just a regular kender..not even a bored kender(though when
they were torturing him, he got so bored of the old stuff that he gave
them new ideas..)..but even worse...an eeeeevil bored kender! Almost as
bad as a kender mage <g>

Albert's head pokes through a dimension door, declaring he is
still bored since Baxil's still gone. His Electrum head turns, and he
sighs.
"It has been my experience, my Dominence brothers and sisters,
that Krynn Golds tend to think that they are better than any other
dragons in existance. It seems that they pride themselves on being the
chosen color of Paladine, the god of good on Krynn. Essentially, they
are pouty old windbags who love to assert their self-appointed
privilages.
"Perhaps we should teach our new 'friend' in a manner more
becoming ourselves, teaching him that we are not at all impressed by
such displays as he has shown." A brown bag appears on the floor, and
Albert grins happily, opens the bag, and withdraws a hundred creme pies
and passes them out.
"Ready? One, two, three!" Albert's pie is the first to fly,
splattering on the nose of the gold.

Albert the suddenly bold
"Develop a unique style."

Shadowmuse, returning from her "discussion" with this "dragon" pauses and
happens to hear this exchange. She is soon rolling on the ground
laughing in agreement. She stops a moment, and thinks, "But I can't be

How about we just remind them about Pyrite? And how Fizban acted around
golds. And (best of all!!!) the fact that a kender (and not just _any_
kender...Tasslehoff Burrfoot! :) has been carrying around a statuette
(possibly the real thing) of said golden dragon. And he's not doing
anything about it! Sides..everyone knows that if Tacky hadn't taken the
blue dragons already, Fizzy would have <g>. (J.K. <g>)

Ahh... a dragon after my own splutting heart.. :) Hi Albert! I'm Beth,
human Old Fruit :) I own the plushy store, which includes plushies of
all the dragons in the Dominance..along w/ a few odds and ends. <g> So
sorry I haven't said hi earlier but college seems to be interfering with
my post reading. Would you happen to be familiar with the Kender Caldron
of Infinite Custard Pies? I know I've got it in a pouch somewhere....

*Dymus looks up* Wha?!? We're mated? When did that happen? It must
be the XX conspiracy again!

*Dymus suddenly remembering that he doesn't remember being mated looks
at Rasha and *grins* a little understanding that she doesn't quite
know what mating is just yet*

*sigh* Sorry, I was just a little shocked there, thinking I may have
just done something I dinna know about :) Ah, no, Rasha we aren't
mated this is just called friendship, and a good one at that.
Actually when dragons become mated it's between a female dragoness and
a male dragon who wish to spend their entire lives together. For a
good example just watch one of the many couples here like WalksFar and
Lillieth, or Dj and Zensis. That should give you a little more of an
idea of what it is to be mated. *grin* Hoping that helps.

Some *extremely* appealing images flash through Greffindel's head, which
he abruptly decides against discussing aloud. ;)

"Ummm... usually when folks around here talk about mating, they refer to
a long-term bond with one other for... companionship and/or *erm* breeding
purposes..."

"Yup!" Greffindel surveys his human's attempts at courtship to date.
"Stupid doesn't even *begin* to describe it..." :)

Aeto steps forward as well, looking at the two dragons talking
politely. "I'd have to agree with those statements; we are all equals
here, none more equal than any other. Furthermore, strength, in
physical ability or magical, is nearly meaningless in this group, as
to one's acceptance. Speaking as one with but limited abilities in
that regard, I continue to have no fear, for I know that others here
will stand behind me if attacked, just as I would stand behind them.

"I consider all here friends, until they prove otherwise.
Fortunately, it is rare that any come here suceed in proving
themselves something less than a friend, and even more fortunately,
they usually don't stay long. Sit, be welcome, and be relaxed. Speak
not of what good deeds you have done, but of what you would do, and be
recieved with honor."

Aeto, doing the occasional good deed
