*spoilers all books* Dragon Haven, Enjoy it? Hate it?

[Farseer]

Brilliant points, Lord Punctual, and, I have to say (despite my previous lengthy post somewhat to the contrary !), that I agree that volcanic activity definitely had a huge role to play in the changes of the river...ahem, it helps that I've just finished a re-listen of certain portions of DH , though I wish I had the books here with me or a Kindle version of DH available!

During the huge flooding of the river which involved the dragons and their keepers etc, one of the dragons had experienced a memory that had involved one of their dragon ancestors flying around an erupting volcano...the dragon had gone off alone there, into known danger, because it was curious to see what would happen when the spewing lava met with the vastness of ice that surrounded the volcano below. Of course, the dragon was shocked to discover that huge regions of ice melted immediately on contact, and all of this continued on in a raging river torrent of water, ice and ash...

Love it, LP ! Keep going...I can't wait to hear your theories on the Elderlings' demise!!).
