Elderling Creations Theory (Spoilers through all the books and Dragon Haven)

[Liquid Ice]

Didn't they imply the skill was a by-product left over from the method of communication between humans and dragons? I assume anyone a dragon chose to communicate with in that way would become "skilled." That would be interesting, more skilled people popping up.

Yeaaaa I think I remember that, good point. So skilling isn't needed to talk to dragons but you can use it to communicate to them in one way or another. (as Nettle did)

So from Dragon Haven....


If you spend to much time around a dragon (even when its in wizard wood?) You'll start changing to an "Elderling" or at least sort of.

You can't become a full Elderling unless you guided by a dragon (Though I remember one dragon saying on rare occasions you don't need a dragon, but that's very rare)

A dragon controls the major affects of your physical traits. (Don't know about mental)

By "making" an Elderling the dragon goes through changes as well. (What exactly I don't remember)


There was also some information of abominations. I forget exactly what that was about. Something to do with the humans? Or the dragon? Or both, dunno.
Anyone remember?
