There's a slight problem with reading the story... its not written yet.
Tried a short segment of it a week or so ago, but it was utterly horrible and inconsistent with 'thul's master plan.
Its generally a bad idea to cross those mountains, yes... 'thul could have added the label "There be dragons" to them.
oh, and the story will loan heavily from RotE dragons, only with a personal twist or five. (for now at least, no serpent/cocoon stages).
Essentially, this world is somewhat plagued by dragons. There aren't hundreds of them... there are thousands... Oh, and the majority wont be all that smart. You don't need all that many wits if you're as large as a house, spit acid and can swoop down under the cover of magic when hunting.
oh, and thanks for the name comment... its a name 'thul made for a small 3D model quite a while ago. It simply fit nicely. Now to make up names for the other cities, as well as making the rest of the settlements and such.
The problem is steering clear of direct influences from both other works and from the history of tellus. There won't be any clear links to existing cities on Tellus, nor any cities copied from other books. Might be that a few will have styles of naming inspired from such, but not without twists.
The stories are still very much in preliminary mode. Setting up the world, races, some of the characters and such. Still not figured out the hows and whys of the system of magic used.

Note:
when 'thul write in all italics, it is the lord of the three realms within 'thul speaking. A fairly egoistical, but also somewhat simple-minded dragon. Do not take such posts at face value.
