Sacred Texts

Bar

Because some dragons are linked inherently to specific sacred texts that do not necessarily have a physical location to attribute them to, it is important to have this section to describe them. While some dragons may be described in sacred texts, they may also have a physical location (for instance, Bel) associated with them. Those dragons are under the Dragons of Fame section that corresponds to where they are from.
