The Legend of the Dragon's Watch

From the frost-kissed peaks of the Skyfang Mountains to the whispering fjords of the Serpent's Coast, the tales of dragons have echoed through generations of Norlanders. These majestic creatures, embodiments of raw power and ancient wisdom, have long held a place of reverence and awe in our sagas. But the stories also speak of a time when the balance between man and dragon teetered on the precipice of chaos. It was then, in an age shrouded in mist and legend, that the Dragon's Watch was forged.

Not born of kings or conquerors, the Dragon's Watch arose from the hearts of ordinary folk – hunters, shieldmaidens, rune-carvers – united by a shared vision: to understand the dragons, not simply to slay them. They sought not to bend the dragons to their will, but to walk alongside them, respecting their power and learning from their ancient knowledge.

The first members of the Watch braved treacherous terrains, venturing into the dragon's lairs not with swords drawn, but with offerings of respect and understanding. They learned the language of the winds, the whispers of the earth, and the secrets hidden in the dragon's fiery breath. They discovered that dragons, like the Norlanders themselves, were bound by honor, driven by instinct, and capable of both fierce wrath and profound compassion.

Through generations of patient observation and courageous diplomacy, the Dragon's Watch earned the trust of these magnificent beasts. They became mediators between dragon and humankind, ensuring that the skies remained free of needless conflict, and that the wisdom of the dragons was not lost to the world.

The symbol of the Dragon's Watch – the intertwined runes of courage, wisdom, and balance – became a beacon of hope, a reminder that even the most fearsome creatures can be understood, and that harmony can be found even amidst the clash of scales and steel.

Today, the legacy of the Dragon's Watch continues. We, the inheritors of this noble tradition, strive to uphold the values of our forefathers: courage in the face of the unknown, wisdom in the pursuit of understanding, and balance in our interactions with all living things. We are the shield against ignorance, the voice of reason, and the guardians of the delicate peace that exists between man and dragon. We are the Dragon's Watch, and our story is only just beginning.
