> Our wise Fiosaiches of old, our soothsayer, told us a terrible prophecy. One day we would have a choice given to us by a dragon: to accept his protection, we would have to travel far to a new land, rich in trees and game. We could fish, farm, or hunt to our content. Both riches and glory would be ours, but in the midst of the dragons who are jealous. Half will perish, but to the other half will be given even greater glory.
