Re: Earth Bond chapter 10 - discussion (Spoilers)

There seems an almost unnatural eagerness amongst the dragons for Jenny to learn Magic. First Hinado, now Sessara are determined to help Jenny learn, even though Sessara said "Never reveal your strengths and weaknesses, even to your friend. Your friend today may be your enemy tomorrow" As ...

Re: Earth Bond, chapter 8 discussion [Spoilers]

Well, for a start Jenny is going to need a copy of "On Divers Arts" by Theophilus http://www.amazon.co.uk/Divers-Arts-Dover-Art-Instruction/dp/0486237842 Most of it is very readable, and the techniques are recognizable to any artist or craftsperson today, as long as you avoid gem carving a...

Re: Earth Bond, chapter 7 discussion [Spoilers]

What might the "most powerful magic of all" entail: My guess is that it is self-evolution, adapting to new circumstances. The Earth Dragons will be eating rock to stretch their supplies, so suddenly they will find that they can gain nutrition from the rock. In the past, they saw something...

Earth Bond - Medieval Dragons

I realise that this is a "different universe" from ours, but this might give some inspiration: http://bestiary.ca/beasts/beast262.htm Worth looking through the gallery. There are also historic links between Dragons and Elephants, as well as Panthers in the bestiaries (Many pictures are fro...

Re: what going on ? [site / server problem]

I always have felt that a spherically shaped universe to be wrong and that a spinning torroid shape would be uniquely better. Or even a klein bottle shape. Or something like a mobius strip but with everything contained within a multi dimensional space so that one side loops back to itself on the ot...

Re: what going on ? [site / server problem]

You are too conventional and set in your ways. Yup. Not likely to change, either. :) Given the variety of ways mankind has used for maps, I wonder what the Faey would use?
