Sparring

Another day of chores for the adepts of the Dragon Archives. They are supposed to clear the paths of the courtyard after a snowy night, but one of them thought some sparring before the trial of strength might be more beneficial. As she were going around challenging everyone, it started to become clear why she had so much trouble with the trial of discipline. Once they complete all of the trials ahead of them, they can join the lore keepers protecting the ancient knowledge of the long lost dragons.

Hot Springs

After a long day of scouting the forests around the mountains, the wolves stop by the hot springs to ask the locals about the rumors in these parts, and to rest their legs while they're at it. Apparently, there are some really interesting rumors in the mountains about something that no has ever seen before. A dragon! The wolves are eager to hear more, and luckily, one of the locals seems to know a lot about this rumor.

Dragon

The rumors about the dragon were started by this adventurer. According to him, it happened when he was on his way through the mountains and suddenly found himself in a snow storm. As he searched for shelter he found a cave he though would be fine, but then he realized he's not the only one in that place. There was a large, intimidating, but surpringly kind creature, that didn't resemble any of the folks he knew. She let him to stay there for a short while until the storm stopped, and entertained him with stories of the past. That's when she claimed to be a dragon.
Of course, no one he told this story believed so far, and some of them even claim he just met a mountain goat in that cave and wanted to make the story more interesting.
