A Dance with Dragonlore!

It's time to stop spending all this time on silly weak humans and focus instead on flying, fire-breathing, arch-reptiles. There's a reason so many of the dragons were named after Valyrian gods! Balerion, Vermithor, Vhagar, the Cannibal, Meleys, Meraxes, Caraxes and all their scaly kin are invited, and so are you.
