But I don't think Aspire's dragon is cosmere anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yeah, not Cosmere, though my universe does have it own version of spren and bonds. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Condensation Posted December 21, 2020 Report Share Posted December 21, 2020 Well, I can't wait to read more. Oh, @Mist, weren't you drawing dragons? Why not try one with a realistic wingspan? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not try one with a realistic wingspan? yes please, I need more art of this. Also, I'm putting my ideas for magic systems and creatures in creators corner for advice and ideas, so you'll be able to get more in that regard. Still a long way from writing it, still have a lot more research. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's probably not really all that much scientific, but it's still interesting. I hope this isn't considered a necro, but I have read Flight of Dragons (it actually was one of my favorite movies as a kid, and the book was one of the first fantasy novels I read.) How it is explained there is that Dragons eat limestone which interacts with stomach acid to produce hydrogen which then helps with lift, and also is the source of their fire. Interestingly, in this system, the more fire breathing they do, the less they are able to fly. Yes there is some hand waving with the involved science, but it is a neat way to get around the wing size issue. Interestingly, in the cartoon, Dragons have more rounded body shapes to account for the hydrogen fill, especially when they are getting ready for take off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
