When I started this project, I was really trying to figure out why dragons had all the characteristics of collective consciousnesses and with the release of Fontaine, I think I have a slightly more plausible idea.

Special thanks to Roozevelt, Schwan and Sabre for putting up with my nonsense while I was making this.
