Post by wriman »

i've been reading the book Eragon and was wondering if the descriptions of dragons were anywhere near what real dragons looked like :?

The dragons in the books sound like your every day, run of the mill, stock modrn fantasy dragons, but Saphira in the movie was very interesting in that she had birdlike wings, like some of the oldest depiected dragons in history, from Mesopotamia, like the dragon that offered Adape eternal live, that would later evolve into the story of Adam Eve and the serpent in the Bible.
The Draconic-Chronicler is the author of a soon-to-be-released book about the real dragon-servants (Seraphim) of the Judao-Christian theologies that have inspired world-wide dragon legends.

so basically you're saying she was normal in an old fashion way...
If you were to juggle a lion, and a house cat, the end result would look something like a tattered chunk of red fabric. The cat would scratch anything within reach, and the lion would just eat you. The lesson to learn? Make sure you eat your spinach.

your point?

dragonic chronicler said that old fashion dragons had bird-0like wings, and last i checked, birds had feathers......
