Bah, kids today, have to have everything handed to them, can't do any problem solving or puzzling out of their own.  Can't have any mysteries or anything.  Everything has to be predigested pap.

You'd think with Shadowrun it'd be different, considering the source material and where it comes from.

Hey, you dang kids get off my conspiracy:-p

It kinda makes sense if the passions are related or are the Egyptian gods of old and considering what Set (god in the form of a snake or you could also say a Worm(dragon)) did to his brother it is not that surprising that dragons stay the heck away.  Hey does anyone know if there are any Dragons in Ireland?

If there are, my "Irish Republican Army in Exile" (IRAiE) just got a whole lot scarier!

Yes, we know.

No, there are not.

Hmmm?  I wonder if the lack of Worms in Ireland are do to St. Patrick or some Celtic passions?  Speaking of passions I wonder if those in Egypt are going to get more involved considering that the worship of the old gods is becoming more prevalent in the land of the Pharaohs?

It's Snakes in Ireland, not Wyrms.  And, due to Tir na NoG being created, it's more likely the Immortal Elves (Who were awake) making sure that the Dragons of Ireland never woke up again.

Or never bedded down there to begin with.  Wales is so much nicer a place anyhow.  :P

Maybe they know something we don't, and hope to protect the company when the dragons wake up?

Which in medieval times covered a lot of ground.

Technically, the Lampdon (sp?) Worm was a serpent, but is treated as a dragon in folklore....

I was using a little bit of literary license.  This is all fiction anyway.  Chill out and have some fun with it.

Just reading through Dragons of the Sixth World and it says that Masaru has visited Egypt a few times, though in disguise due to the anti-dragon sentiment of the region.

So the curse at least doesn't strike them dead (though this could be quite out of date).

Either that or the passions did not have enough power at that time to detect him or do anything about him running around Egypt.
