And it's the other way around - The Dark One (supposedly Verjigorm) created the Horrors, and by accident the first dragon. It was the dragon that created the namegivers. At least that's the story from the Horrors book... The mana cycle was supposed to be natural, I think.

And if I read mountainshadow corectly, the first dragon was the one with white scales etc...

Yes, in contrast to The Dark One and the Horroi (Horrors). It might be a storytelling trick, or it might be true. I should check out the ED1 Dragons book, to find out.

EDIT: It seems I no longer have the book. Oh, well. I'll bet someone else does and is willing to check that part out.

I'm pretty sure I've got it lying around somewhere, Kot; when I find it, I'll throw it up on Azziewatch and post a link.

[The_Gun_Nut]

Let us know here when you do, I'd like to go look-see.

[Patrick Goodman]

Sure thing. It won't be for a couple weeks at least, though; I've got a couple of paying gigs that I have to pay attention to since I've kind of blown one deadline and another is...looming.

There's actually an Earthdawn book (the GM book I think) on Google Books and I read that bit about Verjigorm... and how the first dragon was a mutated horror.

I must have confused All-Wings and the deliberate act of turning down the mana level with something else.

This one?

That's the one I've got, Sichr. You've saved me time and effort, and I thank you for it.

[Sichr]

You deserve nothing less.

Okay........What about the hint in Dunkelzhan's Will about how dragons were alien?  That could make a better plot device.

They're Horrors themselves actually. Read the conversation above.

Or better, read the Dragons of the 4th world sourcebook
link you can possibly find...above

All I have to say is this: Verjigorm makes Ghostwalker very, very nervous. And the only reason I don't go farther than that is because I don't want to get eaten.

...or hired by some IE lunatic, as I`ve heard recently...

Wait. WHAT?

It's not quite clear if Nightslayer or Dayheart should be considered the 'first Dragon'. Nightslayer was made by Verjigorm and therefore per definition a Horoi but the first of his nine tears turned into the first (second?) real dragon. The other eight turned into the 'young races' or 'namegiver' races.

As of now I haven't found any clue on Dayhearts coloration though white would be a good guess. Nightslayer was coloured like the nightsky and therefore a very very dark blue.
