Is anyone a weapon-maker here?

Ignore my next message until you are alone or are able to control your reaction.

Queen.

And yours?

General.

You are the same as our host - I must admit I'm unfamiliar with the idea of queens, but is this not a danger to you?

YOU'RE GONNA GET MORE ICONS FOR HER SOON WITH THE FINALE!!

[dorzalta]

Well met, general.

My rule is nothing like our host's. A dragon knows no fear, and I know better than to announce my status or my true identity.

[dorzalta]

She does not, but what monarch would when strength is valued above all else? It was the same in my husband's tribe, when he lived.

Tell me more of this system.
