I will certainly keep an eye out for those. I'm particularly concerned about what this may mean for Liora. I can't say if she's happy in this world, but I'm sure she at least enjoys not being constantly targeted.

[Though he's somewhat concerned that the Hands of Decay would actively try to avoid him on account of him being a big scary dragon.]

The Serthis are one of several species that have united in a conflict against dragonkind, which we collectively refer to as the Beastclans. The other Beastclan species are Centaurs, Talonoks, Longnecks, Harpies, and Maren.

The Serthis in particular have been dangerous to us. There are some that are skilled with magic, and others that wield dual blades and spears. The Serthis had killed several dragons from my clan, including my sons. In one attack, they attacked our lair one night and poisoned one of our clan, Amadeus. He would have died if Orphne, our apothecary, hadn't managed to develop a cure in time.

Their latest attack was when they captured Shayla. I went to fight them, and took quite a few cuts from their blades to get her back.
