Understanding Dragon Types: Dragon types and Bird Types — 10 Comments

    • I’ve been spending a lot of time knee deep in dragon mythology from around the world, looking for all these persnickety details. Granted I’ve made a few up myself when necessary… Thanks, Catherine!

  1. Wow, these details are amazing!!! I’m curious about your sources for all these dragon types and their various characteristics.

    Thank you for sharing Elizabeth’s Commonplace Book with us–such a treat!! 😀

    Warmly,
    Susanne 🙂

    • I’ve been trolling a lot of internet sources for dragon mythologies. I try to use those whenever possible and fill in details as I need them for the story from there. One of the challenges is that so many sources contradict each other. Wyverns in one mythology and cockatrices in another and so forth. Sometimes I have to just make an editorial decision and go one.

  2. Ah yes, intelligence. One can be intelligent but not necessarily have common sense! I love the detail and thoughts Elizabeth has composed. To think this is only while she is still young and the details she has been adding ever since will certainly add to the knowledge of the Blue Order. If only her father wasn’t so blinded…but maybe that has to do with meddling and persuasion from another! Can’t wait for book 3!

    • Thanks, Carole! Elizabeth is definitely a prodigy when it comes to dragons. I think part of the problem is that her father would not necessarily be looking for such a brilliance from a daughter. From a son it might have been more noticeable given the era.

  3. Oh, I’m so glad to see that Book 2 is already published. I just bought and read Book !, and was concerned about what happens next. I could not bear to leave the story where it was at the end of Book 1!!
