Well, congratulations on this wonderous research, first of all. Second, I find a few issues with some of what you hypothesize: 1. I don't know if you've noticed, but the 8-point star of the DragonKin's symbol resembles a compass. (N,NE,E,SE,S,SW,W,NW). 2. I find the possibility of the existence of an inferno underneath Castle Drakan very interesting, especially because of the intense heat we know is needed to smith dragon items.I think we only assume it's a city because it's more exciting. 3. The Dragon items themselves have indeed been neglected long, but you misunderstood the impling's intention. It said "though their owners are stirring". Meaning that this huge weapon storage will not be left alone for long, as its owners are strring and will soon come to claim these weapons. 4. You missed a very important sentence, right at the beginning of p.19 of research notes 1: The DragonKin are supposed to have corrupted the very land they were on. Here lies hidden the reason for the corruption of the wilderness and Morytania, but it poses a difficulty. If the Icyene were really good in nature, why did they not heal the land? I find it hard to believe that a vampyre, no matter how strong, can have the same effect on the land as the might DragonKin. 5. Anyone tried to find out who this Barakur guy from the "my notes" book is? He may be of some importance. 6. While on the subject of names, You fail to mention the names and language of the DragonKin. We have 2 (possibly more, can't remember) DragonKin names revealed in While Guthis Sleeps, and already know the word that means "surrender", or possibly "die". Robert the Strong obviously understood that word, as his reply was "Never!". Which brings up another point. Is it possible that humans could once speak the language of the DragonKin? 7. The examine of the winged bones in the Bounty Hunter crater said "Perhaps". How can you be sure that those are, indeed, the bones of a dead DragonKin?! 8. The DragonKin may have also been serving an evil God in Jas, and Guthix may have restored balance by taking the stone. Guthix, after all, is the God of bakance. It is possible that Jas stole the stone from someone else, by the way. Just a thought... 9. The scales referred to in Postbag 10 may well me the hexagonal scales on the stone of Jas, again, just a thought... Cheers, Mage Hat
