Um... Hi?

party at the pizza parlor :]

look at my ko-fi. https://ko-fi.com/cfrog

If I want dragons to be part of the Gods side of things, more unknowable beast of power than cool animal, then Hephestia is just ASKING for a dragon. Her associations are volcanoes and lightning and earthquakes, those are The dragon elements. They could also fit nicely with the many river gods in the old religion. Rivers are already dragons (doesnt elaborate).

If dragons are more a animal in the setting (my preference), maybe they are associated with Hephestia, like how Greek gods had animals (Athena with owls, Poseidon with horses, etc). Perhaps dragons show up in myths and imagery with the gods, and scholars like the magus go ah yes symbolism. But it turns out dragons are very real, they're just sooo uncommon now. Maybe thats whats really living under the sacred mountain :3c (myth about Hespira in QoA) Dragons that aing beautifully and scare miners.

Other places dragons could hide: all over the mountain range. Of course theyre more numerous in Eddis, where they are more respectful of myth and their land isnt so cultivated into farmland. The dystopia, grazing on lava rock. In the ocean, hiding deep down between the islands.

WHY HAVE I SEEN NO ONE TALK ABOUT HOW THE GRACE SCULPTURE LOOKS LIKE THE LITTLE DUDE FROM THIS MEME
