I have a question. If you drink enough in the marketplace or look at the sun or moon too long, is it possible to mistake a airship for a dragon? Sometimes I think I see dragons flying around the marketplace but im sure thats not possible, especially with all this airship traffic in the air and the fact that the coin lords wouldn't want these dragons flying anywhere near stormreach due to the threat they pose on the population. Besides, if I saw a dragon fly around the marketplace, im sure it would do more than fly around...

Dragons are a common sight over Stormreach. Keep in mind that on Eberron dragons are an elder race and much revered. Having them flying about overhead is usually not a cause for alarm.

There's already a lot of dragons in the Marketplace.

Kear, Cydonie, the whole delegation from Argonnessen...

And yes, you will see dragons flying overhead now and then.

You mean Velah would or would not attack stormreach?

Velah would not attack Stormreach.
Her goal was to get into the Vault of Night, get information, and get out. She failed on the last part of that, however.

I'd love to see a dracolich Velah. I bet she's ****ed. I've no doubt she'd attack Stormreach then ;-)

I'd love to see The Truthful One. You know, that dracolich that's been hinted at ever since forever?
Not in U10 or U11 though, nope, he's not in those. /sigh

I remember dragons being seen regularly over the marketplace long ago. I've not seen one in forever though. But i always look up when I'm around, just hoping to get a glance (and ss) of one.

There was a SS of it happening several years ago on the Mabar forums. (yes, Mabar, before the server merge bringing Mabar and Argonessen together to form the franken-server referred to as Mabar-Gonessen)

If I ever get my own SS, I'll be sure to post it here.

I have seen them myself (http://i52.tinypic.com/2a8ivmf.jpg). Was quite some time ago though.

Are you sure about that. Birds are also nice until they make a mess :D.

Now imagine what kind of mess a dragon would do.

Yep not as many dragons through the sky as walking among us.
Can picture the young thief starting their pickpocketing career right outside lordsmarch bank.
All day in the tents for mere coppers, but hey, there's some rich looking elves by the fountain, maybe they carry a plat coin or two.

Do dragons do their business mid-flight like birds though? :P

As intelligent beings, I think they'd be more considerate.

Th opening splash screen of Stormreach has a dragon perched in the foreground. Am I correct that it was not there prior to the U9 update?

If I were a dragon... Well, it might be more a matter of aiming...

you are correct...

I noticed it on lamannia before the update went live, and checked the live load screen for it...

Why aim?

You're familiar with Area of Effect and Splash Damage, right?

Correct, it wasn't there before. Also, i went to the harbor to see if I could find the dragon/statue, and of course, i was unable to spot it. Perhaps i should go back and check again, haven't been back out there in a few.

Yes... but if you were in the dragons position, as much fun as splash damage could be, wouldn't you rather get the one who stole your loot and let the commoner standing next to them get away clean....

Hohoho-my first sighting was a White Dragon that I capped, this time, I capped a Red one.
Have they been sighted other places than the market? At first I thought it was an airship, and then I scrambled to screen cap it.
