Dragons, Dragonfire, and Sorcery: A Guide to the Defenses and Weapons of Dragonstone

Dragons, Dragonfire, and Sorcery: A Guide to the Defenses and Weapons of Dragonstone is a 2016 Lysene book detailing the weapons, some of them near mythical, of Dragonstone. The book details many of Dragonstone's both unknown and well-known weapons, including but not limited to dragons, their fire, and some of the secrets behind Tyroshi fire, along with other magical facts. Many other secrets were kept from the book to ensure the safety of the weapons.

Introduction
When the words "dragons", "dragonfire", and "sorcery" are spoken to most people, they would think of the fantasy stories of old. Yet many do not realize that these actually exist, and only a few select nations have been able to ride dragons. Few do realize only a few countries can harness magic to their advantage. In this book, we will detail you almost every weapon seen nowhere else in Antarctica.

Chapter 1: Dragons
The dragon is an ancient creature that has been both used by and hunted in history by many nations. Many hunted dragons in the middle ages, either for fame and glory, or for their magical properties, including dragon blood, dragon hide, and dragon bones. This drove the dragon race nearly to extinction. Today, they only survive in certain places in Antarctica. The only place where a large number of dragons are known to live is Dragonstone.

Training and riding a dragon is difficult, as the dragon will only accept riders of a certain group. One of these groups, the Quendi, who were a branch of the High Penguin race, settled in Dragonstone and began raising dragons. Like mentioned earlier, a dragon has many magical properties, and are a deadly force in battle, though the rise of technology has lessened this. However, dragons being able to talk is a common misconception that was developed during the middle ages.

Since the middle ages, dragons have been heavily regulated in Dragonstone, to protect their welfare and prevent misuse. Today, only the highest government officials, nobles, and military commanders have been able to ride, much less own a dragon. However, when used in battle, a dragon can be a deadly force, and deals a decent amount of damage even for modern forces.

Chapter 3: Sorcery
The use of magic on Dragonstone is known far and wide, and has existed nearly since its founding. The full extent of the use of magic on Dragonstone is highly classified and only known to a select few, though the use of magic is under tight government restriction. Government officials who use magic are known to have wands, specially crafted to do the most sophisticated of spells, and are much more powerful than the normal.

Even the full extent of magic is unknown, though it is carefully studied, examined, and used by the Department of Magic, a secretive government organization whose headquarters is unknown to all but the highest government officials. Many top commanders in the Dragonstone Armed Forces are also known to use magic, though their magic is minimal and vastly inferior to the type used by the Department of Magic in terms of strength. The magic used by the Department of Magic is only for the most dire of situations.

It is no secret that magic is involved in the defenses of Dragonstone, which can deflect many non-magical weapons and some magical attacks. However, the full extent of the Dragonstone magical defenses has never been tested. It is said there is a magical force field around the entirety of the island, along with a multitude of protection and defenses spells that are classified.
