"So who is Malkezdic?" asked Devron, deciding that learning all he could about the foe that even gave Adrius pause for thought was someone worth knowing a little more about. "You say he is or was a dragon."
"A dragon of great power and if possible, intellectual genius not to be rivaled by most men," replied Adrius. "You see, at the dawn of the Third Age, there was not much but barren wasteland between the sea and the heights of the mountain peaks to the west, and in that time the people living here and there on the land were not but barbarian tribes compared to the civilizations of today. One of the great dragons that ruled the kingdoms of man and elves, the manipulators of progress and culture, decided that he would found a kingdom in this land built upon the strength of man. This dragon, Malkezdic, decided to begin his great work by building a great forge, wherein he could fashion artifacts that would be of great use to the races of man."
