 +Most dragons encountered in the current Latitude record appear to trace back to the far-northern [[campaigns:latitude_history:places:aetherstone-islands|Aetherstone Islands]], where [[campaigns:latitude_history:lore:aetherstone|Aetherstone]] is mined and small dragons eat the floating stones. That origin helps explain why dragons are rarely seen in the settled fjordlands now: the surviving populations are concentrated far to the north, and the location of their islands is deliberately protected by those who know it.
