The Federation of Pangaea has a whole lot of people that really like dragons, in fact those folks have formed the dominant subculture of the community ever since its founding. You can see examples of that in the emblems of the Federal Ministries themselves. Many folks here feel a deep kind of connection with those mythological creatures. Since dragons are important to the community, it was about time there'd be a Dragons Thread. A thread for all of us dragon-loving folks. Okay this might have sounded wrong. Or maybe it's exactly as it sounds! You decide.  |

My nan is buries near a famous dragon den The Knucker of Liminster, West Sussex. I didn't know there was such a thing! That's pretty awesome actually! Is there a legend associated to it There is a famous legend associated with it. 3 versions of the tale. In the first version, the dragon was terrorizing the area and had eaten all the maidens in the area, leaving only the King of Sussex’s daughter. The King offered his daughter’s hand in marriage to anyone who could deliver her from the dragon’s jaws. A wandering knight took up the challenge and slew the beast. Others say it was a local lad named Jim Puttock who fed the dragon an indigestible pudding, then killed it whilst it was indisposed with a bout of bellyache! He got some of the dragon’s blood on his hand and, after wiping his mouth after a celebratory pint of beer, Puttock also died. In the third variation, Jim baked a poisoned pie so huge it needed a horse and cart to transport it to the Knucker hole. The dragon ate the pie, the cart, and the horse, and subsequently died. Knucker is believed to derive from nikyr, Old Norse for water monster. The Slayer’s Slab can be found in St Mary Magdalene’s Church, which is reputedly the tomb of the dragonslayer. Taken from an article by Richard Freeman (I didn't want to write it all out). There is rumour that the Knight could have been St George, Patron Saint of the English. |
