Enya learned a great deal from Heragol and Barrogel about the current state of Tarlonnd and the Holy Dragon Duchy, from the reconstruction of social order after the war to the present living conditions of the dragons, and even the names she knew that still remained in the world or had already passed on—actually, there were many things she did not need to ask about.

That is what the 'true dragons' in my memories looked like..."
