Dragon Tooth Platform was located in a most ingenious spot.
It lay at the junction of a dragon's neck and torso, at the center of the shoulder blades between its wings. When a dragon beat its wings in flight, Dragon Tooth Platform was perfectly sheltered beneath them. This ensured the rider's safety; only when the dragon's back was exposed would the rider be threatened.
The gap left between the wings and neck was the dragon rider's attack zone.
A dragon lance did not need to be longer than the dragon's body, because dragon battle qi could be projected outward. The lance merely had to be able to extend through the gaps created by the wings' movements and aim in every direction.

Thus, a dragon was the most perfect mount for a knight, and a dragon rider was the finest example of rider and mount becoming one. A dragon's power combined with a human's wisdom made dragon riders the pinnacle force that ruled the world.
