Library: The truth

A certain former immortal who shall remain Aaleji wrote a book about my trials and tribulations with a dragon named tiamat. At best we can call his acount fiction. Here is the truth. In my days of mortality, back in the spring of 1991, Tiamat and I had a wonderful hate-hate relationship going. Back in the old world there were only 19 levels, and in order to become immortal one had to either kill Tiamat - by far the most feared monster in the old world, or spend 200+ task points. Task points back then were EARNED, not bought. Goon made the 'Tiamat quest', Zonni maintained it. Some say Goon and Zonni were one and the same, but such digressions shall be left to another tome. Tiamat was best faced with a quest fashion blade, made from the parts of Tiamat's dragon guards bodies. A foot, a head, tooth, claw, and tail, place them in the sacred fountain on the night the gate opened and the blade was yours. That just gave you a slightly better chance. I faced Tiamat 7 times. 1 time a teleportation device fumbled, and I was in the heart of Tiamat's lair with nothing to properly mount a defense or offense. Another time overzealous party members destroyed the quest-bladed with a misplaced sacrifice. Neither time was it my choice to face Tiamat without the fabled 'Tiamatslayer'. Never was I so brazen as to not be without fear facing the Dragon Queen. How does the battle end each time? Seven valiant efforts, seven unsatisfying draws. Neither Tiamat nor I could claim a kill. In that I consider myself somewhat victorious. The Heart of Tiamat eluded me, but Tiamat never tasted my blood either. **Firefox
