In Laude Draconum
Prologue There weren’t always Dragons in the Valley. Just like there weren’t always sewer-elves in Pasadena. Or gangs of street goblins camped out all around the tar pits on La Brea. The truth is, the San Fernando Valley was a totally dragon-free zone until just 50 years ago. That, of course, is when a stealthy little squad of pixie-mages surprised everyone by conjuring up a giant frostjette long enough for the creature to punch a hole in the Mulholland Dam up in the Hollywood Hills. The resulting flood submerged everything from Los Feliz to Beverly Hills. And the Dragons, their cozy basement office-lairs in the Financial District now marinating under ten feet of water, winged it north to the Valley, where they’ve been contentedly conducting their money laundering, extortion and related grifting enterprises ever since.
