Dragons of Hourglass

Golden Journal #7

From the Journals of Golden Heart, He of Hourglass, Firstclaw of the Clan of Hourglass, Dragon Keeper of Harmony.

Entry #7

(3 days after Clan inception)

I hope He of Hourglass finally found a spot for his hoard. So far he has moved four times in the three days since he Choose. I suppose it was to be expected with the type of hoard he will have. With Hourglass in ruins finding the right facilities must be irritating. I’m shocked I haven’t had to go calm him down because of it. Once I’m sure he found the right spot I will show him where the Treasury is located. I don’t think needing to have to keep moving gems around while searching for the right place to hoard will improve his mood.

If this place is going to be the home of a dragon clan the city is going to need to cleaned up at minimum. Rebuilt would be best. Either way it’s going to be a long term project given the size of the city and the fact that there is only two dragons so far. I know He of Harmony will help but that still will not put a dent in all the work that needs to be done.

With that in mind I think I finally found a lead in finding out more about the non functioning defense array. Assuming that the ruling council would have access to the defense array and to possible a book on it’s operation I have began a search in the homes of the final council members (at least I think they are the final members). I found them listed on a scroll in the council chambers.

On those same lines, while I was in the council chambers I observed He of Harmony busy with a piece of charcoal drawing a spell matrix design that takes up nearly the entire floor below the council bench. I can see now why it would take nearly two months to design.

So far this has been an interesting start for the first dragon clan in many millennia.

Wait... This is a document written by Golden Heart, but the first paragraph seems to be written by someone looking at Golden Heart? Or is He of Hourglass supposed to be Garble, too, but his common-name is confusingly the exact same one as Golden Heart's?

From How One Restores Honor:

Harmony flung his wings outward in a display of aggression. “Dragon, I am under the protection of He of Hourglass. Stand down.”

“I did not give you ponies any protection.” The red dragon’s maw glowed. He of Hourglass facepalmed.

“I… Wha…” Harmony was completely lost. This was completely new and nothing was making any sense. He had no idea how to respond properly to that as he couldn't think of any relative dragon code that was appropriate.

I seemed to have puled a fast one on you...

Or is He of Hourglass supposed to be Garble, too, but his common-name is confusingly the exact same one as Golden Heart's?

you are correct which of course completely confused Harmony. Something that will be "fixed" very soon.

The problem Harmony has is that there is a subtle difference between saying He of Hourglass("Garble") and He of Hourglass(Golden Heart) But nondragons are unable to make or hear the necessarily changes in pitch and tone to be able to properly address each one correctly. Something about no sharp teeth and overly long tongue...
