On the back of the pink Gloranthan Player (?) Book is a picture of a village dwarfed by a dragon's head. I heard the name of the village somehwere, but I do not remember it.

My question is what kind of village is this? Do all kinds of people live next to dragon's like that? The books all say true dragons sit around sleeping, but they seem to almost intentionally leave out any specific consequences of this. Kind of like, "And here is where a dragon the size of a mountain sits. And over here..."

If kids grow up in that village, I would imagine they play a game called "Poke the Dragon with a Stick" because kids are notoriously stupid (apologies to any former or current kids). I cannot imagine there NOT being a cult dedicated to a thing laying a 100 m away with one foot in the infinity. Seers would probably prophesy based on its breathing patterns and digestion noises. Etc. Etc. Etc.
