These legends are better treated as myths. The Grazers came to Dragon Pass in 1250, well after the Dragonkill, and well before the Orlanthi.

I wouldn't trust the Praxians on what was going on in Dragon Pass -- or to give an unbiased account of their victory.

I'll bet a sorcerer told you that, and you believed it?
Sorcerers drink milk, too. They don't tap their own cows. They tap *our* cows! That's why Bossie didn't give any milk yesterday, and why Blackie's milk sours so quickly.
