All this talk of dragons got me meditating about how to represent the various levels of dragon divinity as Runes.

Here is my stab at the draconic runes

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HeroQuest-RPG/files/Unofficial% 20Draconic%20Runes/

I depict the primal Ouroboros dragon with the infinity rune. Dream dragons -- the kind that scare the living bejezus out of Dragon Pass' inhabitants -- are represented by the standard EWF rune. The Cosmic Dragon, The Ancestral Dragon, and True Dragons are stages in the passage from mystic simplicity to mundane dream dragons. The origin of Draconic Being is represented by the presence of eyes in the higher levels of dragonhood, but their absence in both Dream Dragons and Ouroboros. Why does the big "O" have no eyes? Perhaps draconic eyes are lesser versions of the orbs of the void encircled by the coils of Ouroboros.
