>What dragon was he?
Sh'hakazeel, the mover of heavens, was slain by Orlanth but always returned. Orlanth recognized her each time and used the power of Orvanshagor to slay her, most recently in the Imperial Age. Her corpse lives in the Sky for all to see, and her head decorates his great ring. Thunder Rebels p91 Sh'hakazeel was a terrible dragon that lived near Kerofinela. Orlanth was ready and he killed it after a great struggle, the First Dragonslaying. The notch in the Kerospine Hills is where Orlanth's killing blow cut it in two. His sons dispatched some parts of the serpent that stayed alive when it died, and after that all the remaining dragons fled far to the east. Thunder Rebels p143
The notch is the Dragon Pass (not the land but the actual pass between Kerofin and the Skyreach Mountains).
