         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.

         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.

The notch is the Dragon Pass (not the land but the actual pass between Kerofin and the Skyreach Mountains).
