It's a bit of a stretch to assert that the God Learners never controlled the Sea of Fog. In any case, Thrunhin Da lies at the bottom of the Sea of Fog whereas the surface was fair game so the God Learners had little reason for attempting her suppression.

I think Pamaltelan Draconic Mythology is confined to Slargeland.

Since the Genertelan and Kralori myths don't really have much to say about each other (to the extent that the Dragonewts and the Kralori call each other liars), you can hardly use that as evidence that the Sea Dragons are not draconic.
>This makes the West pretty poor in dragons, too.
Pretty poor in what way? That knights cannot have tales about fighting dragons?
>Very few are mentioned by name, and then some entities are named as
>dragons in some context and non-dragons at other times (e.g. Vith).
Vith is not and never has been a dragon. The Kralori TarnGatHa is the dragon Dogsalu in Vithelan mythology. That the Kralori think that Dogsalu was the first ruler only demonstrates their stupidity in Vithelan eyes. The next draconic ruler, HeenMaroun, is Govmeranen who is explicitly a son of Dogsalu in Kralori myth. After him comes the non-draconic Osdero who the Kralori call Metsyla and the dragons disappear from Kralori myth until Daruda's time.

I'm thinking the Snake-whiskered dragon is actually the Green Dragon. It would mean that he would have to leave his resting place for a jaunt to the Nights of Horrors though.

Not to mention the Mottled One of the Homeward Ocean which lives in Teleos.

>Dead or not?
Given that his appearance at the Dragonkill War was a shock to the Dayzatar Priests there, I'm convinced that it's Not Dead.
>Kralori dragons look and behave strange while in Kralorela (source:
>Anaxial's Roster), but appear to be numerous. Are they True Dragons?
They are a rank below True Dragons. I don't think they are Dream Dragons but equivalent in power and spiritual status to noble and ruler dragonewts.
>Did they appear as similar in shape to the four known ones of Dragon
>Pass during the Dragonkill?
I think the Kralori Dragons had more important things to do at the time such as the War in Heaven.
