I'm getting a wee bit confused here. There are three dragon references.

1. Windwhistler who worships the Sun Dragon Cult in Pavis
2. Krang the Dream Dragon at the Five Eyes Temple
3. The Sun Dragon in Nomad Gods.

Now the first two are not the sun dragon, I can readily accept (Windwhistler is only a wyrm and Krang has no stated connection to the Sun Dragon). However the Sun Dragon counter in Nomad Gods has the same combat value (= - infinity - 20[storm] - 0) as the true dragons of Dragon Pass.

         It is said that Genert, ruler of the northern continent, was advised by a

         True Dragon, called All Eyes Open But One, who had once been a
         dragonewt.

In addition since Aroka crossed the Greatlands from Teshnos to reach Dragon Pass, I assume that the wicked wriggler, Grywl Gontath is a spawn of his.
