“Okay – before you go in there, there are a few things you need to know about addressing the Dragon Lords.“
“Hit me.”
“The red one is Galmoth the Devourer. Never say Galmoth’s name in their presence, even when referring to them indirectly. Identify them by epithet only, and never use the same epithet twice. Acceptable epithets include ‘Devouring One’, ‘Keeper of the Iron Gate’, and ‘End of All Wisdom’.”
“What if I’ve used all of those?”
“You’ll have to get creative.”
“Hm.”
“The silver one is Ithyphyth, Mistress of Storms. Never refer to Ithyphyth, Mistress of Storms using pronouns of any kind, and never omit Ithyphyth, Mistress of Storms’ title. Ithyphyth, Mistress of Storms must always be referred to as Ithyphyth, Mistress of Storms.”
“Could you run that name by me again?”
“Ithypyth, Mistress of Storms.“
“Ithyphyth. Ithyphyth. Ithyphyth. Is that a tongue twister on purpose, or is the draconic language just like that?”
“You’re welcome to ask.”
“I think I’ll pass.”
“Finally, the green one is Steve.”
“Steve?”
“Steve.”
“And what’s Steve’s deal?”
“Steve’s cool, provided that you under no circumstances remark on the fact that his name is Steve. The other two will try to trick you into doing so.”
“Do you ever get the impression that the Dragon Lords are just fucking with us?“
“Every day of my life.”
