"If you need to change, just do so in any of the bathrooms." Aerta explained. "We have two on the ground level and one upstairs."

Like most large dracon cities, Traeton had a large wall system, but also had two sets of subterranea. First was the sewer system, but this was small and underdeveloped in comparison to those of other urban centers. Second and much more extensive was the sprawling network of catacombs. As one might have expected, these tunnels were a vast burial ground. While dracons had room on the surface for burials, they also had to use every patch of fertile land wisely. Most other lands were either covered in sand or too remote from the population centers to be of much use for burial, lest the remains get blown away. The shortage of wood for pyres also made it cremation impractical. 

Therefore, Traeton had built a large set of tunnels which the kobolds could exploit. The sheer age of the catacombs combined with lax maintenance meant that not even the city's officials knew their full extent. One of Rughoi's scouts had been in contact with a nearby tribe which had accidentally tunneled into the catacombs while expanding their living spaces. It was quite a tempting opportunity.

Ophion walked a while with the fox. He wasn't actually old by dracon standards, but he must have seemed that way next to Fasuto. "So, what land are you from, if I may ask?" He could sense magic in the newcomer, but it wasn't the same kind of power which they had in the dracon lands. Magical abilities depended on many things; the school of magic (how it was used), the kind of magic (exactly what kind of energy the magic manipulates, such as fire or water), and the magical traditions.

That last one was hard to nail down. It was much like a musical tradition, full of subjectives as to its quality and dependent on culture, religion, philosophy, and the models set by exemplary mages in their society.
