<p></p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>&lt;center&gt;&#039;&#039;&quot;Don&#039;t ask the dragons any direct questions&quot;&#039;&#039; - Dragonologist&#039;s First Maxim&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt; &#039;&#039;&quot;Corollary: if you do, be sure you aren&#039;t talking to a wyvern&quot;&#039;&#039; - Dragonologist&#039;s Second Maxim&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> Dragonology is the study of dragons by humans. Dragons have no need to study each other, as they already know everything about themselves. It is a colorful field, and one in which dragons have not been all together cooperative. Dragonologists can generally be described as belonging to one of three &quot;waves&quot;:<br /> <br /> *&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;First Wave&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; dragonologists began by asking simple, direct questions. Dragons being intelligent, reasoning beings capable of rational thought and speaking many languages, responded to these questions with sarcasm, pranks, and not a small amount of lying and double-talk. Initial efforts were further hampered by deliberate disinformation provided by [[Wyvern]]s, which according to the dragons was &quot;funny&quot;.<br /> <br /> *&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Second Wave&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; dragonologists, such as [[Lacroix Brennt]], did not interact with dragons at all, and instead relied on observation. They made many important discoveries this way, and were an important step towards paving the way for a real understanding of dragons.<br /> <br /> *&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Third Wave&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; dragonologists, such as [[Yule Steinheart]] and [[Scalgdorf]], worked to build actual relationships with dragons, and derived their observations through conversation rather than interrogation. Dragons will tend to be guarded about direct questions, but are quite open in the course of conversation.<br /> <br /> *&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Honorable Mention&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; goes to the [[Rinoin]] civilization, who were the first to conduct actual scientific measurements. While exactly how these early experiments were negotiated remains lost to history, records survive of experiments done by attaching instruments to red-red-fire dragons. These experiments would later by repeated by the [[Gudersnipe Foundation]] as well as the [[Trans-Draconic Federation]]. The Rinoin records, beginning with their discovery and continuing through much of the [[Ages]] of the [[Alliance]] were in fact the only scientifically recorded readings on dragons that were widely available for quite a long while.<br /> <br /> [[Category:Course Books]]</div>
