It is probably a myth that dragons routinely breath fire. My new theory made up postulated in the last two minutes (breaking news) suggests that they only emit fire when they sneeze. So beware when going into battle with a dragon that has a leather pouch full of pepper hanging on a chord around it's neck.

I have another theory that it is quite easy to work out when CR4 contributors are bored.

Woe to you of Earth and Sea for Lord Igneous sends the Rock of Wrath, and he knows the time is short.

Let him who hath understanding reckon the number of the Rock of Wrath, for it is a Human number.

Its number is 70-75% SiO₂, MgO, Fe O₄
