Descriptions
- Too powerful for anyone on the planet to kill. Even Monarchs cannot kill it. Thankfully, it sleeps a lot.
- “a long blue serpentine dragon that travels on thunderstorms, and sleeps on miles-long beds of clouds”
- “a kilometers-long azure dragon flew on a violent storm, moving like a hurricane toward a small kingdom” (Suriel’s view, Unsouled, ch 6)
Sightings
Some years ago, probably before the Cradle series began, the Weeping Dragon flew over the region where the Dawnwing sect school was located, on the Iceflower Continent.
In Book 1, Unsouled, while hovering far above Sacred Valley, Suriel saw the Weeping Dragon: “On another hemisphere, a kilometers-long azure dragon flew on a violent storm, moving like a hurricane toward a small kingdom.” (Unsouled, ch 6)
