Dragons are the keepers of consciousness. They removed themselves from human consciousness roughly 5000 years ago, when people stopped looking to the sky and began looking to the Earth for answers to the fundamental questions. Dragons have maintained a presence in every culture on every continent, through legends, statues and effigies. When the People’s Business Party start tearing down dragon symbols and replacing them with their logos, the dragons have no choice. Without their ubiquitous presence, humanity will drift even further from reality until eventually they are only conscious of themselves. To protect the future, the keepers of consciousness cannot allow this to happen.
