Is it possible to tell the history of dragons without also speaking of the epics of dragon slayers? In this episode of the Burning Archive, Jeff Rich returns to the questions posed by Isaac Rich in episode 32, This Archive is for the Players, and responds to the question on the history of dragons. Travelling all over the world and, in time, from 1500 BC to the final episode of Game of Thrones, this podcast explores how the magic and the power of dragons has appeared in many cultures - from the Rig Veda to The Song of Ice and Fire, from Beowulf to St George and the Dragon in Vladimir Putin's banner flags, and from World of Warcraft to that great masterpiece of modern culture, Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. Thanks to Skyrim and World of Warcraft for some sound credits.
