If I remember correctly, the dragon in Issola was referred to as a "she". I always thought it was the dragon from the paths of the dead that they met in _Taltos_ but Devera's a cool, and more fitting, alternate. And by the way, it's no surprise that Lazarus is infallible in the Brustian trivia. Do NOT get into a competition with him over Tolkien....
