03-01 - Mermul and Fardon are out of danger

So nice to see this page's 'official' release. I remember Fardon's helmet when it didn't have a crack in the visor.

03-05a intermission dragon pants. I'd call them leggings or chaps, unless there's some connection between the leg parts we aren't seeing.

I call each one "a pant".

03-08 - Dragons tend to crash out after eating

Synthetic meat, eh? I'm a little curious how the process for that works (some sort of cloning vat or the suchlike?)...

More like Quorn or soy protein.  Quorn was available for evaluation by 1985, as a result of a fear in the late 60s that the population needed new ways to be fed, so they experimented with micro-fungus as a protein and had it working by the mid-80s though they didn't get a license to sell it until the early 90s.

In their timeline they've had additional pressure to develop such things since dragons need a lot of food, and while they're omnivorous they still want to avoid having them get desperate enough to eat humanoids.  So I would imagine they had vat-grown plant, algae, microfungus stuff available far earlier than we did.

In the social media posts I specifically referred to them as "vege-steaks" but that probably didn't come across on the main site.
