This is of course speculation and a bit of head canon, but it's a way of looking at the dynamic of the beginning of the Age of Fire as a commentary on humanity's propensity for violence and conquest over the "natural" order even if that order does not threaten us, simply to say that we control our environment, our planet. Combined with cinematic lines of the fire bringing "disparity," the "rebellion" against the dragons may not have been provoked by them, but rather by mortals due to our inherent lust for power, fame, fortune, and longer life. The Everlasting Dragon is affiliated with neither and comes from the Age of Dragons and archtrees. that do attack us/can attack us are from either the Lords/Gods or Humanity in some form or serve one of these groups or both. However, the Everlasting Dragon does not.even if we literally slice off his tail. And even NPCs mostly retaliate against the player if provoked. ![]() In Dark Souls, almost everything attacks us.both those that could allies depending player choices and outright enemies. ![]() The other four-winged dragons met in the game, Seath and the Gaping Dragon, have been driven mad or transformed, so this dragon at Ash Lake is the only seemingly sane Everlasting Dragon left. It gets pretty busy in summer and fall but those times are when weather conditions are ideal for cruising down this epic road.This guy leads to me to believe, due to the limited information about the Everlasting Dragon elsewhere and the beginning cinematic, that the Dragons were peaceful in nature. Dragons Tail is an exotic weapon and the precursor to the legendary mace Aurenes Tail crafted in the Mystic Forge, through various materials and tasks. Also, try to avoid it during the rainy spring season. Don’t try to attempt the Dragon in winter, as these 318 turns can be quite treacherous in snowy and icy winter weather conditions. Need an excuse to drive the Tail of the Dragon? First of all, it’s surrounded by other slightly-less-curvy, but still exciting and scenic roads, and the Dragon can easily be worked into a scenic route toward Asheville, one of the most beautiful towns in the Carolinas. The Cherokee fought more than one battle in the area, it’s reported there’s at least one Civil War soldier buried near the road, and rumors of an angry land owner hanging motorists who wouldn’t pay his toll also figure into the lore of the Dragon being haunted. With the stretch having claimed the lives of many over the years (on average, the 11-mile Tail of the Dragon takes at least one life a year), it’s natural to assume the road just has to be haunted.ĭeath and bloodshed, however, also came to the area long before the paved road cut through Deal’s Gap. For instance, travelers of the Dragon claim they’ve heard more than one ghost while on the road at night. Of course, a stretch of road this famous has a legend or two surrounding it. Also, it’s a fantastic view of the Smoky Mountains and Tennessee countryside, particularly in the fall, when the leaves change color, or in the summer when everything is lush and green. This beautiful scenic overlook just off the Tail of the Dragon offers a gorgeous view of the Cheoah Dam. Next, pull over at the Calderwood Overlook.
