	Lelerough was given great honor by the Marcons, and buried in a golden casket (which, they felt, befitted a dragon), itself placed inside a massive marble sarcophagus sealed in a mausoleum. Her tomb was filled with tributes from all over the Marcon Alliance. Historians believe this was quite an interesting attempt at spin on the part of the Marcons - despite all the damage they did, by turning her into one of their heroes, the new imperial court was able to claim her actions as their own. In the end, it didn't matter that the trillions of people she killed were all Marcons; she was a force of nature and she "belonged to us!".

In the end, it didn't matter that the trillions of people she killed were all Marcons; she was a force of nature and she "belonged to us!".

	Such was the power and fear she instilled that, even centuries later, her tomb was untouched. The necropolis around it was dismantled and every other tomb looted, but Lelerough's final resting placed remained intact, her body never violated by Marconian hands (the ones that buried her did so with great reverence, and even had slaves handle her just so it could be said she was never touched by a Marcon). The mausoleum was eventually ~~buried, and the location~~ lost.		Such was the power and fear she instilled that, even centuries later, her tomb was untouched.

The mausoleum was eventually lost.

	Over two thousand years later, near the start of the [[Ages#The Second Age\|Second Age]], [[Alliance]] workers surveying the valley for a hydroelectric dam stumbled across the ruins of the necropolis while digging for soil samples. The find was ~~extremely~~ advantageous, as Lelerough's remains could have been lost forever had the dam been built.		Over two thousand years later, near the start of the [[Ages#The Second Age\|Second Age]], [[Alliance]] workers surveying the valley for a hydroelectric dam stumbled across the ruins of the necropolis while digging for soil samples. The find was advantageous, as Lelerough's remains could have been lost forever had the dam been built.

	The planet was in a region of [[Joint Space]] and the dam project was being administrated by both the Alliance and [[Foundation]]. Once the ruins were found to be Marcon in origin, the Foundation took total control over the dig. The Foundation had been working, ever since the beginning of the [[Mage Wars#The Second Chaotic Period\|Second Chaotic Period]], to destroy all copies of the [[Bravkar]] and suppress as much information about the Marcon Alliance as possible. The Foundation was legitimately concerned that an intact tomb might include a copy of the Bravkar.

	The excavations lasted almost twenty years, with eleven of those alone devoted to clearing Lelerough's expansive tomb. It yielded a treasure-trove of Marconian artwork and provided an important window into Marconian culture. Moreover, it allowed historians to finally discover the fate of Lelerough, and close that chapter of her mysterious and wonderous life.

Moreover, it allowed historians to finally discover the fate of Lelerough, and close that chapter of her mysterious and wonderous life.

	The tomb did in fact contain six complete copies of the Bravkar, ceremonial in nature, of the type found in royal tombs. Each Bravkar was hand-written in six volumes, placed inside six nested shrines, with six copies total. That the Marcons would give what (to them) was considered such an important gift to a "Much-Hated Blood Enemy" speaks volumes about the respect Lelerough commanded. All six Bravkars were carried immediately ~~outside~~ of the tomb and burned in jet fuel, and the ashes dissolved in acid. While accounts vary, it seems the acid vats were either thrown into a volcano or hurled into the sun. The Foundation felt they should provide the Bravkars with at least as much disrespect as the Marconians provided it respect, so any blank pages were ~~probably~~ used as toilet paper.

	Lelerough's body was removed and carefully examined, and found to be quite well preserved. Pathologists discovered that she suffered from severe arthritis and walked with a cane (over eleven thousand elaborately-decorated canes and other walking sticks were found in the tomb). They also determined she had suffered a stroke at some point and had only limited use of her right hand and leg. This probably happened years before the destruction of The Dragonlands. Finally, the Foundation's pathologists ruled that Lelerough had undoubtedly died of age-related maladies, and ~~that~~ her death was "probably... quite peaceful".

	Most of the Marconian artwork recovered from the tomb was decided to have no important relation to Lelerough and was passed out to museums. Everything gold (except the gilding on the Bravkars) was kept, though much of it was melted down and pressed into coins (objects of little historical or artistic value were simply stripped of their gold). The sarcophagus and casket, however, were deemed "crafted with great respect and reverence, this was the work of artisans who admired the person they were burying". Quite shockingly, the coffins did not include a single [[Benka]] or passage from the Bravkar, which only re-enforced the belief that it was a fitting resting place for Lelerough.

Anointed by [[Draco]]. Honorary [[Slayer Dragon]]. These are just some of the honors and titles given her.

	Lelerough was a "dragon" sorceress who ruled [[The Dragonlands]] for a period of 441 years, from [[B.G.A.]] 1315 to 901. Though she was an absolute monarch, she never took a formal title herself, and appointed numerous kings and dukes to administrate her domain. She ruled with an iron fist, but was still greatly loved and revered. Under her command, dragon magic was combined with human agriculture to create a massive surplus of food known as "The Great Plenty" and insured that none of her dragon subjects or human slaves ever starved. The surviving humans who escaped the destruction of The Dragonlands would continue to revere her, eventually raising her to the status of a [[Lelroughodai\|deity]] some two thousand years later.

	Though few people would ever see it, the Foundation spent twelve years building a massive monument to Lelerough in the heart of the Dragonlands. Her body, and all of the gold buried with it, were re-interred in a secret location also in the Dragonlands. The new burial also included tributes from hundreds of dragon flights, giving Lelerough a sizable hoard upon which to sleep for eternity. Her funeral, held in the city of [[Arindell]], was attended by hundreds of dignitaries and heads of state from all over the [[Alliance]], and an elegy was given by [[Laytami Gudersnipe]] himself. Nine dragon flights, representing the nine flights she had united, and led by King Dragons from High Mountain, formed the honor guard that flew Lelerough's body home.

	Despite her invented importance to the Marcon Alliance and her habit of enslaving humans, Lelerough is widely regarded as a hero throughout the [[Known Worlds]], easily on par with [[~~Uther~~]] and [[Laytami Gudersnipe]] for ending the [[Mage Wars]]. Statues of her are found in nearly every nation, and she was posthumously given many awards and citations. All of the flights that participated in her funeral agreed to name her "Bloodkin to All Dragonkind", the highest honor a dragon can receive, and the only time such an honor has been universally recognized.

	In the centuries following Lelerough's reburial, the Dragonlands were re-inhabited by members of dozens of dragon flights. They formed new flights and bedded down in the old eeries, forever watching over the great dragon sorceress.

	A few of Lelerough's more important honors and titles are mentioned in the opening of this article, but a bit more detail will be given here. 'Destroyer of Worlds' and 'Much-Hated Blood Enemy' were both given to her by the [[Marcon Alliance]], and she treasured both (though 'Blood Enemy' was meant as an insult). The rest of her titles were given when she was re-interned during the Second Age.

The rest of her titles were given when she was re-interned during the Second Age.

	Two that stand out are 'Favored of ~~Uther~~' and 'Honorary Slayer Dragon'. During his life, [[~~Uther~~]] gave out many citations to his Slayer Dragons and his generals, but the highest honor he could bestow was simply "Favored", which meant absolute trust. Following his death, this title became known as "Favored of ~~Uther~~". When it was bestowed on Lelerough, it was both the only time it had ever been given out postumously, and the only time it was ever given following ~~Uther~~'s death. Each Pendragon since had a "Favored" citation, but it was felt at the time that only Favored of ~~Uther~~ would do. Lelerough was also made an honorary Slayer Dragon, as simply 'Favored of ~~Uther~~' didn't feel like enough. While many others have recieved that title, Lelerough is the only such individual to have a statue placed in the [[Valley of Sleeping Dragons]].		Two that stand out are 'Favored of Eieber' and 'Honorary Slayer Dragon'. During his life, [[Eieber]] gave out many citations to his Slayer Dragons and his generals, but the highest honor he could bestow was simply "Favored", which meant absolute trust.

	Her most important honor, however, was 'Bloodkin of All Dragonkind'. Typically speaking, such an honor is extremly rare. A dragon might be named Bloodkin to another flight, or recognized as Bloodkin to a handful of flights, but 'All Dragonkind' seldom acknowledge any individual as universal 'kin'. That Lelerough received this title, and from all standing flights, indicates again the awe in which she was held.		Her most important honor, however, was 'Bloodkin of All Dragonkind'.

	As was his way, Galactis also offered a second, completely contradictory theory of Lelerough's childhood: that she grew up amidst plenty and had a very happy, very prosperous childhood. This had such a profoundly positive impact on her, that she desired to provide the same to everyone under her rule, be they human or dragon. Yet another theory postulated that food was used to keep the human population in line--not by depriving them of it, but by providing such an over-abundance that they could not ask for more. The "over-abundance" notion is supported in the language, where a word that translates to "unnecessary" was used to describe having much more than needed (Lelerough's "unnecessary beauty" essentially meant that she was much more beautiful than she had to be).

	Lelerough's exact age is unknown, but assuming she appeared human and aged at a normal human rate, she is thought to have been fourteen at the time of her ascension to power. However, it is also thought she may have aged much slower, and ascended at the age of thirty or forty. Regardless, she looks to be in her early teens in surviving depictions.

	A sorceress of unmatched power, Lelerough was perhaps the most powerful that ever lived. If she is considered a dragon, she must be compared to the likes of [[Draco]] and [[Hrethrel Jusenkyou]], both full-blooded dragons. Draco lived to be nearly 10,000 years old and created the [[Slayer Dragons]]. Lelerough nearly wiped out the [[Marcon Alliance]]. Honestly, it's a [[toss-up]].

	In [[B.G.A.]] 1314, Lelerough brought together an alliance of nine dragon flights, who together commanded a sizable portion of the [[Greater Continent]].

	Though such a being has never been observed, studies of dragon-form dragons who are one-quarter human give much insight into what Lelerough must have been like.

They also determined she had suffered a stroke at some point and had only limited use of her right hand and leg. This probably happened years before the destruction of The Dragonlands. ~~Finaly~~, the Foundation's pathologists ruled that Lelerough had undoubtedly died of age-related maladies, and that her death was "probably... quite peaceful".

Her funeral, held in the city of [[Arindell]], was attended by hundreds of dignitaries and heads of state from all over the [[Alliance]], and an elegy was given by [[Laytami Gudersnipe]] himself. Nine dragon flights, representing the nine flights she had united, and led by King Dragons from High Mountain, formed the honor guard that flew Lelerough's body home.		Though few people would ever see it, the Foundation spent twelve years building a massive monument to Lelerough in the heart of the Dragonlands.

	Despite her invented importance to the Marcon Alliance and her habit of enslaving humans, ~~lelerough~~ is widely regarded as a hero throughout the [[Known Worlds]], easily on par with [[Uther]] and [[Laytami Gudersnipe]] for ending the [[Mage Wars]]. Statues of her are found in nearly every nation, and she was ~~postumously~~ given many awards and citations. All of the flights that participated in her funeral agreed to name her "Bloodkin to All Dragonkind", the highest honor a dragon can receive, and the only time such an honor has been universally recognized.

	In the centuries following Lelerough's reburial, the Dragonlands were re-inhabited by members of dozens of dragon flights. They formed new flights and bedded down in the old eeries, forever watching over the great dragon sorceress.
