== In the Liveship Traders ==
Long after The Great Quake killed the Elderlings and buried their cities, the remaining cocoons of unborn dragons were sawn open and shaped into wooden planks (“[[wizardwood]]”) by the [[Rain Wild Traders]]. These planks were used to construct ships that were resistant to the acidic quality of the [[Rain Wild River]]. When enough blood lives had been "absorbed " by the planks of the ship, the consciousness and memories of the unborn dragon were awakened within the wood, hence the existence of [[liveships]].
[[Malta]] and [[Selden]] Vestrit freed [[Tintaglia]], the last dragon left alive within her cocoon. Through their association with her, they began to change into Elderlings. It is reasonable to assume that Malta, along with her beau [[Reyn Khuprus]] and younger brother Selden, will revive the Elderling race and restore the dragons and Elderlings to their former glory.
'''The Elderling Queen'''
A tapestry in the ruins of [[Frengong]] depicts a young Elderling queen with a large, scarlet scar upon her forehead. Malta Vestrit severely injures her head on the night of [[Bingtown]]’s uprising, leaving her with a similar crest. Reyn describes Malta as “crowned”, and the dragon Tintaglia later refers to Malta as “rewarded” with “the scarlet crest”.
