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 eventually became sentient and were resistant to the acidic quality of the [[Rain Wild River]], hence the existence of [[liveships]].
[[Malta Vestrit|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.
