As everyone knows, the year 201 of the Fourth Era saw the return of another sentient race thus far unmentioned in the present work: the dragon. However, after lengthy contemplation of the pros and cons, the author decided that she would be worth more to science alive than dead, and dead she could well have ended up if she sought out a dragon research subject.
Luckily for the interests of advancement of knowledge, the year 201 also saw the appearance of a dragon expert par excellence: the so-called ”Dragonborn”. Though seeking this man out was almost as difficult as finding a dragon, he was eventually found by the author, drinking in a typically quaint Skyrim inn called The Bee and Barb. After a sufficient application of flattery and alcohol, the following information could be extracted from him:
It is almost impossible to tell anything about a male dragon's sex organs – incidentally, the same goes for female dragons – unless one sees them in an aroused state. The reason for this is that said organs are fully withdrawn into their bodies and protected by the thick scaly skin at all other times. The Dragonborn confided to the author that he had first made the common mistake of believing they lacked genders, but accidentally witnessing an encounter between a red male dragon and a female frost dragon had rather firmly proved otherwise. He claimed to have put some questions to the male dragon (though the claim of being on such familiar speaking terms with one somewhat stretches the credulity of his story) but having received no answers; only, to quote, ”some singed clothes”.
Beyond this, the Dragonborn, who unfortunately appears to be more a man of the sword than of the quill, had made no scientifically useful observations. To the author's questions concerning the appearance of the dragon member, his reply was ”Red. Spiky. Now can we finally talk about something else?”
Such wasted opportunity to enlighten and benefit the entire scientific community!
