Background
Tien-lung is a celestial dragon, a guardian of heavenly locations, particularly libraries. It is bound to protect the pack’s locus, brought here from Hong Kong to serve that purpose as befits a long tradition established by its line centuries ago. It teaches its children to tap into the hidden reservior of knowledge deep within their spirits but requires that they be respectful of all knowledge, in any of its forms.
