Tommy B's Dragon Land
Crystal Island
Please use caution while visiting Tommy B's Dragon Land, as much of the park is still under construction. Some weird magic going on - don't get turned into a Cactus Dragon or nuthin! Cuz, wow, they're ugly. I mean, seriously ...
Welcome to Crystal Island.
There has been a flurry of activity around Tommy B's Dragon Land of late, and that is due to the arrival of a brand-new island. As noted earlier, our magnanimous founding wizard, Tommy B, has spent a great deal of time sourcing the hunk of rock for the park's next island. He would not settle for just any ol' chunk of basalt or granite. While Tommy B's Dragon Land (a stupid and unoriginal name for a park, but don't tell him that!) is home to a huge number of unique, amazing, rare, and fascinating dragons, he also wanted the park itself to stand out.
Somewhere in the strange depths of Australia's arid interior, where normal people wouldn't imagine ever going, Tommy B stumbled upon what at first seemed to be a rare but random vein of powerful crystals, nestled high in the mountains. He refuses to reveal the exact location, but we can tell you that this place was about between the Dundas and Queen Victoria Spring Nature Reserves, east of Kalgoorlie and west of Rawlinna.
Upon further inspection, it turned out that this was no simply natural vein of crystal, but in fact a lost and ancient site of wizardly ruins! A small bowl of rock high in the mountains was shot through with rare yellow crystals and strange crystalline metal structures. And spread around these outcroppings - some of which seemed natural and other seemed somehow groomed - were the ruins of an ancient wizard's keep.
Very little is left - a couple of run-down buildings which Mr. B. has restored, many seemingly-cultivated outgrowths of crystal and hematite-like metal, and lots of strange brick and even gold flagstones. As you wander about the island, you will see what must once have been a large paved area, perhaps used as a forum, or for wizardly experiments, or even for primitive dragon duels, a forerunner of today's Colosseum events.
Tommy B has left much of these ruins alone, enjoying rather the play of nature and order. Several wondrous sorts of lightning dragon and metal dragon can be found on the island, some of which have never been seen by wizardkind before! All of whom have taken quite nicely to the natural crystals and metals in the island.
But what attracted Tommy B most to this hunk of rock was not just the beauty of the crystals and metals, and not just the calm yet inexorable way in which nature is slowly retaking the ruins, but that the yellow crystals and reddish metals are really quite powerful, well-suited for experiments but even better used as focussing tools to harness and enhance Tommy B's magics! But what seemed to be a windfall was actually to pose quite a problem.
Whenever Mr. B. tried to focus his magics on the area, in order to separate it from the surrounding rock and lift it high into the sky for transportation, the crystals began to shine, and then to reverberate, threatening to shake the ruins apart! Not only that, but the six-sided metallic veins absorbed so much magical energy from the spell that they began to really heat up, and the whole island was in danger of melting!
Our amazingly brilliant, yet ever humble, founding wizard, however, had a plan. After much calculation, and lots of intuition, Tommy B particularly placed perfectly three astrolabes, situated specifically to harness and control the magic of the spells, and magnificently harmonizing the yellow crystals' vibrations as well as keeping the metal crystals from absorbing the energy and heat, neatly averting liquefaction (a great word).
Thus, after much hunting, and studying, and magicking, and planning, and a few little touches here and there, Tommy B's Dragon Land is delighted to bring to you, our dear visitors, Crystal Island! Come and see the very varied species of lightning and metal dragons who love to cavort and play amidst these mysterious and ancient wizardly ruins from some weird place in Australia. Huzzah!
For our guests' convenience, restrooms have finally opened, and can be found on Firecicle Island, Forest Island, and Shrine Island.
