The Book of Quahon
The Book of Quahon Tyr's Advance - Heroes of Braunglayde The figure used for this unit is a Flying Turquoise Dragon figure from Bullyland. The figure fits on a Double-Spaced base. Character Bio: Icaria: a beautiful world filled with majestic creatures. Dragons fly across the land, worshipped by the native Icarians. The dragons which call Icaria their home come in every color of the rainbow and more. Some are small enough to sit in a child's lap; some are so large that trees are felled as they pass. All are majestic; all are marvels of magic and nature. All are feared, worshipped, and admired. But no dragon is as regaled as the dragon of Pataqua. Once upon a time, the people of Pataqua were without a dragon protector; for as long as the eldest of the elders could remember, it had been so. Those elders spoke of a legend from the time before: a prophecy that, when it was needed most, when Pataqua was besieged and helpless, the most beautiful sapphire dragon would sweep down from the heavens and bring an era of peace and harmony. Enemies would be dispersed, fields would be fertile, rain would be plentiful. The cruel dragons of the outlands would not dare threaten a Pataquan under the protection of the blue goddess. It was night, during a violent thunderstorm, when the cult of the Nhah Scrih attacked Pataqua. Enemy warriors draped in white swarmed inside, chanting a terrifying mantra. Lightning struck, illuminating the cruel faces of the invaders. Just as all seemed lost, and the natives of Pataqua were about to be slain, lightning crashed again. The Nhah Scirh were struck down one by one by a blinding fury from the heavens. As the final interloper crumbled to ash, the Pataquans saw a silhouette framed against the black sky. The silhouette floated to the ground, and the Pataquans immediately fell to their knees and began to pray. A mighty blue dragon stood before them. Pataqua's dragon had saved them. Quahon had arrived.

-Rebasing tip: Quahon can be tricky to move around the board due to her long tail and wide wingspan. At times she can be harder to place than Nilfheim. Before gluing her to the large peanut base, try several test positions, where you watch where her tail ends up extending out from the base, and where her wings could potentially collide with obstacles (such as trees and castle pieces) during placement. (MegaSilver)_________________________________________________________________ -Heroscapers Community Contributions- Power Ranking Nilfheim's toughness and maneuverability still makes him the stronger choice overall, but it's close.

Re: The Book of Quahon
I would like to suggest that an alternate card be made for the other Quahon that's about. Thanks.

Re: The Book of Quahon
I pronounce it like "swan" -- Kwan.
Though it's probably supposed to be like Kwa-Hon. (As is Hon Solo. ) |

Re: The Book of Quahon
Props to whomever scoured the depths of the internet for this figure. It looks like it'll fit right in among the rest of the dragons.

Re: The Book of Quahon
I say the first part as "kway" and the second part like "han" from Han Solo.

Re: The Book of Quahon
Her name is based on Mohican for Thunder...so i looked up an pronunciation guide:
QU - Usually it is pronounced like qu in English queen, but at the end of a word, it is pronounced more like a k with a puff of air after it. The same sound is also written kw and kq in this text. A - Like the a in father. N - Like n in English night. H - Like h in English hay. O - A little like the "AO" from "AOL" spoken quickly. N - Like n in English night. so we have kwa' hewn C3V Current Broadcast 4/29/2015 C3V Testimonial from " Easily the best quality classic customs I have ever seen" MY MINIATURE COLLECTION -- NEW VALHALLA |

The easiest way to tell them apart is by counting the backwards-facing horns on her head. The "right" sculpt has 4 horns (2 on each side), and the "wrong" sculpt has 2 horns (1 on each side). But, really, they're very very close to each other, and it's certainly fine to use the "wrong" sculpt as a proxy for the "right" one if the "wrong" one is the only one you can get hold of. So MegaSilver was suggesting that we make a card which shows the "wrong" (or perhaps "alternate" would be a better word) sculpt for those poor souls who have had to settle for the proxy. Quote:
