Dragon changes

We're just finishing up some new changes to Dragons. The details are as
follows:
Dragons gain two new skills, completing their skillset:
- Lairs (allowing dragons to make and customise a private area of
Sapience for their home).
- Kinmastery (granting dragons the ability to summon and control lesser
draconic brethren (Drakes and Wyverns)).
Due to the long period of time we have been opened, combined with dozens
of opportunities every year to earn double experience or more, we feel
that the current milestone for reaching level 99 is far too easy to
attain. Starting from this Friday at 00:00, we will be moving Dragon
from level 99 to level 150.
All existing dragons will be reverted back to their lesserform, and
their dragon colour removed. This means that players will get to
reselect their new colour for free when they hit the new milestone.
We realise that this has the potential to annoy some of our high-level
dragons, so we have put in some new high-level areas for our elite
hunters. Cardan and I have been working on a system which generates
random small islands (called atolls), which spawn at various locations
each Achaean month. Presently there are over 128000 possible
permutations of atoll, and we're looking at expanding this further in
the near future.
Penned by My hand on the 21st of Valnuary, in the year 534 AF.
