The collection of the light crystals became a focus. The small amount of fire crystals that Ignus's dragonkin collected for him were also welcomed. Ignus seemed like he was more annoyed than anything that he and the other royal dragons had not noticed the shifting of the sun being slowed. However, they also lived much longer. It was hard for them to have the same sense of time as a human, let alone any other race. No one put the dragons at fault for this.
Whether Walker and the others realized it or not, their sense of time had been influenced too. They were human for the most part, but they too had other influences. Elemental spirits had bonded with them causing them to change at a fundamental level. That alone was enough for their lifespans to become layered. Adding in the elven, dragon, or other influences and the entire party was subject to a radically different flow of time than any human by comparison.
