"What do you mean, no factions or tribes?" Ardiel asked, his brow furrowed in confusion.
"It's exactly as it is," Gundar replied with a gruff nod.
"Lord Zephyros has no relatives, and he doesn't belong to any tribe."
Ardiel sighed heavily. "Exzhen hasn't told me anything about his affairs, so I'm only learning about them now..."
His heart sank as he realized how little he knew about his soul bond and how great a burden Exzhen was trying to carry alone.
"Dragons are tribal beings, lad," Gundar explained, scratching his beard. "They follow a strict hierarchy. There are four factions in total."
"Four factions?" Ardiel repeated, curiosity sparking in his eyes.
"Aye," Gundar continued, his voice rich with passion.
