About Old Draconic
Old Draconic is the language that dragons spoke shortly after their creation by the First of The Five, it was taught to them by the First approximately 1 billion years BC (Before Culling). Dragons living in a fairly orderly heirarchical society as well as their extreme life spans (much longer than even Elves), means that the language evolved very slowly over the ages. However, many of the languages spoke on Vidras evolved from Old Draconic.
