Veteris Draconum Aestas

(Summer of the Ancient Dragon)

(Season 2)

Summer, 2003. Oh, but the world has changed. Cyberpunks are on the streets. The secret of immortality was found, marketed and lost. 2056 is gone. The Jammers are a mess. The Ascended is a mess. Aztec is where Mexico used to be. Russia lost World War III. 1850 is gone. 1511 is opened up.

Life sure is strange to old and hardened dragons.
