Description

A stone that is used to choose the new King of Dragons every time the old King dies. 

Purpose

The new King is chosen by seeing which dragon can carry Colin's Stone from The Ford of Whispering Snakes to the Vanishing Mountain. The stone is originally from the Caves of Fire and Night.

When the king dies, all dragons, both male and female, that are old enough, tests themselves carrying the stone. The aura, or vibration, is difficult to bear, as it shakes a full grown dragon to the bones the farther it gets from the Caves of Fire and Night. Many dragons have to drop the stone to avoid being shaken apart. However, the new king only feels a pleasant hum as he or she travels and is able to complete the journey without dropping it.
