Devaguea didn't go immediately to the old tower, honestly not expecting it to still be standing. It had been attached to a tiny village, which had been dying for decades, and the sudden loss of their tentative lord would only drive the remaining commoners away. Without the mage to offer 'protection,' and so he would have ready access to test subjects that wouldn't be missed, the nearby bandits would have raided the tiny village into non-existence as fast as possible.<br/><br/>So instead they scried the tower, and Dev was disappointed to learn that not only was the tower inhabited, the town was still there, meaning that someone had taken over the tower fast enough to prevent bandit attacks. So instead of going in person, he direct Talia to send agents to the tower to see if any of the egg fragments remained. He suggested two groups, one group pretending to study dragons and the other group pretending to be dragon slayers and needing the egg fragment to scry the beast.<br/><br/>Sadly, that event would happen without his input, so his only remaining option was to wait for a dragon meeting, and hope either Fynny or Amvaeran got an invitation.
