BEADMAIL NO. 63 Dragon Rising

Even when the world falls silent, the dragon stirs — a surge of ancient strength reborn.
In the ashes of the Great Collapse, when the rivers ran black and the skies forgot the sun, the Dragon Boat Festival nearly faded into legend. China’s cities lay in ruins, her people scattered like embers across the globe. But traditions are not so easily erased.

From the wreckage of the old world rose the DRAGON RISING—a sterling silver relic forged in steampunk defiance. Wear this bead as a covenant. When the drums of the Dragon Boat Festival sound again, they beat not just for races long past, but for the unbroken chain of those who remember. The dragon does not sink. It ascends.
