Writing the challenge posts is not necessarily done in alphabetical order. V : Volcano's I've Known gave the inspiration for featuring Tagachim, pushing aside the original topic of Trelleir. But the story of the rust-colored dragon who lived amongst humans is detailed in a meet the character post.
There were two sides to the volcano that is Mt. Tagachim. A narrow trail leads up
one side to a thick ice field. The other branch of the trail winds
through a forest of stunted trees to end at a rocky ledge overlooking a
volcano's lava pool.
The main inspiration for the mountain home of the mountain god, Tagachim, was the magnificent, snow-capped Mount Fuji in Japan. You can see the inspiration. Although I made a
visit to Japan, I didn't do the pilgrimage.

Mount Tagachim appears in two the Dragshi Chronicles. It is where the Empress Mirabesh finds her destiny in the tale, "Fire and Ice" in the companion book, First Change. The legend is re-enacted in Hatchlings Curse when Lord Branin takes on the dragon form of his soul-twin and in the 300-year ritual presents the dragon law.
