Hi! I've been rereading & completing the different series of yours I have, my favorite being The Dragon's Hoard. I just find those sweet, silly, sparkly focused dragons really adorable. But a few questions keeps going through my mind like a hamster on a wheel: how do the dragons start their hoard, well how do they pay for their sparklies? Where do they get the money from, assuming they use that?

Mell Eight I love my Dragon's Hoard series too! Thanks so much for reading.

A dragon starts their hoard when they hatch with their hatching gem. That gem is the first and most important piece in their hoard.

It used to be harder to get sparklies. Dragons were quite proficient in mining way back when, but in current times they don't have to dig for gems any longer. So many dragons died in the war and their hoards have been slowly claimed by other dragons. If there is a gem that no dragon wants, someone might sell it for some coin. Sometimes the castle would gift Eldest with a gem or a statue as a token of their continued alliance.

Also, if you remember from the books, sometimes an older dragon will gift a part of their hoard to a younger.

Tori is a special case because he gets an allowance from the castle. Most dragons take a few hundred years to amass a decently sized hoard.

I hope I was able to answer your questions.
