Paper Dragons are not truly living creatures. They are pieces of parchment enchanted by magic, and as such, are very vulnerable to fire. However, they behave almost like dragons. The only place where their behavior differs is breeding: paper dragons cannot breed.

Unfolded, this large paper dragon forms half of a map showing the ancient land called Alba. It consists of a mountainous area surrounded by rocky islands and wild sea. At the bottom is a red dot marked "Mirhana's cottage". There are small pictures of dragons denoting various clans and families. Four clans of Guardians and Silvers, proud and stubborn, live near the coast in the north-west. Several large families of other mountain breeds live deeper in the Highlands. Their territory is dotted with packs of water and forest dragons inhabiting the lochs and woods. Various Blacks and their family occupy the rough islands to the north; raiders and warriors, they are a menace to the other clans. Clan Dealain and the Frosts have taken the fertile lands in the south-east. A few arrogant Golds aside, they are peace-loving and meek. On the snowy mountain peaks lives a family of Winter and Ice dragons. Cold-hearted and haughty, they mix only with their own kind.
