Whispers echo through the realms—tales of Guardian Dragons, the ancient keepers of wisdom who scattered their secrets across the land to protect them from being lost to time.
Now, the legends stir once more. The dragons’ hidden knowledge awaits discovery within the four great realms of Bridges Library System. Join a party of adventurers on a legendary journey. Visit libraries, gather letters and stamps, then piece together passwords to unlock the magic the dragons left behind. |
