Geocache Description:


Dragons’ Heaven

Have you not often enough asked yourself where all the dragons from the past ages have remained?
Which secret they are carry? Now, then listen well!

"Long ago, when man was young and the dragon already old, the wisest of our race took pity on man. He gathered together all the dragons, making them vow to watch over man, always. And at the moment of his death, the night became alive with those stars [the constellation Draco]. And thus was born the Dragons' Heaven. But when we die, not all dragons are admitted to this shining place. No, we have to earn it. And if we don't, our spirit disappears as if we never were. And that's why I shared my life force with a dying boy - so I would reunite man and dragon, and ensure my place among my ancient brothers of the sky. But...my sacrifice became my sin.

And now, without you Draco, what do we do? Where do we turn?
To the stars, Bowen. To the stars.

And in the days following Draco's sacrifice, Bowen and Kara led the people in a time of justice and brotherhood. As I remember it now, those were golden years warmed by an unworldly light. And when things became the most difficult, Draco's star shown more brightly for all of us who knew where to look." 1)



I hope, you also know where you can turn to if you would like to see Draco!!

Now, that’s your turn:

Find the constellation of the dragon [the constellation Draco] in the firmament. Determine the single stars and investigate the accompanying star names. 2)

With Draco's journey to Dragons' Heaven the star names something have got mixed up.
However, they are included completely in the following word queue:

KAPPAETAMINGRUMIUMDZIBANGIANSARALWAIDALDHUBAINTHUBANKUMAALTAIS
EDASICHTYLALDHUBAINOMEGA

Use the presentations in the appendix and determine the coordinates of Draco's Home, his cave where he stayed when he still held his wings about us. Draco's treasure is guarded by an old beech, some say, she looks like the same way as the world tree Yggdrasil.

note 2)
There is a double star in the constellation. The concerning name is included in the word queue therefore twice.
Two stars carry up to now only a Greek name and are already given.
In the 4000-year-old history of the astronomy it cannot be avoided that some stars have got different names in different cultures. Use only the names which are included in the word queue.

A knight is sworn to valour. His heart knows only virtue. His blade defends the helpless. His might upholds the weak. His word speaks only truth. His wrath undoes the wicked.
