>It's going to be so much fun explaining to the dragon what religion is, and how religion is not actually a dragon.
I don't know that we want to try to correct Old One's understanding further; I don't really see anything fundamentally wrong with his interpretation, nor would he (or we) get any more value out of his understanding the abstract nature of the Light. We don't need to change how dragons see the world; if they want to keep believing that only a dragon could be stronger, er, AS STRONG AS as a dragon, let them. Seems like approximately zero chance that Old One will join the Light's horde/hoard directly; having him understand the Teachings and treat the Light as a powerful dragon he should ally with seems like the right result. And if he wants to believe that someday he'll have a Flight of Dragons with the Light, does that sound all that different from how others believe they'll join the Light in the afterlife?
Personally, I think the Light heard our conversation with the Old One and hasn't had this good a laugh in a long time.
We've already seen that the Light has many interpretations, stories, and followers. As long as the Teachings remain essentially the same, it doesn't matter if the details of the story change in the telling to fit the audience.
And speaking of stories, while I think we'll need to keep the details of the Old One's existence and location a secret, I think the story of bringing the Light and its Teachings to a Dragon will do wonders for Ssen's reputation as a paladin. Even Isen would have a hard time making that story any more over the top than it already is.
