1. The ghost dragon which lurks in the caverns of Ascelion. Beyond that, if any dragons escaped the great purge seven hundred years ago, they have hidden themselves so well he has not seen the slightest hint of them. And he has looked, very thoroughly indeed.
2. Given her unusual circumstances, Ire believes human magic ought to open up possibilities for her. He encourages her to study all the aspects as thoroughly as possible, though he regrets that complete control may not be feasible without grounding in what humans call the Curriculum of Dictation.
3. For most of history, dragons enslaved humans and ruled over them with an iron claw. Humanity only escaped by managing to master magic and catching the dragons by surprise, and wizards generally concede that if not for that surprise, the rebellion would have failed. Even one dragon would be sufficient to enslave all of humanity once again.
4. Humans killed them. Every single one. They believed, quite correctly in Ire's opinion, it was the only way to escape the bonds of slavery for good.
