Splendid! I haven't missed as much as I thought.
But, how do I get airborne outside the Battle Tower? I can't fly over the rim of the terrace in my personal chambers (a pity, since that would have been a neat way of coming and going), and I can't fly to the island from the fjords (once I rule the world, anyone in possession of antidragon barriers will die). And I haven't been able to find a space large enough to accomodate the dragon transformation at the base of the tower - but maybe I just didn't try hard enough...?
