* Hoards are a central element of draconic culture in the ''Literature/ChroniclesOfElantra'', with the twist that a hoard can potentially be ''anything'' the dragon in question claims and is willing to fight to protect - for example, Elantra's emperor is himself a dragon, and his hoard contains ''the entire empire and everyone and everything in it.'' It's noted that in theory a hoard ''could'' be a giant pile of treasure, but most dragons would consider such a hoard to be rather uninspired, and that it's far more common in stories humans tell ''about'' dragons than among actual dragons. Amusingly, the draconic word that is usually translated as "hoard" is said to have a literal meaning that's even more direct and simple - "mine!"
