Ged tells Tenar the story of the Ring of Erreth Akbe and how Ged discovered it:
"'And then one day on Selidor, the Farthest Isle, the land where Erreth-Akbe died in his battle with the dragon Orm–on Selidor I spoke with a dragon, one of that lineage of Orm. He told me what I wore upon my breast."
"He though it very funny that I hadn;t known. Dragons think we are amusing. But they remember Erreth-Akbe; him they speak of as if he were a dragon, not a man.'"
Ursula Le Guin, The Tombs of Ataun
