Following the campaign, Perscitia set about building pavilions. Dissatisfied with the tardiness and poor quality of the cows rationed to them by the government, she urged the other unharnessed dragons to carry commercial goods to London and other towns, earning more money to buy their own food. This lucrative business drew complaints from carters (their direct competition, as the dragons were much faster than carts drawn by horses or oxen) and the general public (unaccustomed to seeing dragons overhead or nearby). The government complained about heavy-weight dragons running all over the countryside; the dragons of the London covert were urged to prevent the unharnessed dragons from landing there with their goods, but saw no reason to enforce the ban after Perscitia gave them an explanation (and some non-governmental cows). | Following the campaign, Perscitia set about building pavilions.
