The 3rd volume bears the title Ad Altáre Draconis - To the Altar of the Dragon, and specifically concentrates on the making of an altar from the perspective of aestheticism. The focus is therefore on the dextral horn of the Black Dragon and comes with the idea of being compelled, through the construction of the altar, to portray relevant beliefs that pertain to the relationship we feel we have to the Black Dragon.
Some of what is discussed is biographical while other parts touch on the authors work with Andrew Chumbley during the making of the Dragon Book of Essex, which is an undeniable source for the entire series, though it should be added this is always from the perspective of its co-founder Peter and the interplay of ideas they had at the time. There is consequently another aspect to this book which is it resonates a broader applicability for all those outside the confines of the Black Dragon series who may be curious to navigate and implement the construction of an altar.
