[QUOTE="Silverglass, post: 1638148, member: 14071"] This is the closest to the reality. Although Naeron created the dragons they were a flawed creation, Naeron is not a creator deity so he took existing life energy, shaped it and created the dragons which he set free on the world. Thus his creations embodied death and destruction because those are the powers used in creating them, just as Parushan's creations' embody corruption. The later creations such as the Lizardfolk were done differently, the power expended was used to alter what already existed, so these creatures are less flawed. He wished to create powerful servants for war and so he did and he used them against both good and evil beings to ensure that neither gained the upper hand, because part of his purpose is to see that no deity or alliance of deities gains dominion over Aerde, however Dragons are free-willed and the original dragons and their offspring went their own way over time. They developed socially and became the dragons of today which may indeed be very different from what Naeron envisaged when he originally created them (this is why he latter created weapons that can be used against Chromatic dragon's). In the same way his lizardfolk, troglodytes and the rest can differ in alignment from their creator because that is how their society developed. They can even worship other deities. None of Naeron's children are outsiders whose alignment is part of their nature, they are free-willed beings who may acknowledge Naeron's role as their progenitor and some may indeed worship him, But they do create their own societies and thus their own alignments. So there would be Dragons (mainly the Lawful Blues and Greens) who worship Naeron and follow his teachings however there will also be CE dragons who delight in destruction and only acknowledge him as their creator. Just as the two nations of Galvar's dwarves are LG and LN, Naeron's children have differing alignments depending on their society. Paludosus is LN because the clerics of Naeron have had so much influence in its development and they follow the teachings closely. A distant tribe of Troglodytes will be chaotic evil and will probably not even know the name of their creator. [/QUOTE]
