Hello again everyone I have another questioned that puzzled me, and so here I am! First of all let me start by saying that this idea is a little out there but would make for a great story. So I wanted to add a Dragon to my campaign with a rather odd background, let me explain further...
This dragon has loomed over the area for years. Every 15 years or so he comes to the towns and demands tribute for his protection. I want to point out that this is fair, he kills many monsters and would be villains in order to keep the area safe, sometimes (rarely) even at great personal risk to himself. Therefore his request is just, and not a tyrannical one. He accepts offerings of treasures, magic items, master craft quality items, ect. but he also appreciates the offering of a young woman. He is not vulgar or rude and doesn't mistreat them infact, he treats them very well! Buying them lavish gifts, treating them with honor, and giving them the respect a woman deserves. He does how ever ensure his line is continued, to put it politely. To be the young lady chosen is not a curse, but rather a blessing. Some even hope and pray that their daughter is chosen! For this means that the dragon believes both the family worthy,as well as the daughter smart enough and beautiful enough to take as his wife (Nobles more often than not). He cares for them until they die, catering to their every need in their old age and ensuring that they live care free. He does this with every town, of coarse visiting smaller ones less than bigger ones so that the girls may grow to be women before he chooses them.
I would describe this dragon as gentle and kind to all who believe in peace. He has a wonderful relationship with the humans and Elves of the area. Although he does have many half-dragon children running around he cares for each wife as an individual, and respects all law abiding peaceful races.
I have no idea which type of dragon this should be! Does taking a daughter as an offering make him evil? (mind you the community and the women in question consider it a blessing) What dragon would engage in polygamy among Elves, Half-Elves, and Humans? Is this common? Rare? Is this whole idea outlandish and crude? I figured a being of such great power, and intelligence wouldn't mind the company of beautiful intelligent women.
I came back 4 years later...
Sometimes I look back on these posts and I ask myself. Exactly how drunk was I that night? The night I wrote this...I must have been TRASHED!
