[QUOTE="Graf, post: 3007716, member: 3087"] I hope that would be clear. Obviously I could be wrong, but if the goal is to make a "collaborative version of a world ruled by dragons" then having it state "but its really ruled by X" where X = demons, magic items, drow, etc. seems to violate the original agreement. It's also endlessly iterative... the magic items were made by dwarves, who were being controlled by squirrils, who were manipulated by mind flayers from the future who want to insure they'll be created, etc. etc. Since there have been three "responce posts" I'll drop something else out: The green dragon Monistral rules a small centrally located Dragony, Verdun, which features verdant forest-covered valleys and mountains. She inherited her position from her father, Krazral the Savage, after he began an unusually lengthy slumber several centuries ago. Cunning and charismatic she exposes a philosophy of “self-interested good”; i.e. that she behaves in a good manner only because it will result in long term gains. Attempts to divine her alignment by magical means have so far produced contradictory results. Originally her neighbors, pleased to be free of Kazral’s unpredictable and voilent behavior, were willing to overlook her assumption of her father’s position. In the proceeding years her deft use of Verdun’s location between three larger and more belligerent Dragonies has considerably strengthened Verdun’s economic and social position relative to the days when Krazral ruled and solidified her position as its unchallenged monarch. In hyper-competitive draconic society Verun’s growth as an economic power and Monistral’s relative youth have rankle those around her but the Dragony’s growth as a regional trade hub, and the stability provided by the buffer zone her Dragony represents, prevents her neighbors from acting overtly against her or Verdun. Her tolerant attitude toward her subjects, reports of secret trade routes with nearby dwarven kingdoms as well as of wizardry and other “deviant” behavior also have drawn notice. This tolerance and prosperity make her generally popular with her subjects, especially those who remember the story’s of her psychotic father’s rule however a subset of Kobolds are complain that the freedoms allowed the "scaleless*" are making them "uppity". *=a pejorative term for intelligent creatures without the draconic type or subtype (i.e. PB races). [edit=in keeping with thread rules the only edit changes were some, very bad, spelling corrections.] [/QUOTE]
