[QUOTE="Cap'n Kobold, post: 7127290, member: 6802951"] It would be far-fetched. - but her parents didn't have to have actually known that. Vol doesn't have descendants as such - although if any of her relatives survived the purge, they might have. Or wanted immortality for their daughter. - Its worth remembering that the Blood of Vol isn't an evil religion as such: most followers seek to help each other. The parents might have been trying to kick-start the divinity within their daughter's blood by feeding her dragon's blood. Or, an actual dragon might have infiltrated/been part of the cult and she ended up unwittingly drinking its blood as part of a ceremony. Or a ceremony/ritual to awake the divinity within her blood managed to awaken the latent power of a forgotten dragon ancestor instead. Made a pact with a dragon warlock-style perhaps. Does the sorcerer herself follow the Blood of Vol? Which Draconic origin is the Sorceror? If its a lightning-based one, it would fit fine with the Dragonmark of Storms. Likewise if the sorceror player doesn't necessarily want a definite tie to dragons and you're willing to do a bit of refluffing, the sorcerer could be getting their abilities from other sources. A good-aligned fire-based one could be a channel for the Silver Flame for example. If she was caught in the Mourning, that could be another possible origin for her powers. She might have had no magic, or a completely different type of magic before being warped by exposure. Maybe she was attacked and merged with a living spell created from a dragon's breath weapon rather than an actual spell? [/QUOTE]
