One of the world's religions envisions the creator diety as a great dragon, but also believes in reincarnation. They believe that dragons are the highest form of terrestrial life.Being reincarnated into the form of an ultrapowerful dragon can be corrupting to the soul, however, so many younger dragons fall prey to lust, greed, and power - thus crossing paths with adventurers, and getting themselves set back a few notches in their spiritual progression.It's those dragons that have the wisdom to handle their powerful, new, timeless forms, and avoid interacting with the common races that eventually grow old enough to become forces of nature.</blockquote>
