[QUOTE="Celtavian, post: 486563, member: 5834"] [b]Re[/b] Ancient creatures of great cunning and magical power who ruled the world until other races grew in magical power. The only reason dragons don't rule now is because of their slow reproduction and territorial nature. They will not suffer other dragons, even their own young, to live within their territory and they will not form collective armies. Dragons view many of the other races as formidable and seek to avoid conflict with them. They understand that individually they are more powerful, but they are less numerous. The dragons understand that humans and other races often fight collectively and will willingly sacrifice one or many of their own to destroy the threat of a dragon. This make battling the lesser races a dangerous conflict that will most likely result in their own destruction while not really affecting the other races who can reproduce faster. Dragons understand that they will never be able to work together as humans and other races do, so they have removed themselves from the visible rulership of the world. They now reside in places where humans cannot easily reside or venture to, and they ruthlessly hold their territory making it just as dangerous for humans or other races to encroach upon their lands. They only hope that no other race decides to make a concentrated effort take what they have resulting in a conflict to the death. Some dragons tend to make treaties with the neighboring races to avoid conflict. This is how I view D and D dragons, though I have a different style of dragon for a homebrew world. [/QUOTE]
