[QUOTE="s/LaSH, post: 489021, member: 6929"] Long since lost track of numbers... In my campaign, dragons have been around for all of history (and in fact date back fifty million years before that). Their civilisation works on a different time scale to ours, and because dragons are fiercely individualistic, they normally live out their lives without interacting with their peers. And their lives are long... the one dragon you can see on my website proclaims he was ancient when the Pyramids were built, and he was probably around when humans first crawled out of the trees.

A dragon rules what it surveys with an iron fist, but rarely uses that fist because it has the patience to wait.
