I mean in a campaign world that has seen something like 30 years of adventuring PCs have never explored a fraction of the entire world. Who knows what dragons are out there? Its only really relevant to consider what dragons exist within the area the players normally explore. Within that area there the number of dragons which make sense for there to be based on what adventures are going happen, plot necessities, etc. If there is for some reason a dearth of dragons then either there are other ones located in more distant locations which can serve the purpose or one or two new ones show up. After all if an area becomes denuded of dragons then surely there are a few elsewhere that might decide to move in.In general I try not to pin things like this down too much. It usually turns out eventually whatever number you come up with creates some inconvenience. Just as well to leave it an open question in general. In my world the PCs know about certain dragons that are significant powers. Lesser ones? They usually find out about those when they become inconvenient or significant or they happen to be jonesing for a place to pick up some treasure.</blockquote>
