[QUOTE="Remathilis, post: 9722926, member: 7635"] The PDKs are being described as a having a much larger area than just Cormyr now. They are global, even if they have their seat of power in the Dales. Space isn't an issue. PDKs are also diplomats. They got bonuses to diplomacy and were polyglots. And I would guess they would act like Jedi: keepers of the peace, not soldiers. Were. As stated, they have grown beyond just the kingdom of Cormyr. They have to have a larger call than to spread Cormyrian hegemony for that to be true. Per the UA "Although the Purple Dragons were originally founded in Cormyr, new recruits are enlisted from any realms where chivalry is in abundance, including the Silver Marches, Damara, and Chessenta." That tells me they are interested in something larger than Cormyr. Not entirely. They both seem interested in diplomacy first, but will not back down from a fight. Per Fizban, they are more esoteric and interested in planar incursions, so it's absolutely possible that a planar incursion (say, in the heart of Myth Drannor?) would lead some amethyst dragons to ally with humanoids both seeking to stop them.
