Message: <blockquote data-quote="Tony Vargas" data-source="post: 6930585" data-attributes="member: 996">My current campaign, just another monster (I keep thinking I'll do something with the ambiguity of their being 'natural' creatures with elemental powers created by Io, and how that ties into the God/Primordial Dawn War, but it's never quite gelled).  In a short-lived 3.0 campaign I ran, though, they had a central role in the setting's backstory, as the eldest first sentient race on the world ("We are the First-Born Children of the Earth"), credited with creating most other life, and all other sentient life native to that world (Outsiders were another matter, of course).  Though it was never revealed the Draconic race was actually originally hive-like, the Dragons were the queens, and the kobolds the workers & drones.  The Dragons gained the ability to magically control their own biology, and interbreed with anything or even just willfully have hatchlings radically different from themselves, so the kobolds became superfluous, and the individual Dragons and their 'elder race' creations, increasingly individualistic and paranoid, leading to a mythic war period that had since been largely forgotten.  Humans and most other PC races were 'young races' (elves were the youngest 'elder race') dating from the end of the conflict, and adopting Gods instead of following/worshiping the Dragons that created them.  The few remaining dragons are paranoid, megalomaniacal individuals plotting endlessly against eachother, pursuing odd obsessions (like amassing hordes) or just fading into madness or merely sleeping for centuries at a time - or their recent offspring with no knowledge of their race's true nature.  There are also many dragon hybrids (half-dragon template!), including some that think of themselves as dragons but aren't really, or are taken for dragons, but aren't sentient, and of course, all the various 'drakes' that were in 3e.Actually, I submitted that world to WotC for that setting 'contest' they used to promote Eberron.  So technically WotC owns it or something.</blockquote>
