In my own settings, it varies more. In the archipelago world setting of Albaron (working name. It's also the name of the kingdom which is he focus of my campaign) which is a sort of Mediterranean corsairs/Musketeers/Zoro meets Final Fantasy 9 sort of world, dragons fill two distinct roles. In the unknown west, dragons rule as god-kings, but as quiet enough in the last century or two that their vassals began to trade with Albaron and it's neighbors. Then the dragons woke, and saw the goods their servants had gained in trade, and sought to crush these foreign kingdoms, consume their gods, and rule over them. They lost that war, but vowed to return. OTOH, Albaron is also home to several other draconic species. Arkoskans (dragonborn), also called Sea Dragons, are similar to Polynesian people in culture, and make good neighbors most of the time, and terrifying enemies when appropriate. Then there are dragonlings, which are basically the little dragons from Riders of Pern, but they can talk. And there used to be a species of mountable drake, but it is believed to be extinct. In Chevar, the great dragons are stupifyingly awesome creatures. Basically gods. The Red Dragon of Wales, the White Dragon which is the adversary of the Red and patron of necromancers and granted Vlad Tepes power over death in exchange for his humanity, etc. lesser dragons are more like NPCs, guardians, gatekeepers, etc</blockquote>
