[QUOTE="mythusmage, post: 1326232, member: 571"] Many thanks. I'll be saving this, and giving you credit in the book. Since I'm writing... The dragon ages section aint ready yet, so you're getting some dragon evolution supplementary material. To whit: [b]Dragon Evolution Supplemental[/b] The ancestral 'gray' dragon may have been more a brownish color. This possibility is supported by the fact the oldest genus in the dragon family is the Cuprum, named after the type species. Along with the copper dragon the genus contains the brass, bronze, gold, red, and sapphire dragons. With the brass and bronze being descended from the copper, the gold and red from the brass, and the sapphire dragon descended from the bronze. From the red dragon comes the 'storm' genus. Comprised of the amethyst, blue (type species), emerald, and topaz dragons, this is the second oldest for the four genera. From the gold dragon arose the 'snow' genus. This is made up of the silver, white (type species), and crystal dragons. Recent discoveries would seem to indicate that the silver dragon actually evolved from the gold separately from the white, and so is not descended from the white. There is some controversy over whether the silver dragon should be included in the Cuprum genus, with the 'snow' dragons, or in a separate genus of its own. Last is the 'forest' genus, made up of the green (type species) and black dragons. Once considered the most primitive of the dragons thanks to their appearance and behavior, genetic studies have shown that the 'forest' genus is actually the most advanced of the family. (Coming up, "Watch the Dragon Grow". Or something like that.:)) [/QUOTE]
