Even if he was killed to avenge someone he killed. See where this goes?The acepted good/honorable/lawful behaviour for many human societies was and in a few cases still is to have bloodfeuds. One cousin of yours tries to rob your neighbor, and is killed in self defense. You are obligated to kill one of your neighbours (male) family in response. And they are obligated to kill one of yours, should you succeed, in return.Now, call me cowardly, evil or whatever, but if I was living in a world where I'd have to expect such acts of vengeance even and especially from good and honorable people then I would see "familicide" as just anotehr form of self defense, sparing me the untold suffering such a blood feud would bring on my family.Given to what length that evil dragon went to make V suffer, and how important family was to her, I'd guess that most of her brood share her views, and I'd assume that even the non-evil of her brood would most likely feel compelled to enact some revenge after the first wave of dragons trying to avenge their ancestor were killed.</blockquote>
