Did your parents leave this out of your education?Terralthra wrote:[
I'm assuming no such thing. You helpfully deleted the part of my post where I said "somehow related to a black dragon" and substituted "half-dragon", then kindly argued with that strawman by saying that he could just be "somehow related."
Brilliant! Assuming your goal was to look like a fucking idiot, anyway.
At any rate, that doesn't address my other question, which was the odds that everyone else in his band of guards for the gate were all related to him? He hired his own grandson or second cousin's grandnephew as a waiter at his isolated castle? Really?
Okay time for a talk Terra, why don't you sit down and I'll tell you a little story about the dragons and the commoners.
You see when a Dragon loves.. well pretty much anything very much and that other thing loves/is raped by the dragon we get what's called a half dragon. This Half dragon is half dragon and the other non dragon part could be anything but the blood tells. However after a generator or two the dragon blood begins to lessen, to become more dilute until something that is "directly related" yet "human" or whatever.
Which is the point you seem to miss but I can understand seeing as how it's obvious your parents never sat you down and gave you the topic of Ancestor Dragons.
*Edit
Let me repeat this again to be clear.
Drakentooth is Human with a capital H meaning he has between eight to fourteen generations where some spawn of a black dragon could have gotten with any of his distant ancestors and done the inter species tango resulting in today where a known paranoid illusionist and his guards which are recruited from among his distant family are all together in the big family temple when the big FU goes down and all die via epic accident.
