Long, long ago, the dragons came into [[First Drgaon-Yak war|conflict]] with the [[
Scintilla and at least one [[Ancient Dragon Lord]] who came after him seem to have been benevolent rulers, though others-like [[Scales]]-seem to have been greedy and self-serving. The latter attitude seems to have become prevalent among dragons as a whole, as they would seek territory for themselves beyond the Dragon Lands with little regard for anycreature already living there.
