The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

Yes, She'd like that. She really is fond of Selturma, and will grow to be fond of Rex as well.. they will be like family to her, even though she has lot of siblings, she' isn't that close to them. you can't really have a close relationship with so many other people..

Well, let's see... she's female, so that sets her beneath males of most ages... does she have any younger sisters?

Well, that's good to know. By this time, I'd imagine that her father is quite used to having children be born...

I'm sure he has some way of keeping track; his heirs DO have a claim to part of his estate... at least, his sons do.

Female Dracons cannot own land, though. Don't be too shocked; unfair and unjust as it is, the same has been true in many human societies for a long time. I mentioned it in my wiki entry. That said, a female CAN inherit valuable jewels and finery, as well as money itself.

That doesn't shock me at all. it happened in England for centuries. women were property.. I'm playing against type here, it was usually up to the father whether his daughters got anything at all.

Isla can still bring a lot of money to a marriage; after all, no Dracon noble would think of sending over a daughter away without a dowry, and the larger, the better.

The reason why Isla is not married right now, is because her marriage is not needed. Her father status as onew of the most powerful nobles is secure, and given her position as a youngster in the family, she's not marrying an eldest son, in all likelihood.. unless her father thinks it would bring him an advantage

The noble's children are an asset, and like many assets, it is best to save them until they are needed. Dracon females can breed throughout almost their entire lives, and they don't show signs of age until their last 30 years of life... keep in mind that they live for about 50% longer than humans do.

Good post about the drawings; I was afraid for a moment that you were going to have her draw nude dracon females, possibly in suggestive poses. Then again, that just reveals my pessimism.  :lol

She might have been like that, but there are a few things to remember. First, many of the eggs laid will be duds. Second, many of the hatchlings will not survive their first years. Third, many Dracons who do survive childhood often die in war or disasters.

Also, I think you might have it backwards; same-sex relations are forbidden among the Dracons, so why would they allow males to draw nude males, and females to draw nude females? If anything, it would be the opposite.
