Dragon Monarchs

>>51586230
Actually, another thought that popped into my head: Would they rule by the worship from the people, or would they rule via fear? Good vs Evil dragons, it's just an interesting concept, I think. Love seeing what /tg/ comes up with.

>>51586324

Little column a little column b. worshiping asshole gods and monsters is hardly uncommon. No doubt the masses as a whole would feel downtrodden but there's bound to be a few cults here and there pushing things in a direction.

They are gods who's worshipped was earned when their followers liberated a country from despotic rule and over time all people in the country will be "uplifted" and made into Dragon-Blooded as the ultimate goal of dragon gods is to turn all people into dragons so they can claim rulership of everything.

However they are picky and can afford to take their time so only through religious observance and actions that benefit the Dragon Blooded earns one's family the right to become one.

>>51587163
And how would one becone dragon blooded? Eldest daughter impregnated by the king? Or maybe theyr are magically turned into dragonborns?

>>51587619

either you or a suitable heir from your family are married to a Dragon Blooded family and their children will be born as Dragon Blooded. The humans of the family are no longer allowed to bare children as the Dragon Blooded children will carry their name.

The place of intelligent dragons is best filled with giants, for whom it'd make sense to have human or higher intelligence and desires.

Why wouldn't a sentient Dragon Eat a princess? He could have a little more fun with it too, Maybe taunting the heroes.

>>51586230
This is actually a setting seed I was playing with for a while, mixing the Empire from Warhammer Fantasy with Draconic Dukes, Dragon Blooded that have family trees that may or may not resemble the Habsburgs (gonna keep that boodline pure), and humans as 2nd class citizens just because dragons will be dragons.

>>51586230
With your traditional dragon they're going to direct all their efforts towards acquiring wealth with little regard for the well being of the kingdom. Essentially kleptocracts to the nth degree.
This is a pretty good starting place for some sort of blunt social commentary but is pretty limited in what kinds of kingdoms it can produce.

>>51586230
You would have to have travel permits to leave the country.

They never existed, grognard faggot. If Tolkien's not old enough for you, they were already like this in the Holy Bible.

>>51589738
Kinky

They would be incredibly strange, being giant magic lizards wearing a "human" skin. It's more likely the fact they're a dragon is fairly secret to most.

>>51593673
what do you mean?

>>51593673
Why would you keep it in secret? Who would defy the rule of a literal dragon?

>>51586230
Actually, for most of the people, it would not be much different. Common folk are not gonna have any contact with royalty anyways. Maybe they will be more fearful of the power of their overlord than normal, but that's really it and if they're starving to death they will revolt anyways since a lot of peasant revolts were made against the nobility and not the king. The nobles will probably be easier to control by the state, which means that it will be a relatively centralized and orderly kingdom compared to it's neighbours unless the dragon simply gives no fucks about improving his land (which may be). As a counterpart to the prosperity caused by this, a kingdom ruled by a creature capable of living hundreds of years may suffer an steroid-ridden version of the stagnation caused by a lot of historical long-living monarchs.

Having a dragon-king has it's most important consequences in diplomacy and foreign relations. For starters relationships between states will be harder, specially if marriage based alliances are a thing (and they probably are). Also the dragon kingdom will probably be perceived as powerful and threatening, which can cause coalitions against it. In a sense the dragon kingdom will be in a situation similar to the Habsburgs who were powerful but had a small amount of allies and an enormous amount of enemies of very different nature. The dragon would need to be very careful to not do any movements that can be perceived as aggressive.

>>51593870
Something to with honey and flies?

>>51594026
If people come to kill you because they know you're a dragon, they will come to kill you too if they believe you're a human. And in greater numbers. Tyranical rich humans are easier to kill than tyranical rich dragons.

So unless you enjoy surprising people who comes to kill you, there's no real motivation to conceal your identity.

This changes if there's some kind of cultural or religious stigma specifically against dragons, of course, but OP never said there was one.

>>51594095

They are not. The devil gets called a dragon though. But more like an insult I believe.
The sad truth is that the intelligent dragons in Tolkien and other modern dragons find their roots in Fafnir from the legend of Sigurd. But Fafnir wasn't a dragon at all, he just had the shape of one.

>>51594285
If that's your reasoning, then you want giant serpents since they are old school dragons, e.g. Tiamat and whatnot.

>>51593829
I should specifically said reptiles, not lizards. In either case they're not humanoid, they're not warm-blooded, they do not feel or express emotions as humanoids. They have origins in the Time Before.

They keep it secret because it's easier to rule as a humanoid, then as a dragon. The reptile is the enemy of the mammal, better to wear the face of the ally than the enemy. They still carry and air of mystery around them, and while humanoid in form, this mask is distinctly "other" adding to the mystery.

They may come to try and kill a dragon, they will come to try and kill a corrupt human. They will be a bit reluctant to try and kill a "thing" in human skin.

Why do people come into a broad hypothetical question thread with the preconceived notions of their own special setting and spouting those off as facts?

Why don't you pose those thoughts as questions, so that you can contribute to the thread and maybe the discussion will help you build upon your own ideas and settings?

>>51586230
Chances are excellent you would never find out because they would be ruling by proxy rather than doing the ruling themselves.

>>51594572
>>51594579

We're talking about dragons. There is no "fanfic" here, just common conceptions.

Of course we're going to come into a hypothetical question thread with our own conceptions. What you consider a dragon is not necessarily the same as what I consider a dragon.

Some people like their dragons are fundamental forces of nature. Others like them with very feline behaviour. I just like them as immense magical reptiles. Reptiles aren't human, they don't express emotions as we do.

I just see dragons as magical beings, pure power wrapped in scales.

>>51594885
Oh, don't get me wrong, I prefer my dragons to be firebreathing T-rexes with wings capable of flight in place of their shitty little arms. But this is stupid. First, "dragons existed long before the mortal races came into being" is not a common conception, because most fantasy settings have everything created at once. Second, do you really think that when a lizard looks at you, he thinks to himself "A mammal! He is my enemy, because ever since the age of reptiles ended mammals have been running the show from a global view of biodiversity"? No, he thinks you're his enemy because you're one or more of the following without being a mate as well
>rival for food supply
>prey item
>potential predator

>>51594996
>First, "dragons existed long before the mortal races came into being" is not a common conception

In most cases of D&D worlds it is. Says in the 5e Monster Manual Dragons were one of the first things to walk the world, with Giants coming very soon after.

>Second, do you really think that when a lizard looks at you, he thinks to himself "A mammal! He is my enemy, because ever since the age of reptiles ended mammals have been running the show from a global view of biodiversity"

No, but I don't care what the animal ACTUALLY thinks, I only care what makes a cool or interesting scenario to play in. Dragons, being creatures of prehistoric times, once worshiped as demigods by the reptilemen empires of the Time Before, whose glories are now lost to time, whose machinations are considered legend or conspiracy.

Ultimately I prefer my fantasy pulpy as hell.

>>51594703
>Of course we're going to come into a hypothetical question thread with our own conceptions
That doesn't mean you have to run around spouting nonsense as fact and being unhelpful. It's essentially the same as making a thread asking for help and ideas about an emperor in your setting and someone coming in and saying that it doesn't matter because the Emperor is dead asleep and a psychic beacon for all humanity and doesn't need to worry about politics or having any interesting problems.

It's not helpful. And you know what they say about people who assume.

>>51594801
>Mammals overtook the world after the fall of the dinosaurs. Of course they're the enemy.
That's a hell of a stretch. In nature it's a free for all. Reptiles, fish, mammals eat their own kind all the time.

You're implying that there's some sort of blood feud between cold blooded and warm blooded animals simply because "lol lizards and snakes are like dinosaurs!"

So the fuck are birds, genius. Literally fucking modern little shitty dinosaurs.

>>51595150
>Says in the 5e Monster Manual Dragons were one of the first things to walk the world, with Giants coming very soon after.
And where does it say that they were around for untold eons before the mortal races were created? This prehistoric otherness you go on about just isn't there.

Most peasants and serfs only see the monarch on parade days, and their lives are already about as straightforward and lowly as you can get, so I imagine the only difference would be that parade day is SUPER exciting since there's gonna be a giant dragon flying around as opposed to a dude or a chick riding a horse.

Being a noble in such a kingdom would potentially be more dangerous, but by-and-large since the ruler is a fucking dragon and not a chick or a dude who could, if necessary, be killed by a knife to the back, they'd probably keep their squabbles to themselves.

Being a knight would be cool. I imagine there would be a lot of mythology and heraldry concerning dragons and the like, and since the nobility are being well behaved you have a lot more time to pursue your own interests rather than fight skirmishes. I actually imagine you'd see a lot more decency and honour among the knights since the kingdom is stable.

Of course, all this effectively assumes that the dragon is sitting atop the kingdom AS a treasured hoard, and not using the kingdom to make a hoard, in which case it's tyrant fascism nightmare land as the dragon threatens everyone into giving him/her all their money and tolerates their existence only as long as they continue paying the draconian tax rates.

Having this attitude will get you nowhere. Use answers for inspirations. If something doesn't fit with your preconceived notions or world, maybe you can draw just a little something from it. Thinking everyone should have the same expectations as you is foolish.

>>51595210
>You're implying that there's some sort of blood feud between cold blooded and warm blooded animals simply because "lol lizards and snakes are like dinosaurs!"

The intelligent ones sure, since it's a dogma that's persisted for eons from the survivng stone tablets and records written in the reptilian language of their prehistoric empire, what's jealously guarded by the primitive reptile-men tribes today.

I've always thought of modern!dragons as bankers. Besides the fact that this gives them an excuse to sleep on gigantic piles of gold dragons can afford to play the long game and carve their ledgers in actual stone. Sure, lending out money is painful but there's the promise of more money in return. Once paper money takes off a dragon never has to loose it's treasure again.

Don't forget continuity. The fact that the same dragon will be outliving generations of neighboring non-dragon dynasties (except maybe elves, in *some* settings). And it will be getting more powerful throughout its reign. If you want to stop it, better do it early.

In the campaign I ran that I used this idea, the players chimped out on that principle despite the dragon not being terrifically evil or uncooperative. of course they were encouraged to do this by friendly NPC who was secretly a good dragon in disguise, so reptilians were still in control

>>51599328
Absolutely love this game.
Also, on topic, the Reptites are a good example of an early reptilian culture.

>>51586230
Honestly, depends entirely on the dragon, assuming standard dragon, probably not much different from more tyrannical rulers prone to heavy taxation

>>51586324

>>51602441
Fetishes aside, imprisonment is actually a fairly modern way of punishing criminals, historically it was mostly used ONLY as a way of holding the prisoner until the actual punishment could be applied (and if not already determined, until a suitable one could be thought of)
Punishments for crimes back then were mostly in the form executions, mutilation, corporal punishments, and shaming
Assuming standard a somewhat historical psudo-middle age setting there wouldn't be any prison infrastructure except for the equivalent of an overnight holding cell, a (Usually) gilded for politically sensitive prisoners, and/or something to keep a lot of disposable people on hand run by a sadist with power

>>51602441
Elaborating on my second thought >>51602632, "Throw them in the dungeon and let them rot" was mostly done in stories to show how cruel the ruler was, both showing they HAVE a dungeon that can keep someone long term and to show how the person would be kept locked up so they could be kept on hand to torture with no care about justice or how the ruler intends to kill them via starvation instead of a "nicer" way of executing them

An option I'd be fine with, well as long as they somehow retain their sense of self, regardless I do love the idea of a tyrannical dragon queen using magic (or really anything) to reduce her former enemies to something fit only to worship her glorious dragonic form like the god empress she is, slowly growing to understand and despite their wishes even love their place as mere toys to serve her desires and lusts, with the ever present threat hanging over their heads of her eating them if they displease their new goddess, or even if she just gets bored

I know of the Dragon Blooded in Exalted but never bothered to read about them. I hope I didn't just describe them word for word.

What I'm going for is basically the Deep Ones as Dragons along with Aurthorian overtones as well

>>51605352
I actually think it's more a kin to some of the early lore for D&D's dragonborn

>>51595918
Exalted definitely doesn't own anything about the concept of the dragon blooded. They're basically a pastiche of Melniboneans and Element Benders.

"Dragon Blooded" is just a poetic name, DBs aren't genetically related to Dragons in Exalted, just like Dragonborn in 3e are not born of dragons or born that way and Hellbred are not bred in hell or bred in any way.

>>51605352
>I hope I didn't just describe them word for word.

You didn't.

Exalted Dragon Blooded: The dragon gods (what would be considered gods in any D&D setting, like the Valar would be considered gods in D&D as well) gave inheritable, elemental themed power to 9k women and 1k men. Mass inbreeding resulted in an army of super soldiers. Cross breeding between humans and dragons happens has literally nothing to do with dragon blooded, that produces god blooded, DBs have no draconic features whatsoever.

D&D Dragon Blooded: They are, uh... related to dragons. What a fucking surprise.

Nah, it adds a weird evocative element to the world, that draws on dinosaurs, and the serpent-men of Conan, and reptilian consipracy theory. Weird fun stuff.

I don't give a shit about the actual scientific dinosaurs.

I care about the pulp dinosaurs. Those dinosaurs don't have feathers, have a whole lost island to themselves, and can be resurrected from fossils.

Hell I have a demilich dracolich that's straight up a black oozing t-rex skull carried on a palanquin of reptilemen. This skull is like the religious leader of the Black Wing sect of the Fivefold Temple of the Glistening Mother.

>>51607809
This.

Earliest Dragonborn lore was that they were made when you totally gave yourself over to Bahamut, and then were put into a transmutation egg where your body would morph into a Draconic form. People saw it as scaly bullshit, I saw it as body horror goodness.

That's why Dragonborn have tits by the way, they were originally other humanoids.

>>51615178
>That's why Dragonborn have tits by the way, they were originally other humanoids.
I always assumed dragons were more like something that would have come from the part of the evolutionary tree where mammals and reptiles branched off so them having mammalian traits like hair or tits doesn't seem out of place for me

I mean, assuming that your dragon lives for thousands of years, unless the kingdom is relatively new there are going to be a lot of people who think its pretty normal. Would only take a couple generations for people to get used to it.

That could actually be a fun twist if bodyswapping magic was already hinted at

I actually had a dragon as one of the rulers of a powerful empire in a setting I ran a long time ago, so here goes.

Empire was basically forged by a legendary hero-king that's basically this world's Big E but without quite so much worship of him. He went around and kicked the asses of just about every nasty monster and asshole as he expanded and conquered. He strong armed them into working for him as advisers and whatnot. The few that agreed formed his weird little inner circle along with his actual followers and friends. Dude was still mortal, though, so eventually he died and this cadre of Dragons, Liches, and Evil Shitheels decided to just keep running the empire in secret through proxies since they liked being in power and it was easier to usurp with folks not knowing their local congressman was a fucking Lich.

Flash forward about a century and said empire is a corrupt mess but still wealthy and powerful. A Black Dragon is the most active of the Cadre running things and is eventually outed by the party. There's a fight and he comes off pretty bad and is forced to run away. His next plan to defeat them and stop a revolt was to basically say "Fuck you, I'm a dragon" and go to the capital city's square when the players were making a big speech for people to rise up. His rebuttal was basically "I'm going to fly around and coat this city in acid that can melt mithril until I see you folks pick up a rock and try to bash these wannabe heroes faces in. These guys might be powerful but I'm faster and will kill as many of you as it takes to prove a point to them. You have a minute to decide."

Sadly the game imploded right after that so I didn't get to see how the players deal with basically an entire city out to kill them in a blind panic. But that's how I play Dragons as rulers; Arrogant, cruel, and not giving a single shit about what these monkeys think so long as they bend a fucking knee to their KING.

A player made some hilarious meme build that was like, monk 1 ranger (natural weapons) 3 sorcerer 4 Dragon disciple 4.
Use ranger and sorcerer to self buff for strength/natural weapons, have 18 strength to begin with, and then make natural weapon attacks at ridiculous everything.

>Related topic: How would you GMs handle your dragon monarch finding a mate and potentially keeping their lineage secure?
I'm... not actually sure, not sure a dragon would really have a major drive to keep the lineage secure, they live a LONG time (enough to outlast most halfdragons) and would probably see a dragonic heir as a rival

/tg/ in general seems to have a thing with vore. At least it seems to me that random vorefags show up whenever something even tangentially vore related gets mentioned. Plus, aside from dragons (which at least are well known for capturing and eating princesses), we've had vore-succubi, vorelolis, vore-elves...I'm pretty sure the random drawings of deep sea mermaids I did for one thread ended up being surprisingly well received due to attracting the attention of vorefags (not that I really mind; I'm happy enough if people like something I do, regardless of their reason).

there's an entire story arc in MTG as to the pros and cons of this idea. There are more cons than pros, but still more pros than Khans

That said, I think it depends heavily on exactly how dragons work in their setting, and whether or not you can design a culture based around the kind of ideals dragons in your setting would have. A narrative conflict your setting could play with could be that maybe dragon ideals and civilization just don't work well together because of how absolutely individualist they are? Alternatively, you could play with ideas like pic related, in which the dragons are actually about as far away in personality as you can get from the norm for dragons n media, and how their entirely non-aggressive personalities clash with how people perceive their monstrous forms.

Nope, I continue to shit, piss, and vomit extensively until it begins to go red as my body desperately finds material to disperse.

I've never met a vorefag who fantasized about being eaten, at least not fatally (endo/non-fatal vore is a thing). They usually just get turned on by somebody getting eaten.

I feel like the only reason why a Dragon would even want humans to rule over is for selfish lazy reasons and probably an egomaniac.

Dragon grows tired of life, wants to be worshiped and adored, Takes over kingdom and instills fear amongst everyone, Dragon chamber will be filled with dancers to appease dragon or tenders who spend every waking day brushing/cleaning the Dragon's scales, the whole economy would be centered on feeding dragon from tending a shitload of cattle, as generation grows by people all over that kingdom will literally revere it as a god as millennia pass by, Dragon banners everywhere, verything in that kingdom would be religiously and culturally centered on the Dragon, Dragon will grow an army of half bloods where the warriors who proved the most prowess and devotion to him/her is granted a chalice of Dragon blood to drink.

A fucking radical /tg/ drawfag, you shut your whore mouth. She used a halfling as her alternate form. Because she liked looking two feet up at human nobles, turning on her draconic presence, and watching them cringe and cower away from her.

>>51652649
Oh, they know full well they didn't. One of the party's best friends was her lieutenant. A tiefling who had been rescued by the party early on by accident, then wandered in and through sheer brazen chutzpah and how aghast it left the nobility, this escaped ex-slave managed to talk her way into serving as the dragon's Number One. Her status and service as the dragon's herald and magistrate horrified the rest of the nobility, insulted them, and somewhat softened the dragon's rule. She even managed to convince the dragon to ditch torture (albeit not spectacularly flash executions of those who say, stole from the red dragon) and as way of saying thanks to the PCs, hooked them up with some lucrative work from her boss.

They killed her in the final duel. Then the PC who wasn't present for the final duel, the CG wizard who'd been friends with Lieutenant and Dragon and been busy trying to neutral the dragon through friendship and enlightened self-interest shelled out to get Lieutenant resurrected.

Lieutenant then fucked off to find a way to raise her bestie, the dragon. Raising dragons is harder than raising regular mortals though, and she spent the next century or so frittering more and more of everything she ever cared about away in pursuit of her singular overriding goal.

She had a hard life.

she was strong and charismatic, but very dumb (low int, low wis) so I played her off as a spandex-wearing gymrat who liked to dance and sing and have a good time.

She was basically her boss's strongest muscle...then she developed a consciousness when her boss asked her to kill the party. Ended in her getting so drunk she "threw" their assassination on purpose, and the party killed her.

>>51607852

They're not genetically related, but their patrons are Dragons.

See, in Exalted, the Exalted all received their powers from a God or Gods. The Solars (the PC splat) get their powers from the Unconquered Sun. Others get them from the Moon Goddess or the Fates.

The Dragon-blooded, the weakest but most numerous of the Exalted, were granted power by the Five Elemental Dragons.

>>51595918
so you're the dragonborn huh? was it your mommy or your daddy thats the dragon?

I like my dragons to be like gods, particularly from a polythiestic angle. They're a mixed bag, and as such, you can make them whatever you want them to be when the story calls for it.

>>51659306
Of specific note; the other Exaltations get their super-divine super-powers from being fabulously awesome or proving worthy of them.

Dragonblooded just get a 50% chance to transmit them via bloodline or something.

So yes, they fuck everything that moves, because a bigger family is inherently better.

>>51660437

Yeah, it's why the Dragon-blooded were meant to be the soldiers (or cannon fodder). The Celestial Exalted, who had more individual merit, were the leaders and generals.
