All the dragons are chained yes? And when the Kin enter the cavern and see them, I am assuming that they will be 'drawn' to their dragon, but will they <span class="bbc_u">know</span> that they need to offer a blood sacrifice to bond with said dragon?<br/><br/>And you did mention that just because they are bonded doesn't particularly mean that said dragon will <span class="bbc_u">like</span> it. So what exactly will said bond comprise of?<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>It's more like this:<br/><br/>A few religious septs around the continent 'worship' the dragons of 'lore' as gods, although they aren't gods.  And although everyone, outside the religion, believe dragons are mythical beast's, a few people, mostly those who hold the highest positions in their church, know the truth about them, including the fact that long ago, there used to be individuals, with 'magical' abilities, that could communicate, and form bonds with their 'god's.'  It would have been one of these people who would have sent our characters group to the Northern region, to an obscure location believed to be where the Dragons disappeared to.  So they would have been told the extent of what those religious leaders knew, including the fact that feeding them blood was necessary.  But it's not as if said partnerships are predestined, so they wouldn't be drawn together, as if it's destiny or anything.  It'll actually be more like, they go to the first one they see.  Oh, and yup they are chained, which we'll deal with when it comes up.<br/><br/>Of course, they don't have to bond right off the bat, and if we want to go that route, than let me know so I can plan something out.<br/><br/>And I didn't say that either partner wouldn't like it, but it doesn't have to be sexual in nature.  If we had just completely made it random, and a straight male Kin was paired with a straight male Dragon, than their relationship would probably have ended up being friends, partners in battle, etc.  The partnership is just like any relationship, it can be between lovers, friends, partners in crime, there aren't any fixed parameters that say they must sleep with each other, or that they must like each other.  But that being said, partners are prone to helping each other out, they can speak to each other telepathically, know when one is in danger, feel what the other is feeling, if they want to, and locate each other easily.<br/><br/>And like I said, it's not permanent, so if a players character absolutely dislikes their partner, than they can just break the bond.<br/><br/>Since this question has come up.  If anyone else is unsure of something, or needs something cleared up, please ask now, before the game starts, so it doesn't come up later on.
