<strong>"Well, the villages and towns are only ruled by humankind - we occasionally take from them, or fly overhead just to remind them who is really in control. Though we do not get along, we agree on our superiority to the lesser beings, and as such, allow all access to the towns.<br/><br/>The forests are not owned by a dragon, that we know of. I mean, if you go North into the rainforests, then yes, there is Navi. She is green, I believe. But that is some distance away. The regular forest here is inhabited by lesser beings, though a few have set up their own little areas of rulership. You will find elves, lizardfolk, the serpent people, even one of the dragonkin who is trying to set up a religion dedicated to herself.<br/><br/>Oh, and there is a town where no-one lives. I doubt there is much there worth taking, though. It sat upon a mine, and a fire erupted beneath... the fires are sill burning, pouring smoke up into the air, choking people with the ash... you would probably be just fine, but no human lives there, and no true dragon has claimed it, presumably for the lack of space or wealth."</strong><br/><br/>It seems that the great black dragon is indeed trying to be helpful, actually respecting someone who can defeat her and force himself upon her.
