This came up a couple of months ago. Someone was wondering whether there
were bloodlines in Djapar and the Dragon Islands, and if so, how. I
suggested that perhaps they didn't have actual bloodlines (i.e. from the
gods) but perhaps had something that worked in a very similar way by being
descended from polymorphed dragons. I hadn't seen the demi-dragon stuff
yet at that time, but I take it the idea is similar. This makes a certain
amount of sense when you realize that 1.) dragons have have holdings and
cast realm spells, and 2.) the Cerillian dragons couldn't gain divine
bloodlines (it says somewhere, I think the Torazin the Grey article, that
a few dragons participated in Deismaar, but that the godspower just
"rolled off of them" like water off a duck's back). Anyway, I think that
would create a culture that was interestingly distinct from Cerilia (I'd
imagine somewhat oriental, with a "dragon emperor.")
