    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.")
