Legend of the Draconic Houses

Legend, myth, or conspiracy theory call it what you will but they are there. They range from whispers in dark corners of the local pub to a Countess telling her children about how if they trace their ancestry back far enough they may find a dragon in their lineage. For the past nine hundred years these stories have seemed to be nothing more than just that. That is until the recent release of dragonkind for their stasis imprisonment. Now what had been thought to be old wives tale or conspiracy theories have a lot more grounding in reality and not just drunk gibberish.
