The Badlands Dragons
A swarm of hundreds, wings beating as they eclipse the sun. A powerful ally - and a terrifying foe.
Structure
The Free Dragons follow the Scalemother , an older-than-Ancient Gold Dragon of immense Wisdom and Knowledge. The love and protect her as both a leader and a mother-figure. Among themselves, Dragons are either solitary or operate in smaller family units.
Culture
Each Dragon has a different approach to it, but all of them hoard to a certain degree. The majority focuses on riches and/or magical items, although it is not unheard of that Free Dragons build massive underground libraries of lore and magic.
Beyond that, Dragons are generally amicable to outsiders, especially Ya'rinites, many having ties to the Ya'rin-native Dragons like Yorvia . They take great pride in their liberty and will react violently if that is threatened.
Family and community are cornerstones of their culture, as well. If asked about their greatest treasure, a Free Dragon will always point to their children, hatched or not. When they mate, they tend to mate for life, but aren't necessarily monogamous, leading to large groups of mated Dragons and a whole army of little dragonlings.

Assets
Their hoards of wealth and sheer, physical prowess. They also control the Badlands and consider its wildlife their property.
History
It is unknown how long they have been united under the Scalemother, but their structures and hollowed-out mountains suggest a long history.
They were recently placed under sílean control through the use of magical collars that bound their will, had their hoards raided and their eggs stolen. The Scalemother has remained in a vegetative state, left to die, and fueling the Flesh Dimension with her own body. The Party managed to save her life, allowing her to liberate her people.
