Dragons are jealous creatures, guarding their hoards and knowledge from all comers. Some few among the metallics are benevolent enough to aid those in need, but never at the expense of their own wealth. Scions of ancient wisdom and powers that near godhood in some worlds, dragons have been the centerpiece of any tale of glory or magic. Yet, there comes a time, even for dragons, when it is beneficial to split their power. Perhaps to empower a minion to act on their behalf, sowing discord among their enemies. Perhaps to protect their own lineage among the mortals, when a line fails to produce a sorcerer. Maybe they are willing to give a fraction of themselves for reasons beyond mortal ken, as they approach their twilight years and begun to understand the motivations of gods. None can truly know the motivations of a dragon, but there are a few individuals out there that benefit from their power, forming binding pacts with their scaled patrons.
