There have been comments about the lack of major Female dragons
A few other things come to mind
Patterson in his guide to paranormals (main rulebook bit) comments
on a theory that the lesser dragons are the young of the greater
dragons.
This looks like a good topic for shadow rumor, lots of folks must
think they know something about dragon breeding habits, are they
dying out, increasing or what.
Folks do kill them (occasionally the planet earth gets a go as well)
I have heard of a comment in Earthdawn about the second age being
the age of dragons ??? any more rumors out there after all there are
plenty on elves from the fourth (eg Tir Taingire -open session e.t.c)

as to female dragons they might be quiet about themselves in order to
protect their young after all what wouldn't a corporation give to
have a private dragon hatchery (Q? - has Aztechnology already got one
considering the comments in Denver on thier featered serpents (yes
plural and 'thiers!!!') leaving feathers on the carpets.)
try hiding from em if you say too much though.

i assume dragons have to lay eggs to breed - but of course who said
they have to in reality? - and don't throw this lot at Dunklezahn -
if you're lucky you'll get to run away fast enough.


-- obviosly the best people to answer this lot are Harlequin and
friends(?) but i don't think you'll get far on that one either - he
has this annoying habit of not answering questions.
