Courtship Ideals
Female dragons took the lead when it came to breeding, choosing their mate largely based on the size of the hoard of prospective males. Because of this, male black dragons would often brag about their accumulated wealth to communicative creatures or others of their own kind, in the hopes that rumors of their hoard would spread to any females in the area that were looking to mate. When two or more females selected the same male as their partner, they would fight for dominance high in the air above the lair of the male, allowing him to gaze upon his future mate's victory in admiration.

History
Green Dragons were created in -1200cr by Tiamat. They were the soldiers and torturers of her army. When she was banished in -60cr, they fled to hades, where they would fight yugoloths for the next few years. In the year 10wr, they saw the creation of the Material plane, and fought their way into it.There, they would live in the swamps of Ovak, and ate everything they saw. When Humanoids began appearing in 34wr, the black dragons would continue to eat everything, but also eat the Humanoids. The Black Dragons went to Godsen only a year after the Green Dragons did. During the Calamity event, nothing of importance happened to the Black Dragons, as even though their territories got more dangerous, they were already very dangerous.
