Additional Information

Domestication

Due to their low intelligence, it is possible to "tame" one, by giving it gifts for no discernible reason. Doing so eventually causes the dragon to befriend the gift giver into doing tasks for them. This takes place over the course of Decades, and usually the descendant of the person trying to "tame" a white dragon is the one who manages to succeed. A "tamed" white dragon will assist the person who befriended it in any way it can, usually with violence, sometimes by helping them get to different locations.   In the event that the gift giving is stopped, even for a day, the process is considered null, and the dragon believes this to be a transgression against him or her.

History

White Dragons were created in -1200cr by Tiamat. They where the cannon fodder of Tiamat's army. When she was banished in -60cr, they fled into the plane of Ice. There, they hunted Ice Giants and ice elementals. In the year 0wr, the creation of the prime material plane did not faze the white dragons, until about 10wr, when they were driven out. There, they landed in the Continent of Ovak, and would find any and all frigid places to live. They hunted like large predators, and did not use their wings. Not much changed when humanoids began appearing in Ovak, except that White dragons used them for ice sculptures. Due to the warmer climate of Godsen, very few White Dragons are there, but an extremely small amount of them went there in 100wr, curious of them. During the Calamity event, most White Dragons froze themselves in ice to stay away from the Chaos insuing, thawing themselves out 300 years later.

Interspecies Relations and Assumptions

Like all dragons, White Dragons are despised by most mortal races, except Kobolds. However, they are hated more than normal due to the impossibility to bribe them, and their incompetence which leads to them breaking contracts, either by accident or on purpose.
