Dragon’s Clan
The members of a territory clan, people bonded with the territory dragon, are the dragon’s clan members. Being a clan dragon is an honor and a privilege, but it also comes with a an obligation to agree and support the territory dragon. If a clan dragon finds that they cannot support their territory leader they can make the decision to leave or they may be invited to leave. Only clan dragons build nests in a territory or have other rights granted by the territory dragon.
In the Combined Territories, Grabon and Heron are very aware that they have a clan made up of territory dragons. However, none of those dragons or humans want the responsibility of leadership. They would rather be clan dragons and lend their power and support to leaders they admire like Grabon and Heron.
Many humans with natural leadership abilities avoid leadership roles and powerful positions for exactly the same reason. Once again it is a common trait between some humans and dragons.
A dragon’s clan is a lot like a family.
