Dragons tend to be loner by nature or by obligation, we can say without a big inaccuracy that dragons are not very populous on Earth, not so many lucky people have seen dragons Dragons pass much of their time alone in their lair, they, during this time, learn about their environment and how to use it wisely. Because they are alone a great deal of time, most of them enjoy company of other dragons and even human as long as they hadn't come in the goal of stealing or conquest. It may be possible that dragons have some sort of council leaded by an elderly dragon but this yet has to be proven. Throughout history dragons and human beings have been unable to live peacefully side by side. As a result, mankind has not been able to benefit from ancient dragon knowledge. Man's craving for power and religious beliefs have kept Europe engulfed in interminable and bloody struggles. The dragon lords could not understand the reasons for man's self-destructive behavior, and kept well out of the way, retreating to remote hiding places far from all this confusion. Shrouded in mystery, the dragon's trail remained lost in the obscurity of legend. However, the dragons secretly pursued their quest for knowledge without completely excluding the human race, since they accepted and taught those few men who sought the essence of truth. We could wonder what would happen if the dragons reveal themselves to the eyes of the humankind... Would we be able to accept another form of intelligence probably far superior to our or would we feel the need to fight those, who at the end, could come to our rescue, and this under the only pretense that these beings make umbrage to us...? Dragons live in a highly organised society with their own set of laws and government, which all dragons live by. There is such a thing as murder, rape, theft, etc. with each criminal act having its own consequences. The best way to explain the dragon's society is to imagine it like ours. Dragons live in their own caves just like we live in our houses. They mate for life just like us, if they need something; they will pay for it if there is no other way to attain the item. They work together; helping each other out if it suits their needs. The hatchlings do go to a "school" where they learn from the elders. Etc. However there is a difference in a few places such as the basic instincts dragons have. Although they have basic instincts such as the love of money and the wish to live, etc. Dragon's basic instincts are more a way of life...more intense, from species to species. A red for instance, has a greater love of gold and other valuables then say, a gold. The red's temper is also the shortest of any other species'. Copper dragons have a real liking of playing jokes and always seem to be on a sugar rush. Coppers are also the most playful of the dragons.
