>>5815894A festival will be created, one that celebrates the crowning and selection of a new Rex or Regina, capping it off with a new series of rites of purification to ensure that no unnatural blood of any origin (infernal, abyssal, shadow, eldritch, vampiric, etc) makes its way into the leadership of our society. The festival is also a time of mermorial to the time of the threat of tainted blood, serving to reinforce the values of blood purity amongst the populace. Included in this is a celebration of the defeat of the demoness and her spawn, as well as the honoring the oaths of the wardens. Our society is happy that the problem is dealt with in the eyes of the majority; by simply exiling them, most people cease to think about them as anything more than a faraway issue, easily ignored.
Currently, the only means by which the island may be reached is by dragon, at least until sailing becomes commonplace. The dragons, though associated most strongly with the current ruling family, have memories that reach back far. Though two of the dragons were only born last age, and thus will not come of age for quite some time, the elder of our three dragons cannot so easily forget the strong ties with the family descended from the half-vampiric scions. In particular, as the only dragon his age was lost last age to a tragic chunk of debris from a falling meteorite, and now that he has entered young adulthood, he finds his heart longing for companionship. He has grown close to the now-deposed 11th Regina---some would say too close. The dragon makes frequent trips to the island for the express purpose of seeing her.
As prized treasures of the civilization, the activity of the dragon does not escape the current leadership. The foremost of the warrior-priests, seers and current royals and other associated community heads are concerned by the affection the dragon has for the woman. While this is primarily due to the worry over the wardens having influence over the dragon (and thus, influence over a very valuable asset to the society), the unspoken and unthinkable fear is the mingling of draconic and vampire-descended-elven/sylvian blood. The true origins of these dragons is as of yet unknown to us, and while they are useful, we must tread carefully on how they are viewed by our society.
Are we to forbid the dragon from seeing her? How will we sate the dragon's natural urges if so?
