>>5726523The Rex and his sister once more argue over what to do with the prisoners. The Rex seeks total elimination of these foul vermin; they are worthless, ugly things, unfit to see the light of day, carriers and spreaders of disease. Our ancestors left them alive, and what did it earn us? Suffering and death at the hands of their intentionally-spread illness. Furthermore, their religion runs counter to our own, and our beloved dragons are demons to them. His twin argues that they can be useful, perhaps as labor or house-servants, even shock-troops to send in waves against an enemy. The presence of the dragons alone would cow them into submissiveness, as they have developed a taste for rat-goblin flesh.
The Rex argues that bringing them into our lands and homes is only inviting future disaster, as would be leaving them alone; one allows them to conspire within our very homes, and the other allows them to regroup and try again in the future. People have suffered and died due to their disease-spreading, and putting them all to the torch would only improve the future. The sister yet feels that if they were controlled, perhaps through a system of neutering most males to prevent large warrens from forming and out-of-control breeding, they could be a valuable (if expendable) resource.
The thirdborn son suggests seeking guidance from the naga, but his suggestion is yet again drowned out in the passionate debate of his siblings.
