Thralls make life so much more pleasant. | | 5 | I will go to great lengths to obtain deadly new magical knowledge. | | 6 | Nothing lasts forever. But I promise to outlast you. | | 7 | I have witnessed the rise and fall of civilizations. What consideration does a creature as pitiful and short-lived as you deserve? | | 8 | Collecting antiquities and learning why lost cultures vanished are my reasons for existing. If you can help me in that, I'll let you live. | ^black-dragon-personality-traits
