Why did you decide to go with dragons instead of some other creature like Demons or maybe Chamura when creating the Dragon Lords?

Dragons because they're pretty obvious symbols of power.  Anyone who can boss around a dragon must be a tough customer, right?  As for demons, I didn't want that link because of what I was doing in later books, with the demons as a separate power.  As for Chamura, I assume you're not talking about the tight end for the Packers, so let me say that among US readers (my primary audience) very few of them are familiar with Hindu lore, the folk tales of Andhra Pradesh, or the writings of Sri Sri.  Same reason _Faeire Tale_ was about Irish myth, not Hopi Kachinas.

Best, R.E.F.
