That does not change what I said.

The Dragon is governed by the Artificer, a Divine whose purpose has re-carved the bones of your city. You can very well say that those that come beneath Him are chosen by merit, but that is a mortal construct. Until you surpass Him, there is no perceived appointment by merit , only mere Divine agenda.

You should speak to Bloodloch a little more about ascendancy while you're at it, Grand Swift Horse. Last I heard, it seems Abhorash has grasped unto Divinity through His own strength and ascended, which speaks a lot more about what ideals prove to be more effective, mm?
