Comic for January 28, 2018: Dragon Hierarchy

#1 Post by Rafe »

Well, looks like Reni is a very impressive friend to have if Red is awed by her.
(Although Sythe is apparently not.)

We already knew that Nora, at least as an elder dragon, was respected by Reni (after Nora spoke to her when she was checking out Trace's memories), but given Reni's reaction, Nora might be a very high status dragon indeed.

There are hierarchies, and then there is actual status. Reni may be a princess, but she's still (comparatively speaking) just a toddler, too young to play with the sharp shiny toys.

And next week we learn that dragons have a completely inverted hierarchic system. Indeed the only dragons less respected among themselves than princesses are those entitled King or Queen! :mrgrin:

I get the impression that Nora takes orders from no-one.
With every mistake, we must surely be learning.

I'm so excited to learn about the dragon hierarchy! Plus I have a gut felling that Lady Nora only takes orders from Trace... When she feels like it...

What's that purple thing Karen is alarmingly looking at on the left side of panel 2?

That's one of Reni's wings.
Looks like Karen has her arms over Reni, checking her out. She's probably hoping she can keep Reni as a pet.

I know it's non-canon and all, but I think we've got confirmation of relative status in one of Tom's patreon images. The one where Reni is trying to chew Nora out for changing Trace into a dragon... but respectfully.


I kinda suspect the "Royal" thing is a human designation, not a dragon one. Like the Royal House, the Royal Lands, the Royal Horse...

I was wondering what was different about this page, then I noticed: the sound effect font is different.

Okay okay okay okay.
Serious theory.

At some points in history and in a lot of fiction, there are advisors and elders that while they are not OFFICIALLY above the royals, but are treated like it

So heres what we know about Nora.

>immensely powerful
>old(but not elderly)
>almost precognitic


My theory:

Nora is like a high-elder ttpe figure



Other, less serious theory, Nora is Renis mom

So Trace and Nora were together since Red met him? Wonder why such a high status dragon like Nora would take an interest in Trace, a relative nobody until he rose to power. Maybe she just thought he was cute and decided to keep him?

Reni is such a dorkasaurus :heart:

Can't wait to see a Reni-Nora meet up, if that obvious foreshadowing is anything to go by.

I agree. I don't think dragons themselves have a monarchy; rather Reni is considered a "princess" as some sort of title in the *human* monarchy. But within the dragon world, compared to Nora, she's a nobody xD.

We see here that Trace and Nora were close before Trace even met Saria.
In fact, Nora says here:
Nora wrote:But even then, as I watched you arrive for the first time, I knew you were not like the others.
When you reached adulthood at 16, you became a full-fledged Templar. By then, we spoke regularly.
So when Nora first saw Trace as a child joining the Templar, she saw something special in him, and decided to befriend him.
