Good to remember also that many millions of people descend from these bloodlines. Descent and genealogy do not make descendants crooks or associates. It is still a choice for these family members. The evil is in the deeds and to some extent in the damaged psychological integrity of some of these family units. For a modern primer on this kind of family structure watch Succession.

This is very good and a necessary deep history. Wonder how many understand how true this is? Origins of a psychopathic society begin with denial. The men who imagine these dragon societies are the very ones who fear and deny the power of life itself. They become the very personification of Mephistopheles by lying to themselves and everyone else. Bloodlines are not the problem it is the codification of the mental instability in the family and society. Sins of the fathers and all that. The dragons are indeed there - just not as advertised. Maybe we are fortunate to be living in a time of final paroxysmal evidence of this. Mythic? Yes. Fiction? No.
