    From the dragonspeak lore post
    "Speaking of sentence subjects, whereas English employs several types of pronouns, dragonspeak has only the following three:

    1st person = a[n] (covers: we and I)
    2nd & 3rd person = i[n] (covers you, he, she, they)
    3rd person inanimate = a[h] (covers it, that, this, those)"

    And
    "Possessive pronouns are no different from the pronouns listed above:

    My/Our vengeance - a[n] sja[h]s
    Your/His/Her/Their vengeance - i[n] sja[h]s
    Its vengeance - a[h] sja[h]s"

    Which show that dragons refer to themselves as "I/We/Our" and not by their names.

    It is also unlikely for a dragon, or one raised by dragons, to be considered feral, given the high intellect of the dragons.



    More on topic- I am really looking forward to this interior change.
    NOPES! Is nots what Mao Momma taught Mao. Mao Momma always called Mao, Mao (is slightly differents in Dragon speakings). Also, Mao Momma and Family lived in cave and eats meats whats Mao Momma and Mao Big Brother catches. Can be smarts and feral at same time. When Mao livings with Mao Momma, Mao would has to fights with the younger hatchlings for meats. Mao would usually lose buts then Mao big Brother would share meats with Mao.

    It's nice to see when a game has a good lore, and when players contribute to it by getting into character.

    It's not everything of course, but it does help with immersion. I used to play Everquest II and remember being turned off when they added orc rodeos.
