Here in Alidor they are at the top of the food chain. Slaying a dragon is sort of an act of defiance to the beasts that once had enslaved a large portion of the world. In truth, It is her offspring that go off and terrorize everyone else. Once PCs figure out that Surma is the source of all dragons they almost instinctively set into motion quests to seek her out and destroy her. Most fail. One group did meet and talk the dragon out of eating a town once. They saw the dragon was not "evil" they felt bad about wanting to kill her and chose diplomacy over swords. @Sean, The players always set lofty goals and slaying dragons is about as lofty as it gets.

Why are people trying to kill her? Just because she is a dragon? As gods go Surma seems fairly benevolent. Why are people trying to kill her? Just because she is a dragon?
