Purple dragons are the greatest explorers among dragonkind. They are also born hunters, andmake up for the relative weakness by being master manipulators. They love to explore the reaches of th Darklands, sarching for cavarens and mysteries never seen by sentient eyes. In fact, purple dragons are only rarely seen above ground. They love company and are particularly fond of drow. They often learn spells or seek magical items that allow them to walk among drow unnoticed, and more than one drow noble house has purple dagon blood in their family tree.
