Black dragons are not traditionally a non-social race, so they do appreciate offerings. Even my Wraiths are fond of receiving offerings. I happen to have a considerable number of Wraiths, who have come as friends of my friends. However, my recommendation is to spend more time with your Black Dragon to uncover the root of the miscommunication.

Dragons? Being entitled? Are you certain that we are discussing dragons and not humans? It seems that there may have been a misunderstanding.

Everyone appreciates offerings. It's possible that some Keepers who kept previous races didn't provide any, leading to it being deemed "not recommended." Meanwhile, other Keepers never bothered to inquire about what the beings might like in the first place and simply made assumptions.

I do make offerings to my Black Dragon, and there are many things that she likes. I have some DA Dragons that are as dark as her, even darker. I can confirm that what was said in the quote isn't true, and DA Dragons are not entitled at all. They get along just fine with my WA friends.

I'm sorry, but just because our experiences don't line up with your own doesn't necessarily make any of us 'incorrect' or 'misunderstanding'. Even CH's encyclopedia describes Black dragons as 'keeping to themselves and avoided by other types of dragons" and 'generally side with evil'. https://www.creepyhollows.com/faq/?acti ... artlang=en
None of us can put forth our own Unverified Personal Gnosis as absolute fact. I don't, I can only give input based on my experiences and compare/contrast against experiences of others I know to give a sort of generalized idea. And it's not a great look when you keep being condescending with your disagreements.

Just to add, I often have that scent in my room anyway because I love it so much, so he knows he can enjoy it any time.

Would you be kind enough to share the secret fragrance that your Black Dragon and you are fond of? Hehe.

Awe! This is absolutely adorable! I actually have quite a collection of bottles of essential oils myself, but unfortunately, I rarely get the chance to use them. They don't quite match my friends' preferences either. So, I guess it's about time I delve deeper into the world of essential oils. Your experience has truly inspired me, Adair. Hehe.
