Deep underground, beneath the world of elves, humans, and other magical creatures, there was another world. The world of the draconids, hidden from the eyes of mortals. The draconids lived by their own laws, ancient as the world itself. They did not recognize the laws of the upper world, for the draconids were almost immortal, and what did they care about the rules of mortals? However, the draconids did have a connection with the mortal races, a connection of master and beast. After all, ordinary animals can't survive in the dragon world, so they had to raise intelligent races like livestock, ride them, milk them, and eat their meat. This is the price of survival away from the dangers of the mortal world.
