MODERATORS
To provide some context: Corfu received strong British influence in the past and was under the crowns reign for a few decades. It has remained a frequented destination for upper-class British tourism into the early 20th century as I have heard.
Good on them abandoning the dreadful culinary influence of the Brits. A culture so captivated by spices, but one that never thought to get high on their own supply. No no, just keep boiling things
Brits are to spices like dragons are to gold: they only hoard with no way to use it themselves.
At least in D&D the good and evil dragons do have a use for it.
The evil dragons eat it just before they die. If they don't show up with enough gold in hell, then Tiamat/Takhisis eats their souls.
The good dragons use it to fund various parts of their chosen civilization/ city/ town. So a gold dragon may create a perpetual trust to fund the defence force of a kingdom, or a silver dragon may fund a museum or theater.
I haven't come across any material that says what the neutral dragons use it for, other than a bed. Apparently when you're that big, gold is quite soft and comfy.
We're in the 21st century.
