Editing Dragon Wing Races (section)

==[[Dragon Wing Races]]==
Four levels of dragon races are held each year. Competition is a big part of public dragon life. The four levels are '''Local''', '''Provincial''', '''Regional''', and the''' Pageant Race'''.

Championships in speed and acrobatics involving all Members of the [[Council of the Wing-Ang Ri]] are held once a year in the main arena.  Since an element of involuntary participation is involved in Regional races and the Pageant Race wise dragons train all year.
==='''Exercise and Feeding'''===
Another element of training is that they need exercise and to eat. Most dragons need a sheep a week at least for substenincce. One every third day is better. Most like one a day or more.  Most dragons support Shepards and farmers who stake out their meals.  Some hire hunters to stalk game then mark them with spells for them to get exercise hunting them.

Many strategies have been used. Hunting free range livestock in the past nearly got them hunted to extinction.    So did hunting each other.  Demanding virgin girl sacrifices seemed to attract terribly efficient dragonslayers.

So the Dragon Races developed.
