Some had previously served in the [[Aerial Corps]] but were now retired or otherwise unable or unwilling to fight. Others were feral dragons, lured to the breeding grounds by the promise of regular meals. Cattle were collected from throughout Wales and brought to the breeding grounds to be presented to the dragons at feeding time once a day. The bell signaling feeding time was rung at a different time each day, so that a dragon who tried to leave the breeding grounds for any reason risked missing that day's meal. A dragon who hunted outside the breeding grounds was accused of poaching. |
Aside from being fed and having access to fresh water, the dragons at the breeding grounds were left to their own devices. They were left to find their own sleeping spots in caves or clearings. Dragons who were thought to be possibly ill or injured were checked up on by the staff surgeon. | Aside from being fed and having access to fresh water, the dragons at the breeding grounds were left to their own devices.
