April 10th: The bill has been vetoed!
April 2nd: The politicians in Arizona are about to sign into law a bill that would mandate sites like e621 to either impose age verification on all users or be at a risk of lawsuits. Such system would be required to go through third party vendors, who in turn must go through a government database to verify every user's age. This is not only a major violation of privacy, but it also opens up a very real danger of identity theft through phishing schemes and other methods, not to mention that we would not be able to control any of that information to make sure it is permanently deleted after age verification is complete.
Unfortunately, Arizona is the state out of which e621 operates, which means that this law will almost certainly affect us if it is to pass. If want to help us ensure that this site can continue to serve you without being required to know who you are, please ask the Arizona governor to veto this bill.
Please, help us get the word out by letting others know about this issue.
For some further information on what the bill does have a look at https://action.freespeechcoalition.com/bill/arizona-hb-2586/
We still have a Discord server, come talk to us!

MemberSo did this rule just come about because like... the riders end up only fucking their dragons after experiencing it, and the dragons only their rider
Causing a lack of breeding and such?
Or perhaps, they did breed, and it created some sort of hellspawn / non-functioning creature?

PrivilegedWell, you're literally reading the backstory to said rule. Looking at what has happened to the previous two riders, I really hope Jenna and Lorath get a better, happier ending.
As to your theory on origin of the rule, I highly doubt that it was caused due to the lack of breeding, considering on page 9 of Dragon Rider it is said that tamed dragons mate with wild dragons to ensure genetic variety and the entire story of Caught in the Act kinda implying that they will still do it with other dragons anyways.

MemberI'm aware I'm reading it, I'm simply pondering the answer :O
Resolute
MemberThankfully, this didn't go the way I was fearing... but, given it's one of their three rules, I can't help but wonder if/how things will go wrong :/
They're a cute couple though!

MemberI think she meets someone else and then it turns bad.

MemberPatreon readers, how worried should we be?

MemberYuuuss! I’ve been waiting for this awesome comic all Day! It’s SO WORTH the Weekly wait! <3

MemberYeah, jealous dragon rips the shit out of some other rider seems more likely than most of the other possibilities that've been floated.

MemberMy sub ended this month, and I only got to see the last sex scene page I think (got at least 4 more pages of the steamy stuff).
Nothing was hinted yet, but methinks dragon/rider relationships are banned because others may get jealous.

Memberonce he gets all the way in.. she aint going to walk rite for a while

MemberI still got my money on negligence of Duty
kiele
Memberthat sounds reasonable too, seeing the commandments wording
Vulumar
MemberTo not spoil too much, neglance of duty. It's still to be revealed how it would end up but we got a hint yesterday.

Member...And this is how the book is written, verbatim?
Those wardens lowkey hella kinky.
Bjorn13
MemberIts all fun and games until... something happens i guess.
Holy Crusader
MemberMan, these people in the comments are really impatient for that plot background
Bl1nd Eye
MemberThey got busted and were banished. I don't know for certain, but I doubt that this would end in death. That seems a bit extreme for her riding her dragon the "wrong" way.
NegaMajora
MemberI don't see the reason for this to be a commandment, if it has a happy ending.
GoldenGlow
MemberYo, what's the ruling on your steed lusting after you?
Zanazoth
MemberWell it looks like one of my guesses was right, it halted breeding lol
TheGreatWolfgang
PrivilegedOne dragon somehow single-handedly halted the genetic viability of an entire generation of the dragon population.
A bit far-fetched, but it is what it is. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
