description: 'Blue dragons are the sleek and poised cosmopolitans of the chromatic
  dragons. Their brand of evil is organized, manipulative, and regal. Blue dragons
  often lair near or within cities and set out to bend the population to their will
  and gather hordes of servants. These dragons love spinning webs of conspiracy. A
  blue dragon''s lackeys typically don''t even realize that they serve a dragon, but
  instead think the protection money, tariffs, or taxes they are amassing is treasure
  for a cruel but legitimate master. In some ways, blue dragons even see their servants
  as a living hoard and value them like treasure. These dragons have been known to
  use these tactics even with their own chromatic cousins.




  Not all blue dragons work clandestinely. Some lord over desert tribes and hill people
  like vengeful gods, demanding both tribute and worship. No matter how blue dragons
  manage their underlings, their bearing is regal and their lairs palatial; they''re
  universally intolerant of insubordination, incompetence, and embezzlement, and punish
  perpetrators with murderous efficiency.




  Blue dragons are also known for their use and mastery of illusion magic. They make
  use of illusions to augment their manipulations and bewilder their foes in battle.
  Blue dragons also have some control over water, but use this ability to destroy
  water, something quite dangerous for those who encounter them in their desert lairs.




  The ideal lair for a blue dragon contains multiple passages, rooms, and secret chambers.
  As social creatures, blue dragons prefer to host guests in comfort—but their dwellings
  should not be so public that just anyone can come calling. A force of guards keeps
  out intruders, and clever illusions conceal the edifice from prying eyes. Rather
  than a pile of coins or gems, a blue dragon''s true hoard is the rich furnishings
  in its citadel— expensive art, ornate furniture, and architectural marvels.
