I’m beginning to feel the dragon is at least straighforward about its evil, these people all clothe theirs in righteousness but are far more cruel. Is the dragon evil, i.e. is magical power the absolute power that absolutely corrupts? The terrans are resisting it a little?
To quote C.S. Lewis:
Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
I tell you: If two or three are together, there wil be *a* law. Choose wisely.

Do this and the burden will be light.
