An Idea

The Dragon King's most elite soldiers are the Princess Guard, hand-picked from lives of luxury and trained to become the world's powerful fighting force.

Bleh. Long post was looong: this is more manageable.

What if the people invited the newcomers to participate in their customs rituals? When the players ask why, the response is along the lines of: "Well, if a Princess of the Guard slays a dragon, then they grow so beautiful that their love cannot help but notice. Sarah, I know you have your eye on Keenan..."

(They don't bother to mention that the given meaning of "beautiful" is "You have a magical aura of confidence" until Sarah complains that she's still fairly plain. Cue Keenan stage right to go "...whoa. Hot chick.")

What do you think of this tack?
