Re: True

Couldn't it just have been geographical reasons? Weren't the Dragons mostly in the Withered Heath? (Except for a couple maurading ones) They could just be like the Ents in Fangorn Forest. Both 'races' are secluded to one spot with a few exceptions. And the Withered Heath is way, way North and in no way close to Mordor. Maybe Gandalf feared if Smaug did 'spread his wings too far' that he would forge an alliance with Sauron. And since Smaug was the last of the GREAT dragons, he could have had some control over the rest of them.

Just some thoughts... don't persecute me if you disagree <img src=frown.gif ALT="
