dragonlord

English

Etymology

dragon +‎ lord

Noun

dragonlord (plural dragonlords)

  1. (fantasy) One who has power over dragons.
    • 1970, Ursula K. Le Guin, The Tombs of Atuan:
      "One whom the dragons will speak with," he said, "that is a dragonlord, or at least that is the center of the matter. It's not a trick of mastering the dragons, as most people think. Dragons have no masters. The question is always the same, with a dragon: will he talk to you or will he eat you? If you can count upon his doing the former, and not doing the latter, why then you're a dragonlord."
