Fantasy dragon-rider lineage

A dragon-rider lineage is a family tree used for worldbuilding rather than genealogy research. It shows which characters belong to a house and how a legacy passes through generations. Start with the founding pair, then draw adult children as sibling branches. Add partners and descendants only where they matter to the story. The tree can sit beside character notes that explain dragon bonds, titles, or rival claims. Keeping the visual focused on relationships makes it easier to spot missing connections and avoid contradictions when a new character is introduced. This format suits fantasy novels, tabletop campaigns, and game lore. Update the branches whenever a new heir or rider enters the story.
