Well, Ryu finally laid his hand down on the table. For those who weren't there or weren't paying attention, here it is in a nutshell.
The dragons in Japan are dying out. They are being crowded out by humanity, especially modern humanity. And since tatsu (Japanese dragons) are born as carp, they've also been fished out or captured. Ryu's mate was killed in the bombing of Hiroshima.
So the Dragon King (Ryuujin) sent Ka-Riu out with the last clutch of dragon eggs to find them a new home. Tatsu need humanity, space, low-predator waters, and a food supply. Ka-Riu picked the Rogue Isles because the current leader has no interest in the isles themselves. His plan is to topple the current government, set up a new leader, and then help improve the isles, both to make them a good place to raise dragons as well as to make it a better place for humanity.
Yeah, it was a bit of a reach even as I was writing it, but I still like it as a backstory, plot-holes and all.
