** Although Prince Caederyn's nation of Nadara is customarily monogamous, the secrecy and taboo created by such a custom makes Nadaran culture very popular for InUniverse romance writers. As a result, there are apparently ''reams'' of romance literature showing all manner of extra-marital affairs and triads, and particularly showing Nadaran sovereigns forming triads with their chosen spouse and their Bonded dragon companions.
