Dragaeran crossbreeds are the product of a birth where the father and mother are from different Dragaeran Houses. Marriage between houses is currently forbidden both by law and custom, but relationships do occur. Although most of the novels indicate that crossbreed or halfbreeds are despised by other Dragaerans, references to a change in attitude is apparent in the most recent books. (This has been attributed in part to the breakdown in the normal social structure of Dragaeran society that occurred during the Interregnum). See also Speculation:Crossbreeds.
