I'm not sure what sort of link you have in mind -- that they're the
offspring of watery dream dragons, or something along those lines?
Not quite sure where you're going with this one...
I agree with you that a Firey connection is not inevitable for Dragons
generically -- look at the Thrunhin Da, most obviously. What he dreams
of, no-one is currently saying, mind you...
