Faes like to chill in other dragons' fur/feathers. Tundras and Gaolers are Fae hubs. If u are soft, u have Faes. No way around it. Sorry. -@

Faes make a purring type sound when happy and like being scratched behind their fins. -@

When Tundras shed their winter coat, they donate it to Faes and other slightly smaller dragons to use as some bedding for nests -@

Coatls and Skydancer donate shed feathers to scholars to use as quills

There's a well-known Ice spell that freezes an animal or other creature in a sphere of clear material, causing them to enter a deep sleep which keeps them from aging and requiring food and air. The spell can be broken by any dragon with even a small amount of magical ability, instantly evaporating the sphere and waking the creature. Familiars and most live food are sold in this form, since it allows them to be transported and stored. It also allows dragons to create much more exotic hoards.

Imperials being a ramp for little hatchlings trying to get to the top of a hill or tree so they can see a really far distance out into the world, or even just letting them pile on their head and hold onto their antlers and lift them up carefully so they can feel tall.

When Snappers are migrating, the stomp of their feet makes a rhythmic drumming sound across Dragonhome. Other dergs, especially Coatls, will hum and whistle and sing along, creating impromptu musicals that can be heard for miles. -@

The Tidelord secretly wants the Earthshaker to notice him. Just look at Guardian's beard. -@

the earthshaker has adventures with all the exalted dragons that come to him and becomes their dad. -@

Made Me Laugh
Native lightning dragons talk really, really loudly, which started as talking over the constant thunder and turned into a habit. If there are nocturnes nearby (who will raise their voices in response) or wind dragons (who will gladly accept the challenge and try to outshout them) this can easily cause a chain reaction of unnecessarily loud conversation. -@

the Windsinger and Tidelord often have games of monopoly together and it never ends well, resulting in storms. -@

Logistical
Exalting is actually very complicated. There are two main options. In one scenario the dragon "dies" bodily, their magic and lifeforce fuse to their God. The dragon becomes part of the elemental powers that they had in life, in a way the magic is recycled so nothing is wasted. This is done with the very young, sick or elderly so instead of fighting in combat they can serve their God through this.
High leveled, healthy dragons serve through dominance fighting or servitude , as per what the Dominance page describes. Once dead the dragon's soul/magic is recycled as said before. Very rarely will they be reincarnated (exalted dragon by mistake, ask staff to give back etc)
While exalting is a high honor, dragons do know what will happen in the end of it. As such Gods will give that clan rewards (the exalt achievements, dominance bonuses/rewards, treasure/gems) -@
