[Fantomen]

The green dragon has the following pros also:

N4+ is a good minor blessing for many nations, especially those with old mages.

High nature increases the regeneration you get from personal regeneration and items, so a high N high dom green dragon can get insane regeneration going, which in turn reduces afflictions immensely. At that point I think the green dragon is by far the toughest dragon to kill in friendly dominion.

If you take a secondary path for the green dragon you can take E4, which would give you a light thug bless (N4E4), and with earth power, personal regen scaled by the nature path and the protection bonus from earth it will be very hard to kill even without awe. The other dragons could do the same but not with the same synergy.

I also find nature to be a very useful path to have on a pretender, mainly because of the nice globals and GoR.
