I had no idea why the Dragon of Detroit cared about cockatrices, but if they were protected under his Edict, that made selling their eggs problematic. The Peacemaker couldn’t actually make laws since he only controlled the dragon population of the city, but he had a lot of monsters working for him and the goodwill of the DFZ herself. If he said “don’t do that,” it was very much in your best interest to listen.
