All Dragaerans in the Empire are nobility, except Teckla and the rare outcast, such as Leareth. One way to look for evidence, though it wouldn't be proof either way: How many Dragons do we hear of by name? How many of them are identified by line? #Kragar, being outcast, may be denied the right or choose not to use his. That's certainly possible. -- Mark A.
