The more recent the ancestor, the greater the likelihood; occasionally inheriting the abilities of an ancient dragon was all the more fortunate—and powerful.
Among dragonkind, this was called an atavistic phenomenon, or the blessing of ancestral souls.
And since the era when Sylvie had risen to prominence in the Prime Material Plane was less than two hundred years before his birth, it was hardly strange for others to make such an association.
