I agree with this.

Wyrms/dragons are special creatures on Celandra. Hmm... not even the Mir 
mages have
realized this, but the dragons are actually the only "true" offspring of 
the world
of Celandra. Unlike almost everything else, a full-grown dragon carries the
full weight of its Authority itself. Except for Celandra itself, nobody 
has Authority
over a dragon. To an Eerith's eye, a dragon is a closed circuit to which
the Eerith cannot have a direct connection to.

Now you may ask, how come the Mir used to have dragons as mounts? Well,
first of all, it takes a lot of time for a dragon to grow to full power. 
Secondly,
it is not entirely certain who was using who, and for what purpose.
