Dragons, Dragons Everywhere (Xorvintaal)

[atemu1234]

I've got a group of players who are doing a campaign set in a homebrewed campaign setting. Most dragons here are not normal, but Xorvintaal dragons. This makes for an interesting campaign, but I was wondering how to make it so they aren't dealing with over-level enemies? Any good things for CR 1-10 that would make sense with Xorvintaal that aren't wyrmling dragons (I have a thing about infanticide)?

Minions — non dragon ones that is. They already get one, just add in more. Kobolds are a good choice, Half-Dragons too maybe ? Or anything at all, maybe the elves all work for the Dragons, or the Gnomes, whatever.

Keep the big players in the background, and have them move their small pieces around. Bonus points if you don't reveal what's going on until some way through the game — the players will think it's a conspiracy or the Mafia or something.
