I also vote yes for John Red Beard!
My fursona is based on Norse frost dragons. They usually live at the bottom of lakes and in the sea. Often in caves. They sleep for several years at a time but supposedly could use magic to control the water and weather, and could shapeshift into other creatures, but always with something off. Like a dog but with a dragons tail, or a human with dragons ears. If you could find one and could provide it entertainment with a conversation or debate, they would grant you knowledge or some artifact[size=0px]. [/size]
[size=0px]I guess in that vein, my fursona would live during AD 800, as a shaman for a Norse tribe which would probably contain mostly dragon and dragon kin, bears, wolves, and deer. I imagine it would be a community based on farming and metalurgy also, as the tribe would want to live in a fertile valley near mountains where the best ore, nutrient rich soil, and xleanest water would often be.
