[@Framing A Moose] usually, drakken go to the gems cities/hometowns/villages and the gems are told they are pretty and torn from their families the rest of their lives. Some might have slight variations on it.

Wouldn't it be more likely that it's the Gems who do that themselves? I imagine Drakken barging into town to take people personally would not be good for public order, it would be smoother and more 'legitimate' for the Gemminite Nobles to appoint people to do it.
