If you're going for the crime lord thing as well, you could make the dragon a runt or disfigured in some way that could explain why it wasn't off doing more dragons stuff. Still dangerous to the heroes and and mean enough to control their crime empire, but, like, Smaug didn't have thugs roughing up local shop owners, ya know?
I really dig dragons as long standing antagonists rather than a gold piñata.
**edit**
You did mention controlling an empire, so the crime lord thing is out (I still think that's a near concept).
On its face the Sovereign may seem more likely to be in to ruling an empire, as they are more keen to meddle in the little peoples' affairs. But it could be interesting to have a dragon that plays against type. They acted in a way not typical for their kind and that's why they were able to take over.
Conversely, the run I did with a different group through Age of Worms (converted to P1e) resulted in 8 deaths and we didn't even finish the campaign. The P1e homebrew I'm in right now is proving just as lethal, though we do only have 3 players.
I'll be fine, just give me a minute, a man's got a limit, I can't get a life if my heart's not in it.
Damaged wings would be good, or they messed around with the wrong magical artifact and suffered some kind of wasting curse. Maybe nobody knows! Or they've cultivated their reputation some other way.
Jabba certainly wasn't a physical threat on his own, but he maintained his empire with the threat of feeding you, your family, your dentist, and your speeder insurance salesman to his pet rancor.
There was a cool one in the first episode of the record of lodoss war OVA but I can't find any good clips of that scene.
Eehhh. See? Now about this job. That’s right! Ehh! You some kinda wise guy? Wise guy huh? See! You talking to me? You talking me? Now see here ya bum! Nyah! Stupid flatfoots. Wise guy? Wise guy! You got a wire on ya? A wire! Who’s got a wire? Eh? Who you talking to? I SAID ABOUT THIS JOB.
I kept up with Nightvale all the way up to the episode where… I forgot her name, but the goddess of the town did a big monologue. I should see what they’re up to now.
Agendas of interest.
Basically, what are the various plots and events currently happening. This is what turns it from a setting into a mini-world the players are being dropped into.
"Mysteries" is another fun heading, especially since it can be a bit more openly presented to the players, while the Agendas of Interest is largely on the GM side of things. There's rumors and public knowledge of past events and happenings... but a lot of the background is still going to be on the GM to build. Mysteries can be fun to springboard off what the players think up.
Which isn't bad, nor is it something that's unique to PF2, just something I noticed.
I bought it. Even if I never end up touching the system, the full package with the pawns and maps will probably be useful down the road.
ALSO ALSO, it's worth pointing out that if you grab any level of the bundle, it gives you a key to Paizo's website that expires at the beginning of August. So if you do go in on it, make sure you go and redeem all the stuff over at Paizo's place.
Also, it seems like Paizo's web login is fucked in half right now. Grrr.
A solid go to for familiars when you don't have a good feel of what is needed for a caster is an extra focus point recovery ability. Once per day you can have the familar refresh a focus point for you so you can have even more goodberries or whatever focus spells you have. They have options like that for alchemists where they can cough up an extra alchemist reagent once per day.
I discovered it wasn't playing nice with Chrome on my desktop, so I switched to Firefox and it magically worked. IDFK.
Glad I'm not isolated in my disgust for howeverthefuck that site's coded.
My roleplay was abit awkward but I had fun. Everybody was super easy going and the GM was cool with questions. Even if things go awry in the weeks or coming months, tonight, I feel like I really lucked out with this group.
The voice for my character (as in literally the sound of his voice) is going to be hard to nail down. Half of my brain is saying typical goblin voice, the other half wants him to try and fail to sound more distinguished and its kind of a weird mix between the two right now.
While there's nothing wrong with an educated goblin actually being distinguished, I feel like a more self-taught goblin putting on airs after reading a book about some royal alchemist somewhere is a good schtick. Like they get the vocabulary, but are still a bit lowbrow. "Goode Lady, honor me with the location of thine shinies, or I moten explodeth thine face."
So just don't feel like you have to put on a voice, the character of a character can definitely come through in the content of their speech without sounding any different from your normal speaking voice.

Not believable. His armor would have changed more from session 1 to session 40.
Also, he added a cape and bracers! Clearly, they add at least a +7 magical bonus to his defenses.
I wear the armor...under my clothes maybe?
Now doing it with Fantasy Grounds is ehhh...I think I kind of hate this?
Foundry's PF2E great functionality spoiled me.
