Basically Dragons are like primals, minus the whole 'eating aether' bit. Their touch, their words, anything about the can corrupt and warp the minds of mortals. That's why they make such a big deal about the drachenmail in the Dragoon quests, it has dragoon blood built into it, so it can corrupt those of weak will. Even the eye of a dead dragon (the eye of nidhogg) can break the will of the average mortal.
So it's less that people are convinced, but more that they fly into a place like stone vigil, kill the majority of people, and corrupt anyone who survived.
