Dragon Order

The existence of Dragon Slayers is no longer just a myth, whether the rise of their kin was an event set into motion by the dragons that taught them their ways remains open for debate, but one fact remains: Ever since the great conflict among the Ancient Dragons their kin has steadily disappeared from the surface of the planet. However, rare occurrences happen where for good or worse a dragon does appear.

When it is for worse, people often fall back on those possessing the unusual abilities of a Dragon Slayer to deal with such dangerous threats. But like with all things there needs to be some form of order, some semblance of an organization to call upon.

Still, mortals are frequently prone to lack the desire to contribute to a cause unless they have some form of merit to gain from it, and it is for that reason a particular ancient dragon offered a price: Join this order and we will bestow onto thee power untold, prove thyself worthy of leading said order and I will bestow my own essence onto you... O Dragon Knight.

Regulations



"Peace is a lie, there is only passion

Through the pursuit of your passion, your conflicts will grant you strength,

By obtaining the strength to dominate your foes you will reach for the summit: Where the throne of the emperor awaits..."

The Dragon Order is situated in Pergrande.

The perks and items obtained through the Dragon Order only last as long as one remains a part of the faction. Leaving the order will require one to kill their dragon and reclaim their heart from it.

As a member of the Dragon Order only Bad quests and Neutral Quests are available.

Building



Situated on the outskirts of the Voda River a mighty keep stands proudly guard over the domain of the order. Overlooking most of Pergrade atop one of its mountains, the keep has functioned as the headquarters of the Dragon Order since its creation. From traditional dormitories for lower ranked members, to stylish offices for the higher-ranks to receive guests in, of particular notice is the converted throne room which serves as both an audience room for the leader of the order, and a place of worship for the dragon the people of Pergrande came to rever as their guardian deity.

The Dragon Knight

The current leader of the Order and the first known Dragon Knight in Pergrande's history, Ryuko quickly established herself as an easygoing and cheerful individual with a knack for socializing and getting herself into trouble. Despite the fact people often describe her as a battle-hungry woman, the fact she has gained the backing and respect of the dragons speaks plenty for her skills.

Despite the fact most Dragon Slayers tend to learn their magic either directly from dragons or more commonly from having a Lacrima implanted into their being, Ryuko is considered a special case in this regard. As her appearance reveals she has dragon-like features that betray she has started to evolve beyond the typical nature of a Dragon Slayer, and she might be willing to bestow her secrets to the rest of the order...

The Dragon Born



The Dragonborn are a select group within the order who have received the blessings of the dragons. Unlike the typical Dragoons that make up the majority of the order, the Dragonborn are an elite group that have far greater freedom in their activities.. Dragonborn their abilities are closer to that of actual Dragons, for instead of being bestowed a Lacrima they are given the rite of replacing their heart with that of a dragon, which empowers their magic, but also leaves them at risk of becoming the very beings that once granted them their might.
