A BEASTIARY OF DRAGONS

LEGENDS OF LONG AGO

NASHIVA:

All WARRIORS are bound to the fiery temperment of NASHIVA, and together both dragon and dragoneer do battle with a frenzied fury.

WEROHK:

Like the battle-forged WARLORDS, WEROHK is an instrument of experience and time. Only those whose blood is both noble and battle-wise can bond with the mighty WEROHK.

GHOLEK:

What patience a dragon must have to take upon the new recruits of THE ORDER OF DRACOS. GHOLEK reserves its time for training the fledgling ranks of all INITIATES.

KANG-SHI:

The ancient KANG-SHI is bound to only those dragoneers who prove their worth through the test of arms and the rigors of clan politics ... THEPENDRAGON is the only one worthy of this wyrm.

MORGHUS:

Every SOLDIER must abide by the wishes of MORGHUS, and in return this fine fiend offers instruction beyond what the knowledgible GHOLEK can teach. Within MORGHUS lies the path to the battle frenzy of NASHIVA.

TAHKORA:

The timeless TAHKORA is bound to those dragoneers who choose to fight without rank or title.

Its great will forcing its presence to remain even after death ... a hallmark of the refusal to accept defeat.

AROKH:

After what may seem like a millenium of war campaigns, a GUARDIAN OF THE FLAME is borne. To greet this new hero is the legendary AROKH. Like its bound counterpart, the GUARDIAN is a hero that time will sing tales of and eternity will revere in awe. No other, save the PRAETORIAN OF DRACOS, may command the will of mighty AROKH.

PRAETORIANS OF DRACOS

If a dragoneer reaches PRAETORIAN status, he or she has proved his or her keen wit and prowess at arms over vast periods of time. Because of this, PRAETORIANS have the special ability of bonding with any dragon who they have commanded before (including WEROKH). This reflects the PRAETORIANS' understanding and experience of battle in conjunction with their overwhelming strength of will. You will find no greater opponent within THE BLOOD THAT BINDS than these timeless heroes.
