The Order of Valor

Some blame Filavandrel for the order coming into existence as his use of the Water dragon showed the world that the Dragons are a threat

The order of Valor is a order of those dedicated to the hunting and killing of dragons. They believe that the world is at and imbalance with them in it and no one is safe with them alive. In its beginning it was made of those who's lives had been changed or damaged due to dragons. At its start it was a small order started by Circi of Greenhaven. Long after her death however it still reigns. It got the legal approval of King Titus l under the condition the pledge themselves to the light god and kill dragons in its name. After his death the order has remained as King Titus ll has allowed the decree to stay and given them a small keep within Xares. "The army grew closer to the initiates's line. The soldiers were heavily armored, plated steel covered them. The initiates ran in, spears and bows in hand. They battered themselves against the soldiers but they were no match. Eridn readied his bow but it was too late, A mace had found itself in his leg. As Eridn fell to the hard ground he saw the mace coming back for his head. As the soldiers mace jellified Erdin's skull a dragon's roar boomed through the night's air. Dogoss. Garndal, Jrag, Mydrill and Lithiss flew into the fray with their Riders. Garndal tucked in its huge brown scaly wings and dived into the soldiers! A dozen men flew into the air! Dogoss flew over head, encasing the soldiers in fury of white fire! Jrag and Lithiss arched back in the air and unleashed a thousand blizzards unto the soldiers. Mydrill flooded the field drowning the soldiers. The soldiers were fierce but they stood no chance against the dragon's might. Then, then the first ballista was fired. The ballistas stationed behind the soldiers began to fire. They fired no regular bolts, these bolts carried chains behind them. Garndal and its rider were getting back into the air when the first bolt hit it. The bolt itself caved in when it hit the dragon but its chain wrapped around Garndal. Letters painted onto the chain began to glow a faint green. Garndal hissed out in pain and the dragon fell back the the ground, crushing its Rider. A solider plunged a spear and Garndal and it sunk its way into the dragon's heart. Garndal grew limp, letting out a faint whimper and slumped to the ground. The first dragon since Kthos the Giant had died."
