Green Dragon
King Uther came up with the structure of the dragons and it was based on the Roman Legions. Green Dragons are always knights and will always be on horseback. Foot soldiers follow on foot. horse soldiers or Cavalry will be on horses. A Green dragon will always have his squire and any retinue he sees fit to be with him. In some cases, the green dragon maybe in charge of fangs or feathers. These are units that are 10 soldiers strong. They also can take units the size of Scale, which is 1000 men. This depends on his skill in battle. The Green dragons are the backbone of the Order of the Dragon.
The Green Dragon was the commander of a Claw, which was the smallest unit of the Dragon army. A Dragon Army was nominally composed of 6,000 - 10,000 soldiers, and each Army was divided up into 10 Scales these are commanded by Blue dragons or Red Dragons, with each cohort containing 6 -10 claws.
The Green Dragon a claw, thus nominally commanded about 100 men, and there were 60 -100 Green Dragons in a Dragon Army.
