Dragon Slayers
If you manage to defeat a dragon...
The infamous Dragon Slayers have failed humanity in unspeakable ways. They were the ones who started the Great War on Human and Dragonkind, and are responsible for driving dragons to near extinction due to their greed
Originally called the Dragon Trackers, the Dragon Slayers have long since left behind their rather humble beginnings.
In fact, they were once greatly respected for the tasks they carried on, for dragons are rather elusive creatures, so tracking one down and proving that one did so was a great feat. For this, they helped develop the Flight Technology which at the time was far less impressive than nowadays
But the ways of proving it slowly began to become much, much more aggressive, but maybe they should've realized sooner. At first it was taking one of the dragon's scales - which was easy because some were always ready to fall off anyway -, but then they went on to take their claws, horns, spikes...

Very nice article! Is sad -and interesting- to read how they did fall from grace. Is crazy to see how thirst for money and fear to the unknown (which causes blaming others for disasters without proofs) can turn people with a respectable or at least, not harmful job into the darkest monsters. Also, the confronted opinions about forgiving or not their descendants is a pretty realistic aspect, it shows that your world and its people is very dynamic. Good job!
