Dragon Army

As seen in

Letter to the Council of Maelgoth

|

Siege of Wheelwatch Outpost

The Dragon Queen's armies have begun their invasion of the Kalaman region. Their motive is unclear.

Composition

Manpower

The Dragon Armies gather fanatical followers to their ranks. Recruits are indoctrinated to revere the Dragon Queen and view dragons as her favored servants. Troops in the Dragon Army wield weapons blessed by Tiamat to strike with the power of the dragons they fight alongside.

Weaponry

The weapons of Dragon Army troops are blessed with an infusion of dragon breath. The type of damage these weapons deal depends on the specific army.

Vehicles

Dragonnels from the volcanic mountains surrounding Sanction are closely related to red dragons, resembling them in scale coloration and general shape. They are cruel and selfish creatures trained by the Dragon Armies to serve as mounts for trusted officers. While they lack a red dragon’s destructive breath, these dragonnels are inured to fire, and their vicious teeth and claws flare with embers.

Dragonnels are distantly related to chromatic and metallic dragons and resemble them in basic form. Intelligent enough to understand speech but incapable of speaking themselves, they are willful creatures largely motivated by the desire for food.
