The Dragon Knights are the chosen champions of real Dragons and thus have been granted special powers and abilities. The most well known of these gifts are the power to transform at will into a Dragon themselves.

Background[]

Dragon knights have existed as long as mortal races have walked Rivellon, the first dragon knights are speculated to have been elves. Humans began being chosen to be dragon knights early in their recorded history, and at least one lizard dragon knight, Slane is known to have existed.[1] In recent history humans dominated the ranks of the dragon knights so profoundly that, as of some time in the mid-late 1200s, it was believed by historians that all known dragon knights in the last 400 years were solely of human descent.[2]

The most well known dragon knight was Maxos who was the first to be given the ability to transform humans blessed with the spirit of a dragon into dragon knights. As time passed, real dragons started to be seen less and less and in the end disappeared completely, leading people to believe dragon knights were real dragons.[3] Before the Great War dragon knights had always been leaders and lords of their own land or area; like Lord Lovis in Valley of Shrines (before Ba'al attacked with his demons and renamed it Broken Valley) and Lord Orobas in Orobas Fjords, they have however always been rare, as well never being more than a few dragon knights at a time.[citation needed] Aside from being blessed by Maxos, the dragon knights were also an offspring of one of the seven races and a Dragon, born with non dragon body, but with blood and a soul of a dragon and with an ability to transform into a dragon at will. [4]

During the war with the Black Ring, a dragon knight stabbed Lucian the Divine in the back; leading to his supposed death and ascension. This lead a group of knights seeking revenge to form the Dragon Slayers, dedicated to wiping dragons and their knights from the land.[5]

Today, almost all dragon knights are gone because of the Slayers and their persistence to wipe all dragons from the face of Rivellon. According to Arben, Talana was but the last dragon knight surviving in Rivellon. Though she met her untimely end upon Rhode, she was able to impart her power upon an unwitting dragon slayer initiate; thus preserving and maintaining the ancient bloodline.

Physiology[]

Dragon Knights are, on average, physically superior to their mortal counterparts. They are capable of leaping far into the air with an almost feline grace, and can survive falls that would invariably kill most mortals.

The most notable aspect of Dragon Knight physiology is their ability to shapeshift into their Dragon Form, with all the benefits and drawbacks such a form brings. When Dragon Knights die, they automatically shift into Dragon Form.
