Dragon Scouts are explorers, trackers, and outriders who patrol the frontiers where dragons dwell. Whether serving a kingdom, a dragon, or simply following their own curiosity, they learn to recognize draconic signs, navigate dangerous wilderness, and survive encounters with creatures few dare pursue. Many Dragon Scouts eventually form lifelong bonds with dragons or drakes, becoming trusted guardians of ancient territories and forgotten ruins.
