Drakenrider

Legend tells about the fierce Drakenriders, warriors choosen by the draconic gods to wield the unique power a dragon has, some seek the ritual to achieve terrible things while other seek it to save their homelands but in truth all that a Drakenrider has is power. Ancient orders of those warriors existed all across Faerun in ancient and long forgotten times, elder dragons held the secret of the binding ritual and protected it knowledge with their lives if needed; few were considererd worthy and even fewer survived the ordeal. The Knight of the Black Wing was on of such organizations, gathered under the elder black dragon Vayriath, the Nocturnal, these knight corroded the land with their dragon's acid breath and conquered the land in the name of Tiamat. Only when Vayriath was slain and the magic binding rider and dragon became undone the land had some solace and was allowed to recover. 

Many kingdoms atempted to establish deals with metalic dragons in order to have a lasting fighting force agains the followers of the dragon queen, however most of the elder dragons were hesitant in bestowing such gift upon the greedy and selfish hands of mortals. In time, the elder dragons were either slain or consumed by time and the knowledge of the ritual was lost and the rider became a mere legend. However when the cult of the Dragon resurfaced, many artifacts from ancient times were sought after and while the cult foolishly searched for the dragon masks, the stone tablets with the secrets to the binding ritual were uncovered and now both cromatic and metalic dragons seek brave heroes willing to share their souls to once again bring life to the Drakenriders legend.

Drake Wyrmling

You form an everlasting bond with a draconic entity, and it grants you a wyrmling companion, you can choose the wyrmling type (either chromatic or metallic) and color. The drake is friendly to you and your companions and obeys your commands almost to the letter, however it can be distracted by small animals or treasures. See its game statistics in the Drake Companion stat block, which uses your proficiency bonus (PB) in several places.

In combat, the drake shares your initiative count, but it takes its turn immediately after yours. It can move and use its reaction on its own, but the only action it takes on its turn is the Dodge action, unless you take a bonus action on your turn to command it to take another action. That action can be one in its stat block or some other action. If you are incapacitated, the drake can take any action of its choice, not just Dodge.
