Description
The Drakeriders of Courvas are elite, specalized knights of Courvas' greater military force led by Thraas, their Captain. Each and every Drakerider is bonded to a Courvian Flamedrake through vita and blood, and their connection is said to be inseparable, the Drakeriders and Flamedrakes themselves operating like kin. Together, the Flamedrakes and Drakeriders serve as one of the main forces watching over and defending the kingdom of Courvas, providing aerial assault from above and raining fire down upon those that would try to besiege the kingdoms' walls.
