Drakeblood Knight

Worshippers of the blood of dragons, Drakeblood Knights dedicate themselves to the study and utilisation of draconic powers; they spend their early life learning to harness the power of one of the types of dragon. Expert warriors, they specialise in dispatching their enemies quickly and efficiently, by sword or by Drakeblood Magic. The red cloth wrapped around their black armor represents the sacred blood of dragons. The insignia chiseled upon their sword hilt symbolizes dragon's blood. To the Drakeblood Knights, fresh dragon blood is sacrosanct. They believe that by obtaining it, they can achieve a true understanding of life, transcending their own banal existence.
