Dragoon

The ways of a Dragoon is typically taught to, and learned by the Thri-Kreen however that does not mean it is exclusive to said race. A Dragoon’s traditional purpose is to defend against attacks by flying enemies upon the castles they reside, or are employed in. This is typically done in the fashion of not ranged combat, but by melee combat in the sky by means of great jumping ability. The origins of the Dragoon trace back to when Bahaumet, the God of all Metallic Dragons once reached out to a civilization of on a far off planet in the Astral sea. He saw a purpose in these people, the Thri-Kreen. This civilization was on the brink of collapse from being attacked by the Solar Dragon, Isithum or (wandering infection) and his cohorts. The Thri-Kreen developed great jumping abilities in response to the relentless assault and while effective, we’re no match from their astral invaders. Bahaumet the offered them salvation, knowing their abilities to be of great use on the prime material, in future endeavors. Now a days the teaching of the Dragoon is a well known practice in the Faerun, and Dragoons are often held in high regard as the valiant protectors of cities.
