Dragonlords

"Every skill of the dragon still resides in the dragontear. My mind and the dragon's instincts are one."

- Valerius Mordine, Volume 1

Of the bloodline of Worgal, dragonlords are all gifted with the ability of dragonmind, enabling them to give simple orders to dragons and organize their actions in battle. For ages Dragonlords have been seen as powers that often decided the outcome of great wars. Their unique ability to issue controls to dragons allows them to transform what are essentially beasts into well-oiled machines of war.

The Southern lands have eight known Dragonlords, but it is a known fact that countries keep their Dragonlord forces a secret. Losing any of them presents a substantial weakening of the army command chain, so it isn't unheard of for great espionage endeavours being undertaken to find the identities of the Dragonlords. Palladia has three Dragonlords total, one of them being Valerius Mordine.

In addition to controlling dragons, Draogonlords can learn to master the ability known as Trueform. Trueform allows Dragonlords to use Dragontears - crystalline shards that contain the core of a high ranking dragon - to take the form and memories of a dragon.

The power of Dragonlords is innate. The power to communicate with dragons is a mental ability that has never been truly explored in Ravine. Many have tried - enemy Dragonlords have often been killed and examined in order for the secret of their art to be revealed, but still no answer has been found. All that is known is that there seems to be some deep link on a soul level between Dragonlords and dragons.
