The Dragon King

The Dragon King was a legendary warlord, conqueror and leader of the gnollish people of Eshbol. He was a gnoll himself, and a summoner of prodigious power. The Dragon King was said to be the founder of the nation, who smote their enemies and rallied the people, allowing them to form the country, and therefore holds a spot at the pinnacle of both the governance and religion of the people of Eshbol. There was no heir to his throne, and ancient tradition declares that someday the Dragon King will be reborn to lead his people once more.
Due to his summoning skill, ascendant power and success within the Dragon King's echo, Percival Webber was declared to be the Dragon King risen again, apparently ushering in a Second Age. When he became the Director, the scribe Itzli told his story to the people. Though there were some hurt feelings and dismay, eventually it was agreed that the Dragon King had been reborn not to lead them into a new era of prosperity as in old, but to lead the Few in finding their own land, as he had given the gnolls. Seeing as how he had also saved the world from destruction at the hands of the All, most Eshbolans do not begrudge their saviour's work for another disadvantaged group, as long as he visits frequently to lend them his guidance and strength.
