**Dragon Faithful** ｢竜を祀る民, *ryū o matsuru tami*, lit. "Dragon-Worshipping Residents"｣ is the name for those who worship the Dragon Princess, Milim Nava.

## Background

Strictly speaking, the members of the Dragon Faithful willingly choose to worship and obey her commands before they become her official subordinates. Milim's domain, which is known as the City of the Forgotten Dragon, is inhabited by a population of under a hundred thousand people who live in harmony with nature, relying on the land for sustenance.

The Dragon Faithful, residing within the City of the Forgotten Dragon, number less than a hundred thousand in total. They lead their daily lives as a cooperative community without a centralized government. Although they may not be known for their combat prowess, it should be noted that all of them are Dragonewts, humanoid beings with Dragon lineage. Unlike their Lizardmen counterparts, they are descended from dragons who chose to adopt a more Human form and interbred with humans. They appear almost indistinguishable from ordinary humans, except for their inherently stronger physiques. Almost none of them can revert to their original draconic form.

## Abilities

The Dragon Faithful, due to certain local conditions, possess exceptional physical abilities. Alongside their remarkable organizational skills, each adult has the strength and prowess to nearly reach C-rank status. Their pacifist nature might have obscured their true potential, but in reality, they form an incredibly formidable group of warriors.

Among them, the Warrior Monk Priests stand in a league of their own. Carefully selected from the region's finest individuals, only a hundred or so were chosen. Even among the priests, individuals like Stella, who possess an ability to transform such as Dragon Change or Dragon Body are extremely rare.

Through their daily "prayer sessions" to Milim (which involved intense battle training), they attained superior combat skills. They hone their Arts and specialize in Holy Magic and hand-to-hand combat techniques, like Battlewill and the Drago Fist created by Milim. As some advanced to the level of Middray or Hermes, they even became formidable enough to be able to spar with Milim.

## Trivia

* The Dragon Faithful are shown to be farmers and are self sufficient enough to grow their own crops.
* The Faithful in particular are known to make offerings to Milim in the form of their best harvested crops, with Milim being known to pass by and eat them.
	+ However as observed by Hermes, due to the fact that they are raw vegetables, Milim is noted to be highly unhappy with the "offerings" and is known to make a deadpan and unsatisfied expression as she ate them.
	+ There's even a cameo gag in Slime Diaries Episode 8, in which Milim's statue in City of the Forgotten Dragon broke when she was enjoying roasted sweet potatoes in Tempest. Hermes commented that it must be a divine punishment for serving her something she doesn't like.
