Into the jaws of Death,

Into the mouth of Hell

Rode the six hundred.”

### About Us

Welcome, old friends and new, to the foremost of fellowships in Pandora, the **Dragon Riders**. You stand among the finest faction in the skies.

Our clan color is **Blue**.

Unlike our rivals, we were cursed with barren lands and left to die. Instead we thrived. No other clan has built a finer town, raided more dungeons, or won as many Top Survivors.

With your support our wingspan expands ever further. Together, **We Ride**.

### Becoming a Dragon Rider

To become a Dragon Rider, use the Join Clan Token in your starter kit. If you're lucky, you'll be randomly assigned to join our ranks.

You can also visit the Clan Office in Sanctuary and buy extra Join Clan Tokens at the cost of a nether star.

### Being a Dragon Rider

As one of us, you gain a number of privileges.

You alone can use the Dragon Rider Gates, portals that lead from Sanctuary out to the deeper wilderness across Pandora.

You may not directly harm or be harmed by any Dragon Rider. You are immune to attacks from your fellow clansmen, making it much easier to fight side-by-side without fear of friendly fire.

You can always see the nametags of other Dragon Riders, above ground and below, through walls and at a distance. These are the only nametags you can see in Pandora, so if you encounter someone with no name, they are from another clan and could be dangerous.

You have the ability to privately communicate with all Dragon Riders by simply typing /ch dragonriders. No one outside of the clan can read what you say whilst you do so. To return to the main channel so that everyone in Dragonhollow can hear you again, say /ch g.

You possess the right to safely enter Rider's Refuge, headquarters of the Dragon Riders. To receive private living quarters in the basement barracks with storage that only you can access, contact Tox either in-game or on the forums.

You have the opportunity to bring fame and fortune to the Dragon Riders and be rewarded with a free elytra, taking to the skies to spread our wings across all of Pandora.

### Our History

We came to Pandora as adventurers seeking fortune and glory. The goddess of discord Eris tore us from our friends and factions, forced us through the Dragon Gate to die in the desert.

At first we struggled, falling behind the other clans. The weakest among us turned their backs and fled. Some even attacked their own kind.

It was Abbray who gave us purpose, called us to action. Side by side as one we rose above our rivals. We built the largest hometown and raised a refuge where Riders were always welcome.

Eris thought she was punishing us, but she only made us stronger.

Today we stand united and together **We Ride**.

### The Clans

There are three dragon clans in Dragonhollow: the Dragon Riders, the Dragonkin, and the Dragon Hunters.

The Dragon Riders trace our origins back to the great dragon-tamers of old. We own the skies. Our lands are desert and our color is **Blue**.

The Dragonkin once lived in harmony with dragons and consider them equals, making us natural allies. Their lands are plains and their color is **Green**.

The Dragon Hunters have always hunted dragons and their riders, making us historic enemies. Their lands are savanna and their color is **Purple**.
