House Dragon

(To be added)

House Dragon Knight House colour scheme.

**House Dragon** (Not to be confused with House Drogon) is an Imperial Knight household that has ties to both the Imperium of Man and the Adeptus Mechanicus because of their actions. House Dragon was founded on the planet of Pern, a world located in Segmentum Obscurus. House Dragon, thanks to their remoteness relative to the rest of the domains of mankind, have never really followed the directions of the larger Imperium. While they still are a part of the Imperium, they have far more ties with Legio Draco, a Titan Legion that hails from the planet Draconis Ignis in the same system as Pern.

## History

* **The Choice of Alligence**

The Knights of House Dragon had found them in a intereasting pradicament when it came time for them to choose if they wished to fallow the Mechanicus or if they wished to fallow the greater Imperium for their true alligence almost a perfect 50/50 split. So after much deliberation a deal was struck The Twin Leaders of the house decided that one twin would join the mechanicum and the other twin the greater imperium effectvly both spliting their house in two politicaly but with a important catch. While the house may on a ploitical level two different house on a social level and how they saw it in the house they were still one house but under two wings. The right wing was created. This wing devoted itself to the Mechanicum becoming the personal hearlds of the Titan Legio based on a Forge World near by the Legio Draco being with a certain group inside of this wing being name The Wings Of Midnight being the knights who marched to war with the Princeps Maximus of the Legio Draco and in their Titan The Dragon of Midnight. The Left wing instead of devoting itself to the Mechanicum instead devoted itself to the wider Imperium commenly going on great and mighty cursader marching far and wide sending their lances to the far side of the segmentum to wage war where ever knights were needed.

* **The Great Loss**

Not long after the fall of Cadia Tragedy struck the house. The son of the Princpes of the Right Wing was killed in his first outing in true combat. His gaurdians 2 full lances of Knights had failed in their duty. For this failure they were bannished from the household being told the only way for them to return was to hunt down the Iron Warriors that had murdered the Princpes son and to earned great honor in this bannishment. With this verdit and understanding the Knights of these two lances headed out becoming freeblades but staying intouch with eachother commenly forming their old lances when ever their is mention of the Iron Warriors that murdered their legies son leaving no enemy left where ever they march. Being led on two fronts by both The Dragons Scale a Knight Lancer of great renown rumored to have brought down mutipule god engines with his lance and The Bronze Dragon a Magera Knight that when it was a part of the house used to be one of the High Barons of the right wing. Their jurnour may soon be over as they have recived rumours of the leader of the Iron Warrior warband that murdered their legies son has been spoted as they prepare for one final battle in which they will either return to their old house with Great Honor and Renown or be killed in combat which in their death they recive forgivness by their old house as what remains of them and their knights will be brought back and placed in a place of honor being remeberd as thouse who gave their lives to avange their Leiges son.

## Organisation

The organization of House Dragon is very different from most Knight households due to a split in the house. One half of the house is the followers of the Titans of Legio Draco. They follow these god-engines to whatever battle they may come across and have become the personal heralds of their Princeps Maximus, with the Knights being called the Titan's 'Wings'. The other half of the house, the side more aligned with the typical organisation of the Questor Imperialis, is more willing to roam into the wider galaxy. They act in tandem with each other but are rarely home, for they send lances all over the galaxy roaming and looking for the honor of battle.

The house is led by two leaders that are always twins. One of the leaders is the leader of the Questor Mechanicus side - the left-Wing of the House - while the other one leads the Questor Imperials side - or right-wing of the house. Whenever the house goes to war together the two Leaders, or the Dual-Headed King, must agree the house must act together. When the time is right for them to act together the two leaders march together in their High Court with their Barons at their side.

The High Court is made up of 10 barons, each one piloting a Knight of much renown of the House. These include, *The Gold Dragon*, *The Red Dragon*, *The Blue Dragon*, *The White Dragon*, *The Black Dragon*, *The Green Dragon*, *The Silver Dragon*, *The Bronze Dragon*, *The Brass Dragon*, and *The Copper Dragon*. With the chromatic of the House being the Barons of the left-wing and the metalic of the Barons being the Barons of the right-wing.

## Battle Strategems

The Knight household has not lost its old ways and dearly clings to its past. Because of this they still fight like they did during the Great Crusade and the Horus Heresy sending out entire banners and when the need arises lances of Knights composed of the same type. They are very famous for their larger then normal amount of working version of the Mechanicum style Knight which are nearly all used by the left Wing but when the need arises these Knight are also used by the right Wing.

The house enjoys much tactical flexibility with each High Baron having extremely different fighting styles that when used together can lead to a dangerous combo. The Gold and Red Dragons both favor fast and strong strikes, and as such typically choose the Cerastus class Knights to quickly outflank suround and harass the enemy using their speed and firepower to force the enemy towards The Black and Silver Dragon's Lances that are composed of heavy firepower in the Castelean and Crusader that can rip all but the most mighty of foes to pieces.

The Elder Copper and White instead prefer to be in the thick of it being right in the middle of combat both prefer the type of Knights that excel in these areas including the Lancer and Galaint also been known to use extensibly the Atropas style Knight. The Green and Bronze dragon instead preffer to have a large mix mostly mad up of the Paladin, Errant, and Warden style Knights fighting in all sorts of ranges but still being a force to be reconed with. The last two High Barons, The Blue and Brass dragons are both a fan of small quick units making using most of the Knights Armigers in their attacks along with a large amount of Preceptos watching over the armiger guiding them to were they are needed and stricking fast and hard with the armigers to cripple an enemy force before they even know what hit them.
