**House Drogon** is a honourable Imperial Knight House of the Questor Imperialis allegiance. These knights are honourable and excellent mid- to close-ranged combatants. During battle they are cold-hearted and without mercy, but between battles they are surprisingly kind-hearted and chill. In battle, they are known for taking down cities and big strongholds. They excellent defenders and often work with the Iron Drakes Chapter, but they're at their best in sieges and frontal attacks. This makes them good allies with the Emperor's Legion.

## History

Founded by Elvador Drogon in the 26th Millennium during the Dark Age of Technology, the House has had a rocky start since the beginning. It's long history in duty to the God-Emperor has spawned some truly legendary knights. Having conquered countless worlds and almost being destroyed, the story of House Drogon isn't anything to scoff at.

House Drogon was already noble before they became an Imperial Knight House, but because of financial and social problems they were almost ripped of their nobility. But that chanced through Elvador Drorgon.

### The Rise of Drogon

During the 26th Millennium a Knight of House Feardrake got isolated during a battle. The Knight was attacked by two Chaos Knight. A hard hit shook the giant machine so hard, that it broke the princeps neck. A man called Elvador Drogon, a man of noble heritage, took control of the Knight. He ran the chain blade of the Knight trough the Chaos Knight. Firing at the stone wall behind the second enemy, the stones distracted the Chaos Knight. This gave Elvador the possibility to get close to him and cut of his head.

After this glorious battle the noble House Drogon was restored. They retained their noble status and werw declared Imperial Knight House. The first High King being Elvador himslef.

### Doom is inevitable

At the beginning of the 35th Millennium a massive Chaos Force laid siege to a very important Hive World. House Drogon was sent to defend the the World. They were accompanied by a huge Military force. They had planned the perfect tactic against the Chaos Forces. Chaos Knight were destroyed without mercy. But what the Imperial Army didn't know, was that the enemy had a ally. When the Drukhari forces attacked, House Drogon and the Astra Militarum were not prepared. In that moment of surprise Chaos came in. Completely overwhelmed the Knight were hunted down and the foot soldiers were slaughtered.

The Princeps Anton Drogon made a dire decision. He and his crew left their Knight and laid ambush to a Chaos Knight. Infiltrating the enemy machine, they assassinated the crew. They took control and went under cover. In that way they managed to escape, but they suffered a traumatic experience. The entire crew vent mad and Anton managed to train a new generation of Drogon Princeps and then he retired, haunted from the event, that almost destroyed his House. One Knight escaped. The rest were slaughtered.
