Dragoon (Fighter)

*Long before Thornreach was an idea, the tribe of the Sohmish on Yedria carried their polearms and combated the native dragonkin in their homeland. As time moved on and things became more dire the first of these Dragoons began to lead revolts against the Children of Tiamat. Now a honed fighting style native to the Kingdom of Sohm Al, these Yedrian Dragoons are considered the elite dragon hunters in the world.*

## Information

Dragoons are a specialized archetype for fighter in the World of Phrelle. Each one requires approval to make sure the proper information is given about their specific history at this point in play. Each requires history connecting it with Sohm Al, through some manner. Approval for the class can only be granted via Sevv09, as this is still in the playtest phase selecting one of these as a character will mean potential changes to your character during play.

## Lore

To be created when Yedria lore is worked on.

## Special Variations

There are currently two Variations upon the Dragoon Archetype. Both of these variations are for Non-playable characters at this point however the lore for such would be known by those who train as dragoons.

#### **Dark Dragoons**

These “evil” dragoons are a sub-sect of Yedrians cast out long ago. They embrace the Chromatic teachings and seek to destroy the “good” metallic dragons as well as most neutral dragons. They have been known to work alongside Chromatics for a time before either they or the Chromatic attempts to betray one another

#### **Holy Dragoons**

This has happened but once in history a Dragoon blessed with Bahamut’s power in a time of great need. Seen as a bastion against Tiamat this Holy Dragoon is considered as Bahamuts Blessing to banish Tiamat.
