House Draconis - Notable House Draconis Knights: Blazeclaw - Blazeclaw was one of many Imperial Knights lost on the soil of Donatos Primus. The Knight armour piloted by Sylvest Dar Draconis, Lady Suset's brother, was lost in a particularly grisly way during the despicable ambush conducted by Alicia Kar Manticos at an abandoned Adeptus Arbites precinct fortress. Both the fortress itself and the towering granite cliffs overlooking it had been carefully prepped with Demolition Charges that would cause a massive landslide. While running from the devastation being wrought by these explosions, Blazeclaw was hit by falling debris, speared through its cockpit by one of the Gothic spires that Imperial architecture is particularly fond of.Crimson Blade - Crimson Blade was the Knight Gallant of Sire Nauman Dar Draconis during the Second Ork War. Crimson Blade was one of the few Knights that could be roused after the Orks' devastating electromagnetic pulse attack which shut down all of the Draconspire's electronically-controlled defences. As the Orks penetrated deep into the fortress, Crimson Blade was the only Knight left standing and successfully defended the Chamber of Ghosts until the remaining Knights could be restored to function once more.Draconsflame - Sire Olric's Knight, Draconsflame, was one of the few Knight Crusaders in service with House Draconis. Draconsflame survived most of the early battles of the Donatos War, including the hard-fought escape following the disastrous First Battle of the Valle Electrum and the ill-famed Ambush at the Arbites Tower. Sadly, Draconsflame was destroyed in the Second Battle of the Valle Electrum, caught in yet another ambush by the cowardly Knights of House Wyvorn who used the blazing inferno of Donatos' refineries to mask their generators' heat signature and attack from an unexpected quarter.Dracon's Ire - Dracon's Ire is the ancestral name of the Knight Errant piloted by Lady Melessa Dar Draconis during the Second Ork War. While attempting to destroy one of the gigantic Ork landing-ships known as a Rok, Dracon's Ire was damaged by an enemy walker classified as a Morkanaut. One of its weapon shot an electrically charged net that disrupted the Knight Errant's delicate electronic systems and severely wounded its pilot. Both the Knight and the pilot recovered but missed the rest of the conflict.Drake Ascendant - The Drake Ascendant was the Imperial Knight of Sire Natan which bravely shielded Tolwyn's Knight with its own as the Knights of House Chimaeros and House Wyvorn charged their line.Embersword - Embersword is the suit of Knight armour bonded to Gatekeeper Suset Dar Draconis and one of only eight Imperial Knights that survived the Donatos War.Fire Defiant - The Knight Paladin identified as Fire Defiant was one of the few suits of Knight armour to return to Adrastapol in fighting condition, although it had lost its Reaper Chainsword in the fierce fighting against the Renegades of House Chimaeros and House Wyvorn and the Space Marines of the Word Bearers Traitor Legion. The pilot of Fire Defiant is none other than First Knight Jennika Tan Draconis, the current High King's own sister. Although she had passed her Ritual of Becoming several years before the future High King, the Donatos War would be Jennika's and Fire Defiant‘s true baptism of fire. The Knight Paladin and its pilot both performed admirably throughout the close-won victories and many setbacks of this campaign. Without doubt, their greatest achievement was obtained in the decisive Second Battle of the Valle Electrum during which Fire Defiant faced and defeated not only the Archtraitor Gerraint Kar Adrastapol, but also the towering monstrosity known as the Iron God, an incredibly ancient and powerful suit of Knight armour identified as a relic Acastus Knight Porphyrion.Fires of Valour - Fires of Valour is one of the rare Knight Crusaders in service with House Draconis. It possesses an Avenger Gatling Cannon, Rapid-Fire Battle Cannon and Ironstorm Missile Pod. Its latest pilot is the young Sire Roget Dar Draconis.Firestorm - Firestorm was the Knight Gallant piloted by Sire Percivane Dar Draconis during the Donatos War. Selected as part of the High King's complement of Knights after the tragic death of Tolwyn Tan Draconis, Firestorm was part of the party of 40 Knights that annihilated an enemy patrol of Imperial Knights belonging to the Renegade House Chimaeros. The Renegade Knights had believed themselves secure in an abandoned Adeptus Arbites precinct fortress, a belief that soon proved to be false. During the Loyalists' attack on the fortress, Firestorm was the only armour to suffer damage when a lucky hit on its generator housing caused a chain of catastrophic overloads that forced Firestorm into an emergency shutdown. Fortunately for Sire Percivane, his Knight reactivated at the very moment the cowardly Renegade Knights detonated hidden Demolition Charges that destroyed the fortress and caused a massive landslide, allowing Firestorm to outrun the devastation. Others were not so lucky. Firestorm was amongst the surviving Knights that escaped the butcher's bill on Donatos Primus and it fought again during the Second Ork War.Fyreheart - As suited Knight armour used by the High King of Adrastapol himself, Fyreheart was the heavily modified Knight Paladin piloted solely by High King Tolwyn Tan Draconis. As the personal steed of the High King, Fyreheart had been equipped with an ancient and powerful weapon -- the heirloom of the High Kings, a powerful Tempest Blade probably passed down from monarch to monarch since the time of the Horus Heresy, or even before that. The tragic tale of Tolwyn's death recounts Fyreheart’s demise: during the fateful First Attack on the Valle Electrum, Fyreheart despatched several attacking House Chimaeros Knights until it was wounded by a champion of the Word Bearers. A well-placed hit with its Power Fist allowed the enemy champion to severely damage one of Fyreheart’s legs, slowing it down. As the Loyalist Knights were in full retreat, High King Tolwyn ordered all the other injured or crippled Knights to form the rearguard around him, buying time for the more mobile survivors to escape the trap laid for them by their enemies. Holding the line, Fyreheart bravely fought on until it was charged by a worthy contender: the usurper Gerraint Tan Chimaeros and his steed Therianthros. However, before his death, High King Tolwyn activated the detonators of the Demolition Charges set by House Draconis Sacristans, destroying the bridge and preventing any pursuit from the Renegade Knights.Honourblaze - The famed Knight Warden Honourblaze has seen many battles at the hand of its battle-hardened pilot: Markos Dar Draconis. According to the tales of House Draconis, it was in this suit of Knight armour that the then very young Markos rode to battle against the Orks of WAAAGH! Skarjaw, on the very day of his Ritual of Becoming. During the Donatos War, the veteran Knight would be at the forefront of the fighting, leading his Lance against such diverse enemies such as Renegade Knights, Chaos Space Marines and Chaos Cultists. Yet the Donatos War would take a heavy toll on Honourblaze, especially its legendary confrontation with the Iron God, a rare Acastus Knight Porphyrion piloted by Dunkan Tan Wyvorn. During this epic fight, Honourblaze not merely survived one, but three separate volleys of the Porphyrion's Magna Lascannons. At the end of this ordeal, Honourblaze was left barely able to stand. Half its heat-sinks had blown out, its reactor nearly went critical and its armour had been punctured in several places, chief amongst them its upper torso and cockpit. Blackened by multiple internal fires, with the bomber wings of the Imperial Navy rushing in to destroy the Valle Electrum, Honourblaze was abandoned. But its wreck was eventually retrieved and repaired once the Adrastapolian Knights returned to their homeworld.Honour Infernus - Honour Infernus was the Knight armour piloted by Sire Petaer Dar Draconis, one of the Knights selected by Jennika Tan Draconis to join her in the defence of the Loyalists' advance base. With most of their strength drawn away in yet another ambush, the Loyalists came under attack by a large horde of Chaos Cultists and their Daemon Engines. Fighting against three of these unholy mixtures of Daemon and machine, Honour Infernus was brought low and dismembered by the Daemon Engine's pneumatic claws.Iron Drake - The Iron Drake belongs to the Knight Gallant-type and its pilot is none other than Sire Garath Dar Draconis, one of High King Tolwyn's former bodyguards and the only one to outlive the esteemed ruler of House Draconis. The Iron Drake saw heavy fighting during the whole of the Donatosian War and was one of only eight Knights to remain battleworthy at the very conclusion of this bitter campaign. As such it participated in all the important battles fought by the Adrastapolian nobility, from the victorious establishment of the Pentakhost Peninsula Bridgehead to the disastrous ambushes at both the Valle Electrum and the Adeptus Arbites precinct-fortress and their final victory upon the Square of Unrelenting Toil. Having survived the Donatos War relatively intact, Iron Drake served the newly appointed Master At Arms of High King Danial during the dire events of the Second Ork War, where it saw much action. It was the Iron Drake that led the pursuit of the routing Orks of Warboss Drogg. The Iron Drake was disabled by a previously unknown Ork electromagnetic pulse weapon as it defended Ironclaw Gate on the Draconspire's exterior wall. The Knight abruptly shut down and refused to awaken, forcing Master At Arms Garath to abandon his noble steed and continue to fight on foot. It is unknown if the Iron Drake survived the Siege of the Draconspire as the Orks were able to seize and hold the exterior districts for many solar weeks before their final defeat.Oath of Flame - One of the eldest suits of Knight armour still in service within House Draconis, Oath of Flame was built from original STC data during Adrastapol's colonisation by Mankind in the Age of Technology. Oath of Flame is a venerable Knight Errant presented to Danial Tan Draconis on the day of his elevation to Knighthood. Originally equipped with a Reaper Chainsword and a Thermal Cannon, a configuration it featured throughout the entire Donatosian War, it is believed that as the personal armour of the ruling High King of Adrastapol, Oath of Flame now might bear the ancestral Tempest Blade of the High King's office in lieu of its Reaper Chainsword, the very same blade that was retrieved from the fallen Knight of the usurper, Gerraint Kar Adrastapol. Gerraint himself had stolen it from the mangled remains of Fyreheart, High King Tolwyn's Knight. To better protect their liege, the Sacristans of House Draconis fitted Oath of Flame with an enhanced Ion Shield generator which is vastly more powerful than that of a standard Knight.Pyrefang - The Knight Gallant known as Pyrefang was the Knight armour of Sire Daeved Dar Draconis, one of High King Tolwyn's two bodyguards during the Donatos War. At the front of the Loyalist advance upon the Valle Electrum, Pyrefang was severely damaged in the opening volleys of House Chimaeros' treachery. Shot from behind while its Ion Shield was directed to the front, Pyrefang lost an arm before it could counterattack. As High King Tolwyn tried to extract himself from the ambush being sprung, he ordered Pyrefang and the other Gallants to the front to clear a path through the militia-crewed enemy armour battalions. While the Loyalist survivors made good upon their escape, Pyrefang remained at the High King's side, holding back the enemy pursuit in a desperate rear-guard action until the bridge over which the survivors had escaped was destroyed and Pyrefang consigned to fiery oblivion.Pyromancer - The Knight Crusader identified as Pyromancer was the steed of Sire Reikhard during the tumultuous events of the Second Ork War. Alongside the Master at Arms' Iron Drake, Pyromancer was tasked with the defence of Ironclaw Gate, one of several gates in the outermost defence wall of the Draconspire, a task they successfully performed for an entire solar week before both Knights were taken out by a previously unknown xenos EMP-weapon that deprived their Knights of energy. Pyromancer’s current status is unknown.
