Dragon Warrior The dragon warriors are the elite defenders of Ur-Draxa. They exist solely to obey and serve their lord and master, the Dragon of Tyr. Dragon warriors are held the greatest esteem by the populace of their city. The fanaticism in which they strive to accomplish the Dragon’s bidding is legendary and renown through out the Valley of Dust and Fire and beyond. Most dragon warriors are either fighters or rangers who have climbed through the ranks of Ur-Draxa’s social and political infrastructure, though they can hail from any class. A great number of them consist of warriors, however, an occasional templar or member of another class is not uncommon. Dragon warriors can be encountered in Ur-Draxa, or scouting the desolation of the Valley of Dust and Fire. After the death of the Dragon and the creation of the Cerulean Storm, some of their number fled to the Obsidian Citadel located the Sundered Regions. Dragon warriors are a proud and arrogant organization and view all others in contempt. Even though the dragon warriors work well with each other they are not beyond back stabbing one of their own in order to advance in station.

On a failed save, creatures with 4 or fewer Hit Die become panicked for 2d6 rounds and those with 5 or more Hit Die become shaken for 2d6 rounds.

He was pretty high level . . . maybe an Ur Draxan dragon warrior that defected and took his mount with him? Certainly more interesting than a boring ranger that has a roc.
#3 Sysane Apr 30, 2005 10:52:08	Thanks :D I've always liked the Dragon Warriors of Ur-Draxa since their apperance in tVoDaF. That whole book was/is chock full of great material. I figure if anyone survived the destruction of Ur-Draxa it would be the Dragon Warriors. I'll have to dig up Forest Maker and take a look at Culler. It would be cool to tie him to the City of Doom in some way.
