[QUOTE="cmbarona, post: 4666880, member: 71281"] I'm trying to invent an organization of mercenaries for one of my games. It was founded by Dragonborn, and they consist most of its members. It is called the "Honorblood Legion." I've already divided the organization into branches, which are names after different parts of a dragon's anatomy: [LIST] [*]The Talons: the main physical fighting force. Whenever they have a contract, the Talons are almost always involved. [*]The Breath: the magical fighting force, consisting of both arcane and divine classes. [*]The Fangs: a series of special task forces consisting of only the fiercest warriors. This is the highest rank available to anyone who sees action on a regular basis. [*]The Tail: spies who keep the Legion's intel up to date and work as counter-agents for assassins. [*] The Scales: members trained in the specialized skill set of being personal bodyguards. Each member of the Horns (see below) keeps at least two Scales in their employ. [*] The Wings: the tactical masterminds. They decide how best to allocate the troops once a contract has been accepted. [*]The Keepers: overseers of the intel of the Legion; more of an office position. Also serve a number of administrative functions. [*]The Horns: the governing body. [/LIST] So, from here I'm looking to make dragon-themed ranks within the Legion. I'd like at least 10 ranks, and they may or may not correspond to a particular branch. Just about any naming convention goes. I've considered drakes, but there aren't enough varieties in the MM to account for all of the ranks. I also don't want any of the ranks to sound derogatory, even at the lowest ranks, which is why I've shyed away from "wyrmling" and "pseudodragon." Ideas? [/QUOTE]
