D&D 5E (2024) Purple Dragon Knight as a background?

[Mournblade94]

I would like to point out: no one has read the new and updated Cormyr lore in the new book.

So the new PDK is probably lore correct, it's the old lore that is out of date

More likely the new creators don't know the old lore and are using handwavium for kewl's sake. Plus the player tokens would look cooler on actual plays!

We should probably just make all Cormyr the Kingdom of Purple Dragonborn. Old lore is outdated. No need to pay attention to it.

That is exactly why people abandoned 4e for Pathfinder. New does not mean better. Just look at the Wheel of Time show for reference.

Make it a background. New designers are taking a good bit of FR lore and messing it up with a dragon riding subclasses. Just make a character and roleplay the PDK.
