[QUOTE="helium3, post: 4387032, member: 31301"] Heh heh. What was supposed to be a quick response to your questions turned into a five page "historical account" of a specific event. I've attached the rough draft (only edited for errors found with a spelling and grammar checker) as a word document. The Dragon is "Bright Scale", a wyrm of advanced age that is said to live within Bright Scale Mount at the eastern end of The Dragon's Isle. The Lady serves The Dragon and is herself served by the Dragonborn that live on said isle. What they're all about isn't very clear, but they do worship Bright Scale as the living embodiment of the divine retribution aspect of Bahamut. Anyone who sets foot on The Dragon's Isle must choose to either swear the same oath or leave within three moons of choosing not to. Any other choice renders their lives forfeit. Dragonborn that have chosen not to swear the oath are scattered across the Middle Reaches and generally don't agree with the Dragonborn of the Dragon's Isle for a long list of historical reasons. As for the Knights of the Glory Blade, in short they're an order of knights and paladins of any race that are dedicated to the destruction of the evil creatures of the Shadowfell. As such, they're mostly concentrated in Anju where they're constantly doing battle against the creatures that emerge from The Pit. They've spread to the other towns of the Middle Reaches though and Helen's Reach has recently seen a new temple to Bahamut completed and dedicated. Originally, the order hails from regions closer to Old Nerath, the city that was once the heart of the Empire of Nerath. The relationships between these two different Bahamuti sects and the two Dragonborn groups are intentionally complicated, murky and unclear. I'm trying to play up the aspect of PoL that allows for two religious groups that worship the same god to be very different from one another. Same goes for racial groups. Just because you have the same blood running through your veins or worship the same god doesn't mean you have exactly the same outlook and set of beliefs. [/QUOTE]
