D&D General The Purple Dragon Knights are tied to an Amethyst Dragon (confirmed)

I'd be happy to help on that, I know lots about them and can offer the original lore if your friend's not interested in the new lore.

They're a great faction because their entire ideology is based on a mistranslated prophecy their leader refused to admit he got wrong. He didn't even make that big a mistake, but moving the period one word over changed the entire meaning of it.

The Cult's had lots of schisms and internal power struggles and oftentimes deceives new members, so it's easy to justify even a Good PC having been a member before the start of the campaign.

Sammaster's faction of the Cult of the Dragon & Tiamat's Faction are not the only Factions.

Spoiler

Ashardalon has his own faction of the cult of the Dragon in the new Fallbacks novel [Spoiler/]

Thank you so much!! We will definitely keep your advice in mind!! The Cult is such a neat concept!!

But this particualr case just strikes me as ... lazy? Shallow? Like the original PDK subclass which got so widely panned, it smacks of the work of someone who only bothered to vaguely browse the FR lore before finding an interesting phrase and riffing off it in the most perfunctory and uninspired direction as possible. Using the shape of the lore without caring or learning what it is.

Can you tell usnanything else from the preview copy that you clearly seem to have read...?
