The Drakewardens

The Drakewardens are an elite and secretive order of warriors who have mastered the rare and ancient combination of Bladesinging and drake riding. Their unique skills make them formidable in both aerial and ground combat, blending the grace of the Elven Bladesong with the power and ferocity of their drake companions. High in the northern reaches of the Doral Mountains, the guilds stronghold, known as Drakehaven, is a series of interconnected caverns and spires. These structures are carved into the mountainside and only accessible by air or through hidden mountain paths.
