Order of Draconis
The revival of our true superiors.
Structure
The Holy See, which makes up a body of Bishops who oversea the affairs of the entire Order. Under the Bishops, Cardinals are charged with each province of Avalonia, which overseas The Diocese that allows priests and clerics to operate within cities, towns, and villages.
Aside, paladins and war clerics can be nominated by The Holy See. Although they hold no direct affiliation with The Holy See, they are given voting powers within the organization, and their voices are taken with care under most circumstances.
Public Agenda
To reclaim the Draconic Pantheon for the world to be ruled justly, and to better society through the worship of the Draconic gods.
Mythology & Lore
It was said that the world was formed by dragons. These ancient beings of raw strength and power worked together to rid the world of the treacherous monsters that plagued the world, allowing for humans to grow. As dominant lifeforms, they are meant to rule directly over humanity. But by no fault of their own, they were imprisoned, and can no longer exert their influence properly upon the material plane.
Divine Origins
The religion formed from a belief system that had existed for thousands of years, mostly through oral tradition, worshiping the central gods of the Draconic pantheon. Although belief waned as time progressed, the traditions were kept alive as they always had been. Eventually, when The Kingdom of Avalon rose to power, they instituted the Order of Draconis as a state-mandated religion, trusting in the gods for protection of the realm.
Cosmological Views
The world was a place of raw chaos upon its inception. It was dragons, merciless and brutal rulers, who dominated the material plane, purifying it with raw fire until the land was free for humans to use.
The central gods of Draconic belief are Bahamut and Tiamat, with lesser dragons that have attained godhood over time being worshiped alongside to a lesser degree. These holy dragons include: Fafnir, Deirdre, Illuyanka, Adramelech, Ixion, and Valice.
Political Influence & Intrigue
Order of Draconis is a state-sponsored religion operated by The Kingdom of Avalon. Thus, they have enormous influence over the daily affairs of people throughout Avalon.
