Cult of Dragon

We stand on those hollow grounds, our soul lives with the fire of the dragons that once roamed our lands.

The Cult of the Dragon is a religious organization that venerates dragons and is almost exclusively composed of dragonborns and kobolds. The cult is bound by a unique belief: that their souls are forged from the power of dragons.
Embracing this conviction, its members dedicate their lives to honing their skills and becoming stronger, viewing themselves as heirs to draconic power. Unlike most Dragonborn, the cult’s adherents revere dragons as their divine ancestors, with particular devotion to their patron Deity, Fury.
The Cult believes that dragons are destined to reclaim dominion over Toriel and seeks to fully restore them to life. They aspire to become one with the dragons upon their return. To achieve this, they aim to free Fury from the seven hell, to grant her dominion over the hellish plane and the material plane. Acting as an extensive information network for their draconic mistress, the Cult works tirelessly to further her will and prepare for her eventual rise.

Goals

Fury's intelligence

The Cult of the Dragon is primarily focused on gathering intelligence for Fury and aiding her in any way possible. Ultimately Fury will be the queen of hell, and her dominion shall span across all the planes.

Perfect Self

Members of the cult share the belief that their souls are born from the essence of dragons. They dedicate themselves to honing their skills, striving to grow stronger as heirs to draconic power.
In exchange for their devotion, the cult grants its members access to artifacts from the hoards of dragons. These artifacts are used in a ritual known as "The Offering," which determines a cultist’s rise through the ranks.

Safekeep draconic lore

The Cult of the Dragon places a strong emphasis on preserving the martial traditions that are associated with dragons. These traditions range from proud warriors who channel the power of dragons in their combat, to rangers who train and ride drakes as companion, and even to paladins and clerics who tap into the divine power of dragon gods. Through their practices, members of the Cult seek to embody the ferocity and might of these legendary creatures and keep the traditions alive.

Relationships

Perks

With the Cult of Dragon as your group’s patron, you gain the following perks.

• Dragon's Lair. The cult maintains secret hiding spots across Toriel, most often within a dragon's lair. Your group knows how to locate these nondescript redoubts and can maintain a poor lifestyle in one for no cost. Revealing a dragon's lair, whether purposefully or by accident, causes you to be hunted by the cult.

Hierarchy

Cult members are expected to continually improve their skills and grow stronger. However, only dragonborns and kobolds, believed to be heirs of draconic power can ascend the hierarchy through the ritual of "The Offering."
During this ritual, the cultist receives an ancient artifact from the cult's vault. These artifacts, steeped in draconic might after years of slumber within a dragon's hoard, are said to imbue the recipient with a fragment of draconic power.

The Senses

From among those who complete "The Offering," Fury selects five individuals to act as her eyes and ears. Known as The Senses, these chosen ones maintain a direct connection with the goddess and wield significant influence within the cult.

History

The Cult of the Dragon was once a prominent and open organization, devoted to all dragons and dragon gods. It enjoyed widespread popularity across the mortal realms.
However, when Fury—the cult’s primary deity—was entombed beneath the Night Island, division arose among its followers. Some sought to free the Dragon Queen, while others believed her punishment was deserved.
This schism weakened the cult’s influence, causing its prominence to decline. The situation worsened during the Great Extinction and the Draco-Giant War. The devastation wrought by the war left the cult with a tarnished reputation, forcing its members to go into hiding.
Fury, having escaped her prison, reconnected with her followers, and the Cult of the Dragon rose once more from the ashes. However, after centuries of marriage, her relationship with Asmodeus became far less harmonious. Their union, once a fiery alliance, deteriorated into a power struggle, with Fury's ambitions chafing under the constraints of the Seven Hells.
Determined to break free and reclaim her supremacy, Fury began bolstering her cultists, inspiring them to reform the Cult of the Dragon stronger and more unified than ever before. Their ultimate goal: to liberate their queen from the Seven Hells, enabling her to reign over all planes and surpass her estranged husband in power.
In exchange for their unwavering devotion, Fury promised her most most loyal followers unparalleled draconic might.
