The Dragon Armies

Before their rise as a military force, they were known simply as the Dragon Cult—a shadowy brotherhood obsessed with raising undead dragons to serve as eternal engines of terror. Its leaders thrived on secrecy, plots, and dark rituals, but their fractured structure and narrow focus kept them from wielding true power.

That changed when Ariakas seized control. With ruthless efficiency, he retired the old leadership—some by execution, others by exile—and reformed the cult into a disciplined war machine. No longer fixated on creating dracoliches, the new order turned to something far more dangerous: bending the living dragons of the world to serve. Through fear, promises of dominion, and the will of Tiamat herself, Ariakas secured their loyalty and forged them into the backbone of his armies.

Under his command, the cult shed its secretive skin and revealed itself as a unified military empire. Divided into five dragon armies, each adapted for different terrains and tactics, they operate as a single machine of conquest—one army breaking defenses, another consolidating power, others sabotaging, supplying, or striking from the shadows. Together, they embody the shift from hidden cabal to open dominion, with dragons themselves not as symbols of death but as living weapons of war.

Chromatic Armies

Red Dragon Army

The red dragon army is the main instrument of conquest. Its tactics rely on overwhelming force, terror, and destruction. Red dragons and their riders unleash fire from the skies while heavily armed infantry and monstrous auxiliaries storm cities and strongholds. The aim is not only to seize territory but to break resistance through devastation and fear, ensuring survivors are too demoralized to rise again.

Blue Dragon Army

The blue dragon army is the second pillar of conquest, built on discipline and precision. It thrives in open terrain such as plains, deserts, and steppes, where cavalry charges and lightning strikes dominate the battlefield. Its tactics focus on organization and battlefield control, maintaining supply lines while pushing frontiers steadily forward. Where the reds burn and terrorize, the blues secure territory and establish order through relentless, structured expansion.

Black Dragon Army

The black dragon army functions as the central administration of the war effort. Once a region is taken, these forces consolidate control—rooting out resistance, spreading fear, and entrenching networks of informants and collaborators. Skilled in swampy or river-bound terrain, they also protect vital supply lines. Their focus is not direct conquest but transforming victories into lasting dominion through intimidation, bureaucracy, and manipulation.

White Dragon Army

The white dragon army is less about territorial conquest and more about logistics and support. Operating in the north and harsh, frozen environments, they use ambushes and brutal raids to disrupt enemy movements while also transporting resources, plunder, and troops through otherwise impassable terrain. Their unpredictability keeps enemies tied down, while their logistical role ensures the rest of the dragon armies remain supplied and reinforced.

Green Dragon Army

The green dragon army serves as the saboteurs and spies. They operate primarily in forests and dense terrain, where ambushes, poison, and manipulation are most effective. Their purpose is to weaken enemies from within—spreading misinformation, turning allies against each other, and striking at leadership. By the time the red and blue dragon armies arrive, the defenders are often already fractured and demoralized.
