Dynasty of Steel

Introduction

The militarized flight of red dragons who make up the Dynasty of Steel are ruthless and cruel. Focused on earning rank and title, They compete with their fellow dragons for merit and success. This drives the red dragons to push for military conflict in which they can display their prowess and leadership. These campaigns and conquering behaviors often involve subterfuge and manipulation of mortal races into breaking treaties, even outright funding criminal organizations just so they can go and crush them to inflate their reputations.

The red dragons do not take failure well, often severely punishing failures among their own members, leaving magical scars along the hides of those who fail. The dragons with unharmed hides are given immediate respect among their kind, the fewer scars the higher the dragons success rate. This leads to an artificial caste system between the scarred and the pristine, though there is no official reinforcement of this caste system.
