dragon companion. Tough, relentless, and unyielding, knights
and their dragons never give up, figh ng to either heroic or

An Unbreakable Bond

The bond between a knight and their dragon is nearly
impossible to eclipse. Only powerful magic can even a empt to
turn them against one another, and they nearly never fight each
other against their own will. Despite this, a knight and their
dragon are known to argue over strategy, tac cs, or even
miscellaneous things, as the dragon, despite its respect for its
knight, is not quick to let go of its ego.

As the knight and dragon grow together, this bond
strengthens, gran ng both the knight and dragon impressive
strength and unique powers. The dragon is typically the stronger
of the pair as they develop, but will be weaker earlier on, while
the knight s ll has to watch over them to ensure their bond can
con nue to flourish. Eventually, some knights might put down
their weapons and live a simple life with their dragon, having
forged a legendary friendship through the trials they faced.

This connec on has its drawbacks, however, and should the
knight fall in ba le, the dragon too will die, as the dragon's spirit
can't live without the knight. Should the dragon fall in ba le, the
knight can restore its body with a costly ritual, but a few knights
might instead choose to let their dragons rest, and go on to
instead simply channel their dragon's power.
