Conservatory
To the world outside, The Conservatory is an enigma, wrapped in awe and fear. Their unwavering goal of re-establishing draconic rule makes them a threat to the existing order, especially to the kingdoms of the Gods. While many see them as fanatics clinging to bygone grandeur, there are those who, secretly, admire their determination and the promise of a world under the majestic wing of dragons.
The Conservatory’s disdain for the current rulers often leads to covert clashes, political intrigues, and sometimes, open confrontations. Some of the few remaining dragons, especially those disillusioned with the world’s current state, view The Conservatory as the last beacon of hope for their kind’s reclamation of glory. However, not all dragons agree with their aggressive approach, leading to internal schisms and philosophical conflicts within the wider draconic community.
