Pride. A defining trait of the dragons, and for good reason - their strength is unparalleled, their heritage ancient, and their weaknesses few. Why shouldn’t they be proud? Dragons are the mightiest creatures on Earth, and they know it. Similarly, humans who have inherited the will of the dragon might themselves be Heralds of Pride. With unrelenting force they strike, and with a regal demeanor they walk. They know their attitude is not simple arrogance, for they have the strength and the will to back it up. They will earn the respect they deserve, or through the fire and the flames their foes will carry on.
