The legacy of Kao and his fiercest troll warriors, the Discipline of the Dragon is geared toward dominating the battlefield. Adepts of the Dragon may choose abilities based on Resilience, Draconic Traits, Instilling Fear, and Draconic Fighting. Adepts of the Dragon may choose prowess in Might, Toughness, and Resistance.
In the millennia past, the secrets of the Dragon Discipline were known only to the Troll Empire, servants of the warrior god Kao. After Kao's defeat by the Blessed Gods, the discipline was largely lost, or hidden by the few followers who survived. Over time as trolls integrated into the shared societies of humans, elves, and other mortal races a trusted few earned the right to these secrets. With Kao's return to Lorithandar, practitioners of this Discipline are more open with their powers. An Adept of the Dragon may find distrust, or hatred from those who remember the Troll Empire and the God War, or acceptance and trust by those who wield the same Discipline. Trolls may feel it is their duty to educate other practitioners on the history of the Discipline which many consider a gift from their creator.
