Dragon Priest (Cult)
Background
The Dragon Priests are a faction of S'Kra Mur who worship the World Dragon. They were founded by Sh'kial in 255 BL, but he was murdered by his student Dzree in the year 205 BL. Dzree led a bloody war that conquered nearly all of known Elanthia and ushered in the Dragon Priest Empire. The empire reigned for more than 150 years until Dzree's death and subsequent defeat of the Dragon Priests.
