The Red Dragons
From Fools And Heroes Wiki
Strictly a scouting unit rather than mercenary unit. Most of the members were followers of Crowa as well.
The unit was formed in Llaminusu with the slaying of a Dragon. The members came over to Ithron following the succesful invasion into Llaminusu by the adventuring community to cause it to be a province of Ithron. In return for the Ithronians (specifically the 'Shieldmaidens of Crowa') freeing the Llaminusians from their heretic King, the Red Dragons came to Ithron to return the favour of the Shieldmaidens.
Considering the unit wore bright red, it is surprising the number of enemies whose last sight wasn't of a group of people in red coming out of the forest to kill them. Ceratinly a large number of foes fell at their swords.
Several members of the Red Dragons fell, and others returned home to their Families. None now remain as adventurers in Ithron
The group also brought the game of Pushy Shovey to the land of Ithron
Members included:
Skeld Van Halabusch-Leader of the Group and devoted of Crowa. Skeld once wrestled a troll to the ground in a game of 'pushy shovey'. Skeld became the Champion of the Duchess DeVille and killed the former axirian black knight Sir Titus Aurelius who had power of the Duchess but had become a tyrant and wished to rule the Duchy. Fell in the battle of Fort DeVille in the Undead War of Fernham
Valsung "The Wise" Greyhook, Defender of the faith of Crowa who returned to his wife to raise their baby daughter.
Jurgan Olafson Reached the rank of Guildmaster Physician and was a follower of Rolbor. Responsible for "boom beer".
Ymir Gunnerson-Devoted of Crowa. The quietest member but a master of weapons and prone to long walks in the woods.
Lars Van Halabusch-Devoted of Crowa. Lars was a master of Pushy shovey. Lars was next in line to the throne of the tribes when Skeld was slain.
Eric Va Bater-A young hunter, Eric was slain by the Red Dragons sworn enemy, the Black Dragons.
The Red Dragons accepted two Ithronians into their group.
William "Cookie" Smith-A scout from Brisel who was their cook and master of various weapons such as bows that the followers of Crowa did not use. Cookie was also the best at Cooking (suprisingly).
Elin-The adopted daughter of Burt Bacharach, an elderly physician from Fernham, the Red Dragons saw promise in the young girl and adopted her as their bloodsister. Elin worshipped Tralda and was in many ways the 'heart' of the group, giving the others strength in hope and joy when the fighting was too much.
The Red Dragons were made 'Jarls' (tribal leaders) in llaminusu when they defeated their sworn enemies 'The Black Dragons'. Jurgan became the leader of the tribes after the death of Lars at the hands of a demon in Mordenhead.
