Dragons Ire
Once upon a time, so the stories go, a brave sidhe knight slew a dragon and ate its smoking heart. Or perhaps a king of the fae outwitted the dragon, and the great wyrm pledged its power to Arcadia. Or perhaps a great beauty seduced the dragon with honeyed words and dreams of passion. the stories vary, as is the way of the Dreaming, but the point is always the same - long ago a great hero secured a mighty power of war and ferocity and placed it at the disposal of the fae, should they possess the valor and fortitude to bend it to their will.
Dragon's Ire is a mighty Art of battle and conflict, and has been rare among the fae throughout the long centuries of the interregnum. Its use experienced a great revival with the return of the Arcadian sidhe, whose noble knights never flagged in their attempts to master this challenging and potent sorcery. Many sidhe consider Dragon's Ire a proprietary Art which can only be properly mastered by a noble warrior of unstinting dedication, but in truth it also sees some practice among the commoner kiths - most frequently redcaps and trolls. To the (often fatal) surprise of many, this Art is also popular among nockers, who delight in infusing its strength into weapons of their own design.
Unleashing Dragon's Ire
Dragon's Ire Unleashings are fairly straightforward - usually "protect us" or "destroy them" - and always express themselves as vibrant displays of unbound Glamour, often taking the form of walls of flame, burning auras that bestow titanic strength, rains of golden fire from teh sky, or even brief manifestation of an actual chimerical dragon.
