Naturally, dragons do not listen to just anyone. Respect from these mighty serpents must be earnt first before they respond to a soldiers call. The members of the Blue Dragonarmy are known to have closer bonds with dragons than members of the other branches of the Dragonarmies, so soldiers of this army tend to gain the necessary respect before other soldiers.

For obvious reasons, one must be outdoors for a dragon to be able to come to your summons. Once a dragon does come to your aid, it will follow you from the skies until it tires and returns to its lair.

Do not expect to be able to call upon their help for every battle. > help dragonarmy dragonsteed Usage: summon dragonsteed Once a soldier has reached a rank of glory within the Dragonarmies, typically of Officer or higher, then the Queen of Darkness rewards her loyal follower by allowing them the honour of riding one of her children around the realms.
