For a list of all draconians, see list of draconians.

Protected by both its thick scales and its skill in use of weapons and armour, this draconian is a dangerous opponent. It complements its abilities in combat with powerful magic.

...It wields a deadly weapon with menacing efficiency.

Useful Info

Draconian knights are similar to deep elf knights, but with more dangerous spells. They are lightly armored fighters who wield heavy weaponry and occasionally shields, supplemented with the ability to cast powerful Conjurations.

Tips & Tricks

  • In spite of the flavour text, draconian knights are neither especially competent with their weapons or armoured beyond the usual draconian cloak. Their spells, however, are potent enough to be a concern (though less so than any of the pure draconian casters). The difficulty of this foe depends mainly on its breath weapon (determined by its colour) and its randomly-selected spell set.
