"The rarest rule"
Thornbound
Who Are the Thornbound?
The Thornbound are the quiet architects of power within the Dragon Hunter Guild. Where others chase dragons in the wild, the Thornbound secure them through influence, exchange, and design. They do not stumble into greatness—they acquire it.
They understand that rarity is not just a matter of luck. It is a lever, a symbol, and a weapon. The Thornbound read every shift in the Guild, follow every whisper, and always move with purpose. They play the long game.
To them, dragons are not prizes. They are investments, bargaining chips, and keys to deeper vaults of knowledge. If the Lorewardens are the archive and the Embercallers the flame, the Thornbound are the hand that moves the pieces.
Dressing the Part: The Discreet Statement of the Thornbound
Thornbound hunters take great care to avoid attention. They move through the world with quiet confidence, blending into city crowds, markets, or historical gatherings. Their style is deliberate but never extravagant. Every choice has a purpose.
Green is their colour. It may appear as a silk pocket square, a gemstone ring, a coin-shaped lapel pin, or a subtle lining on a tailored coat. Always refined. Always intentional.
They carry weighted notebooks, gold-touched pens. Their presence feels rehearsed, efficient, and composed.
To outsiders, they look like professionals, collectors, or consultants. To another Thornbound, a flash of green or the turn of a familiar coin signals more than mere style—it confirms allegiance.
The Signal of the Coin
For the Thornbound, silence is golden. In the marketplace, in the ruins, even in the shadows of the Guild, one signal marks their presence: a coin. Flashed between fingers, placed on a ledge, turned three times in the palm.
It is not payment. It is proof. The mark of one who knows the rules of the deeper game.
