Origins of the Order
Milo Obilic, a
Serbian
knight, had created the secret
order of the
Dragon of
Saint George. His shield
represented the sun with twelve rays and there were twelve knights, himself
included, belonging to this order. As a distinctive sign, they wore a dragon on
their helmet. The aim of the order was the death of the
Ottoman
Sultan
Murad I.
On
June 15,
1389, at the
Battle of Kosovo, Milo made his
way into the Ottoman camp on the pretext of being a deserter, forced his way
into the Sultan's tent and stabbed him to death. Obilic was later executed
together with all other Serbian prisoners by Murad's son,
Beyazid I.
Only one of the
twelve knights of the Dragon survived. He later became a trainer of Serbian
prince -
Despot
Stefan Lazarevic.
Lazarevic was the son and heir to
Lazar, the Serbian prince who
died at the Battle of Kosovo. He was also the first
European-style knight in Serbia.
Stefan became a vassal of Hungary and a knight of a special order, so when
Sigismund created the Order, Stefan was the first on the list of members.
The Modern Order - Ordo Draconi
Ordo Draconi is a People First Guild that is
comprised of Knights of Integrity and Honor. We value Loyalty, Trust, and the
Chivalric Attributes. It is our goal to make Cenarion Circle a better place and
to practice our arts to the best of our abilities-never sacrificing the human
element to achieve our goals and objectives. We work together as a team to
level, raid, perform quests, and engage instances. We do not pressure members to
participate in all functions but we encourage open communication and the
formation of many friendships. We hold Order Gatherings monthly and we have a
secret guild meeting location-Insula of Extraho.
