Some faiths hold that dragons are destined to rule the world, but the Cult of the Dragon takes such beliefs to an extreme: Only undead dragons are truly immortal and deserve that role. The cult helps fate along by inf luencing dragons to become dracoliches, which the cult refers to as Sacred Ones. Cultists idolize dragons as nearly divine, and more than a few dragons take up the cult’s offer of immortality.

Highly secretive, the Cult of the Dragon maintains a loosely connected web of autonomous cells. Its beliefs and methods are frowned upon in most civilized areas. Therefore, the cult commonly uses fronts and dupes to divert attention from its real goals.
