One of the most ancient roles of Orlanth was to slay the dragons that threatened his people. He slew many dragons. The first of these was Sh’hakarzeel, whose body formed Dragon Pass, but many others followed. He slew Aroka and freed Heler to end the droughts. He broke Fenman the Coral Dragon when it devoured the land. He slew Drathdaw the Stone Dragon when it tried to mate with Kero Fin, his mother.



Since the Dawn, the cult has always had a small but important place, especially among those Orlanthi living around Dragon Pass. The cult led the Traditionalists in their fight against the nascent EWF but were scorched and seared by them. Survivors fled to Ralios, where prophecies spoke of a coming Dragonbreaker who would cleanse the world of the EWF.
