Dragon Banner

Lore & Background

The banner's power lies not in magic itself, but in what it represents: the breaking of the Trolloc armies' morale and the restoration of order. When raised, it signals the arrival of the Dragon Reborn or his trusted lieutenants, often causing a surge of courage among allies and confusion among enemies. It has been carried through the chaos of the Field of Merrilor and into the heart of Shayol Ghul, standing as a beacon that the Prophecies of the Dragon are being fulfilled.

In Their Own Story

The wind howled across the Field of Merrilor, carrying the scent of ash and ozone. Rand commanded from the ridge as below, a sea of Trollocs surged forward like a dark tide. The great white silk snapped in the gale, its golden dragon head seeming to stare blindly into the coming storm. As the first arrow flew, the army's silence shattered into a roar that shook the ground. The Eyeless Dragon rose above them all, a promise that the Long Night was finally ending.

Carried by a standard-bearer selected for unshakeable loyalty and courage, often flanked by elite guards to prevent capture or destruction. It is raised at critical junctures to signal charges, anchor defensive lines, or confirm the Dragon Reborn's presence on the field. During the Last Battle, it functioned as a tactical beacon in the chaos of Tarmon Gai'don; no matter how scattered the allied armies became, they could always regroup by finding its white silk against the smoke.
