Greetings, Commanders!

Today’s update is all about The Commander, the hero of The Dragoness: Command of the Flame, and the character that you’ll be controlling during your adventures across the Drairthir Peninsula.

The calamitous civil war fought between the Regal Dragons and the Shai-Va brought an end to the long period of peace and prosperity, and the Dragoness, despite claiming a narrow victory, lost many close allies during the conflict.

In the aftermath, riots and insurrection spread amongst the surviving factions, bringing chaos to an already shattered realm. In response to a petition made by the Dragoness, the powerful Elvish Empire dispatched you, the Commander, to quell the uprising and restore peace to the kingdom.

Hailing from a noble house, the Commander is one of the Elves’ finest warriors and leading tacticians. As the appointed leader of the Dragoness’ forces, it is up to you to reclaim the capital city of Voven-Sal and defeat the forces that are threatening the kingdom.

Accompanying you on your mission is one of the Dragoness’ close advisors, Natiq the Battle Pangolin. Natiq dreams of one day ascending to become a dragon himself, boasting that pangolins are in fact distant cousins of dragons…or so he believes.

Regal Reincarnation

Unfortunately, it seems that victory over the Shai-Va may have been gravely exaggerated as upon arriving in the Drairthir Peninsula you are unceremoniously slain by one of their kin. When brought before the Dragoness it is revealed that a strange magic has separated your soul from your corporeal body…

Thankfully, the Dragoness has the power to restore your physical form, if only for a short while, with the assistance of revival spells and Níwenborh's Magical Amplifier.

Before heading out on one of the Dragoness’s quests, players will be able to choose from several revival spell loadouts, each with a separate Skill, Talent, set of Turn Bonuses, and starting Resources.

Levelling Up

Once a revival spell has been selected and you have chosen your army’s starting units, you’ll be ready to head out on a quest. During a quest, you’ll discover many ways of earning experience points and levelling up the Commander!
