The Pendleberry Archive Seeks New Dragon Naturalists

Complete the Dragon Assignment Questionnaire to discover your Order and enter the Registry of Pendleberry Dragon Naturalists.

Begin the Questionnaire

For centuries, the Pendleberry Archive has served as the foremost centre for the study and protection of dragons throughout the Five Kingdoms. Its Dragon Naturalists journey across the realm caring for injured dragons, documenting newly discovered species, safeguarding nesting grounds, investigating unusual sightings, and preserving the delicate relationship between dragons and the people who live alongside them.

No two Dragon Naturalists approach this calling in quite the same way. Some are known for kindness, others for courage, unwavering loyalty, relentless curiosity, or thoughtful wisdom. Dragons recognise these differences instinctively.

For this reason, every Dragon Naturalist belongs to one of five ancient Orders, each named in honour of a legendary dragon whose nature continues to guide the Archive today. Each Order is entrusted with its own resident dragons, and over countless generations those dragons have formed enduring bonds with the Naturalists of their Order, drawn to the particular qualities they share.

The Five Dragon Orders

Every Dragon Naturalist belongs to one of five ancient Orders. While all serve the Archive with equal distinction, each follows a different tradition of dragon stewardship.

The Order of Elderwood

Kindness, patience and compassion

Elderwood believes that trust is earned through kindness. Its Naturalists build lasting bonds with dragons through patience, gentle care, and understanding.

The Order of Cinderyn

Courage, resolve and protection

Cinderyn believes that courage is measured by the willingness to act. Its Naturalists are brave, decisive, and ready to stand between danger and those who depend upon them.

The Order of Aetheron

Curiosity, discovery and wonder

Aetheron believes that the world will always be larger than any map. Its Naturalists venture beyond familiar paths, seeking new species, unseen places, and discoveries that expand the Archive’s understanding.

The Order of Merovar

Wisdom, insight and scholarship

Merovar believes that understanding is a lifelong pursuit. Its Naturalists study tirelessly, question deeply, and delight in uncovering the truths hidden within the natural world.

The Order of Noctis

Loyalty, vigilance and guardianship

Noctis believes that loyalty means remaining when others have gone. Guarded by nature, its Naturalists keep watch through the quietest hours and protect with unwavering devotion those entrusted to their care.

Discover Your Dragon Order

Every prospective Dragon Naturalist is invited to complete the Dragon Assignment Questionnaire.

The questions that follow are drawn from situations commonly encountered by Dragon Naturalists in the field. There are no correct or incorrect answers. Simply choose the responses that feel most natural to you.

Once your questionnaire has been submitted, your application will be entered into the Registry. Your Dragon Order result and further Archive correspondence will be sent to the email address you provide.

We wish you every success in your application.

1. You arrive at the Archive before sunrise. The grounds are still and unusually silent. How do you begin your morning?
2. A young dragon refuses to leave its shelter despite showing signs of illness. What do you do first?
3. Another Keeper has made a serious mistake. What is your first instinct?
4. Which discovery would excite you most?
5. Which compliment would mean the most to you?
6. You have one free afternoon. How do you spend it?
The final entry
