I never said dragoons weren't widely known, I simply said that I believed, based on the lore present in the game, that you are over-blowing their importance in Ishgardian society while undervaluing the extremely prestigious role of the Temple Knights.
Maybe they're both equally important.
The Temple Knights are a direct guardian of the Holy See, a prestigious position indeed! On the other you have the Dragoons, Ishgard's best line of defense in dealing with the Dravarian threat, a sign of Ishgardian might in the face of the worst adversity. Both are important in their own ways - one protects the leader of their people, the other protects the people themselves from threats.
... Kinda like the Sultansworn and Free Paladins, oddly enough. Maybe all the Temple Knights are Dragoons in ceremonial armor instead of the trademark 'goonsuit!
