Awesome info so far really appreciate it! Just wanted to clarify a few things about special forces as a whole and that's they are classed as elite units, not all they do is very secretive either, SAS members say SAS stands for Speed Agression and Surprise, these element were used for a couple of operations such as Operation Nimrod (Iranian Embassey Siege) and Operation  Barras.
 
The Police gave the Military control over Nimrod at 19:07 and the SAS attack at 19:23, using breaching charges to suprise the enemy along with gas and flashbangs, they basically manhandled all hostages and took out 5 of the 6 terrorists, the raid lasted only 17 minutes, with OpBarras they flew in to the middle of an enemy compound using Chinooks and fast roped in. DEVGRU (ST6) also somewhat follow the model of speed and aggression, even 1st SFOD-D (Delta), Americas most secretive unit follows these rules on some occasions, Marines and Rangers are also conidered special forces by the US Military. 

A special force is a group that undertakes special operations, covert and overt ops, Dragoons as clarified by Franz, being a unit specifically trained to kill dragons would be considered as a type of elite or special force by todays standard, by what I know of Bloodsworn with the information by Erik and Kale, the leves asking you to hunt certain people, I can assume they take on missions like this themselves, an operation that is given to an elite unit because maybe the leader at the time feels the regular people can't do it, could be classed as a special operation, making the force by default a special force based on todays definition. Liking the disscusion on the thread, sorry I haven't replyed for a bit, just been taking in all the info. Also it's fine if it goes a little off-topic, it could open up new thread ideas for other people.

Without gripping the sword, I cannot protect you. While gripping the sword, I cannot embrace you.
