I'm just of the opinion that if they're that racist restricted on who can be a lowly Temple Guard, then they're more likely to be more racist on who is allowed to be one of the legendary, widely-known icons of Ishgard as a nation.I think you're attributing a fair bit more celebrity to dragoons than the lore actually displays them having. As far as I can tell, Ishgard is more famous for its chocobos than its dragoons.
What's more, I actually get the impression that the Temple Knights are the more prestigious of the two groups. Where the dragoons are a highly specialized and skilled military division, the Temple Knights appear to be Sultansworn equivalents in a nation where the singular high authority (the Archbishop) wields absolute power (rather than the marginalized power of the Sultana).
Uh...?
Game Description Wrote:“Of all the things that are symbolic of the nation of Ishgard, few are more recognized than the dragoon. Born amidst the timeless conflict between men and dragons, these lance-wielding knights have developed an aerial style of combat, that they might better pierce the scaled hides of their mortal foes.
Taking to the firmament as though it were an extension of the land, they descend upon the enemy with every onze of their bodies behind the blow. It is this penetrative power that characterizes the dragoon.â€

It says as much right here.
