Thank you Sounssy for the quick response, I had forgotten that the trials were unofficial. Great work as always, you go above and beyond the call with the fantastically detailed quotes I am always too tired to go after.
To answer a question that was raised earlier, and to corroborate with an earlier post
As of the end of the Dragonsong war, there are only TEN dragoons in active duty.
They never say WHY there are ten (did everyone else die? Retire? No one knows).
Orrin, my character as a Dragoon, got "promoted" he's now a banneret in the templar knights proper due to his merit as a tactician in the war. Effectively removing him from active combat.
MAJOR SPECULATION AHEAD, HEAD CANON AND GRAIN OF SALT
The Lore Book does not state however for how long that number remains at 10, there are implications that the book was written many years after the fact (what with statements of "Would later on be cherished as a historical wonder" and what not, especially in reference to Edgemont de Fortemps' heavensward book)
But it does say /after/ the war ended. the possibility of NEW dragoons is possible but unlikely (why train more dragon killers when you are now friends with dragons? And have war with garlemald) but it may be possible for distinct changes in stormblood. Something I am awaiting ravenously.
