The Chosen of Astilabor

The Chose of Astilabor were an organisation of Dragonborn, dedicated to the dragongoddess Astilabor. They sought to conquer Umbara's Peaks, with the goal of finding a cure for the disease Scaleblight and returning the Dragonborn to their former glory.

Governance
The chosen were lead by The Herald of Astilabor, a black dragon famed as a hero for her success conquering the Dwarven forces of Umbara's Peaks.

History
After the Dragonborn retreated from the flood to their mountain homelands, they brought back with Scaleblight. Holed up in their fortresses, Scaleblight ran rampant. For a long time, the Dragonborn remained holed up as their power wained and their hopes faded.

Finding no cure, some turned to prayer. One particular movement gained influence - followers of Astilabor preached that the cure lay out there in the world for the taking. The followers of Astilabor saw clearly that by expanding and taking land and wealth for themselves - whilst they still had some power remaining - a cure might yet be found.

As the movement grew, it was formalised into an organisation known as the Chosen of Astilabor.

Astilabor
Astilabor (pronounced As-TIL-uh-bore)  the neutral dragongoddess of acquisitiveness and wealth. She represented the draconic desire to acquire and treasure wealth and by doing so gain status, and so she was, in a way, the archetype of dragonkind.

Astilabor was revered by dragons of all kinds but actively worshipped by few. She was also worshipped by draconic humanoids and by those who sought to increase their wealth. However, even those dragons that only paid lip service to her engraved her holy symbol on their hoards as a protective ward
