Slyrak (known as the Crimson Devil to Kaden, also known as the Father of Fire) is the element of fire, the spirit and the sum of all ember dragons, and one of the eight Pillars of Creation, exclusive to the series of Dota: Dragon's Blood.

The Thunder
All Dragons from the eight cosmic Eldwurms themselves to their flesh illusions, are one. They may have distinctions between each other such as their unique identity, but the lines that differentiate themselves from each other are a bit fuzzy because they all have something in common. Just like how all dragons in the physical realm are merely pieces of the whole that are their respective elemental or fundamental Eldwurms, the Pillars are merely parts that form a greater whole—an all-encompassing entity known as the Worldwyrm.

When the current ember eldwurm that has Slyrak's soul sleeps, he enters his dream roost with the other Pillars of Creation who may be asleep like he is. In this dream, he sings together with the rest of the Thunder, an expression of themselves to each other through speech and music. All dragons and their cousins—ranging from their flesh illusions, to the Eldwurms—hear this song in their sleep.

Lesser dragons can recognize flesh illusions that are vessels of an Eldwurm soul. For example, a bunch of air wyrmlings sensed Slyrak within Davion, causing them to flee from his ire.

Ember Dragons
only slyrak self-aware, while ember dragons are just parts of his embodiment. Like fingers of a human body, ember dragons are not aware of themselves as a finger is not aware of itself. Only the creature that the finger belongs to is aware of itself, including said finger that belongs to it.

Hierarchy
Gods and goddesses, Divinities, Deities, whatever one may call them, are very powerful in their own right. But even gods are subordinate to the pillars of creation, at least according to the Ember Eldwurm Slyrak who is one of these pillars. This should make sense seeing how the Eldwurms support the existence of the domains of both gods and demons.

Transcendent though they may be, the only power that they look up to is the Worldwyrm.

Consciousness, the dragon song, and whatnot
Indrak and the Thunder tapped into Davion's memories. Slyrak wasn't there when that happened, but he should be able to do that as a fellow Eldwurm

Elemental and miscellaneous powers
fight fire with fire doesn't apply to this guy purifying flames emit fiery explosion or firenado. emanate heat from body that's hot enough to melt tons of rock, used it to burrow his way to Uldorak near Barrowhaven hot bites

regeneration potent enough to heal Davion from being run through with a sword, seems that it can be stopped by ionic dragon power. much weaker in his own form since it didn't heal him from a similar but lesser injury inflicted by a possessed and corrupted Uldorak. Father assumes that Slyrak's blood can regenerate limbs and even revive the dead, cured the chronic atrophy and paralysis on his left hand, implying healing properties

can sense the very quality of divinity through smell

seems to be immune to foulfell

Description
Judging by the name, the knights of this order are characterized by scales, dragon scale in particular when one considers the context surrounding the few mentions of this knighthood. One of the order's renowned members, Sir Davion, wears a suit of dragon-armor and wields a dragon-scale shield that are both made from Slyrak himself, implying that his fellow knights also wear suits of armor made from a dragon's scales and carry dragon-forged equipment just like him. This is why they're called the "scaled knights" which is a fancier word for a dragon knight. It's currently unknown who or what this "Uthorian" entity is.

To the right is Thesos' drawing of a broken shield that he found in a young dragon's insides. Once he pieced it together, Thesos recognized this shield and the Dragon crest that is emblazoned on it: a knight's shield with the seal of the Scaled Knights of Uthorian. The shield resembles the one that Sir Davion wields by default which he states is the dragon scale shield of Slyrak. Since the shield of Slyrak looks like this sundered shield, the dragon's crest of the Scaled Knights of Uthorian might be depicting Slyrak himself, thus they are represented by Slyrak.

Contradicting this is the appearance of the same dragon crest (albeit in a lighter color of red) in another shield that Davion carried to battle against Time-Dragon Uldorak long before he had the shield of Slyrak. This implies that the dragon symbol does not depict Slyrak so much as a generic dragon crest. Although it's possible that the crimson version of this crest on the shield of Slyrak is unique to said shield only (and it still depicts Slyrak) in order to differentiate it from other shields or objects of the order that also bear this seal. Their dragon crest is also displayed on their banners, such as the ones in Davion's camp to the left picture. Aside from these banners, they also have a recurring dragon's motif in their property, such as the dragon head bow on Davion's wooden boat. The recurring dragon motif possibly symbolizes the order's dedication to their dragon-based occupation.

According to Thesos, this ancient knight's order can be seen (albeit rarely) around the lands owned by Thesos' father in the present age. Their presence was indicated by a broken shield of Uthorian that he found in the guts of a dead young dragon. The business that they have in those lands are unknown, but the unknown knight who owned that shield may have been there to hunt the local dragons in the area.

According to the, "dragon knights" never charge for their services. It's unknown if "dragon knights" still refers to the Scaled Knights of Uthorian, since they're never mentioned again (or at least never mentioned by that name) outside of the Archronicus, or if it refers to the Dragon Knights of the Dragon's Blood series.

Training
A dragon knight can only be successful in battle against dragons if they have mastered themselves. Only then can they achieve mastery against dragons as well.

To a dragon knight, mastery of the self includes valor, strong faith in one's abilities, and a sharp mind even during the chaos of battle.

Between their sword and shield, the latter is more important because dragons always strike first, which is almost a guaranteed death. Those who follow this boast few scars.

Honor
Like most knighthoods, the aspect of honor is a trademark among the Scaled Knights of Uthorian. Knights are expected to fight and die with their honor intact.

Members
Little is known about the structure and hierarchy (assuming they have one) of the Scaled Knights of Uthorian. Not even their head count is known, save for one member of this order.

Knights
Davion the is heavily implied to be a knight of the Scaled Knights of Uthorian. As shown in the pictures above, the shield of Slyrak and the banners of his camp bear the seal of this order. So far, he is the only known member of this knighthood.

Dragons
It seems that the occupation of the Scaled Knights of Uthorian revolves entirely around slaying Dragons. It's unknown if they do this because they are ill-disposed to dragons, for mere pest control, or some mysterious esoteric reason.

Despite their jobs revolving around killing dragons, these Knights show respect for their foes and honor them. Based on Davion's meeting with Slyrak before their fusion, a knight from this order gains no honor in committing dragon-murder, especially against the weak and defenseless. It's implied that dragon-murder is when a dragon is slain without a prior fight. As such, some Dragons are exempted from being slain by their hand, such as the sick, the old, and the weak. However, there are some exceptions, such as mercy killing. As Davion says, he has slain dragons who are less deserving of Death. One such example was the old and weak Slyrak, who pleaded Davion to end his suffering and honor him with death in combat. Even though this was just a deception made by the sly Eldwurm, the fact that Davion unwittingly agreed to doing it proves this custom.

Dragons who are slain by these knights during battle are posthumously honored via forging their remains into battle equipment. Dragon-forged stuff are marks of distinction for the knight who earned it.

A dragon knight exercises great caution versus dragons during battle. Successful dragon knights bear a few scars: a testament to their survival and elusiveness against Dragons. Those who get hit rarely live long.
