1. Jormungand and the spiritual leader of the Dragonbound, Rasputinerk
The members of the Dragonbound in Sarpan and Tiamaranta worshipped Dragon Lord Tiamat.
The members of the Dragonbound in North Katalam and South Katalam do not worship the Dragon Lord Tiamat, but instead honour a god named "Jormungand".
The statue of this "Jormungand" looks like a giant Crynac. The members of the Dragonbound who believe in Jormungand live in groups in each area of Katalam.
The members of the Dragonbound perform a number of tasks.
1. Jormungand and the spiritual leader of the Dragonbound, Rasputinerk
Brainwashing
The Dragonbound, which observes the practices of the Jormungand cult, uses the same methods of spiritual coercion as the Dragonbound under Tiamat in Sarpan and Tiamaranta.
Many Reian who came to Katalam have been subjected to such brainwashing by the local Dragonbound.
Gathering Id
The Dragonbound, which observes the practices of the Jormungand cult, is gathering Id in the north and the south.
It was initially assumed that the Dragonbound worshipped Id as something sacred. However, from information garnered from the Shugos it quickly became clear that the Dragonbound is collecting the Id for the Beritra Army.

Activities to assist the Beritra Army
The Jormungand Dragonbound very actively supports the Beritra Army.
Most of this cult's priests seem to have a connection to the Beritra Army.
Athurinerk, in his capacity as the spiritual leader of the Shugo, heads the Dragonbound in South Katalam. He is in close contact with the Beritra Army, which is surprising, as he is a Shugo and not a member of the Reian tribe.
Those members of the Jormungand Dragonbound are our enemies, and must be eliminated.
2. The discovery of Ronej and her disappearance
Until recently the Gold Feather Legion in North Katalam and South Katalam was constantly kept busy eliminating the Jormungand Dragonbound.
The mission to rid Katalam of the Dragonbound was extremely successful.
The order to break up the Dragonbound came from the Elyos. The Elyos had already accelerated the destruction of the Dragonbound in Sarpan and Tiamaranta. They believed that capturing Katalam hinged upon this task.
Ambitious Athurinerk ruled over Jormungand's Refuge in the south of Katalam. This place was the main target of the Gold Feather Legion, which had already drawn up a plan to clear out the area.
2. The discovery of Ronej and her disappearance
Before the plan to clear out Jormungand's Refuge was executed, the Gold Feather Legion stumbled upon Ronej.
Ronej is the daughter of a high-ranking Elyos. She was quite well known in Elysea. Yet by the time the Gold Feather Legion found Ronej, she had become a follower of the Dragonbound.
The Gold Feather Legion attempted to bring Ronej back to the Elyos, but she resisted, and even tried to fight the legion.
Ronej had disappeared by the time the Gold Feather Legion began to execute its plan to break up the Dragonbound.
All members of the Gold Feather Legion tried to find Ronej, to no avail. She was not seen in North or South Katalam.
3. High Priest Portis
The Gold Feather Legion has been searching for Ronej since she vanished. High Priest Portis is also under close surveillance there.
High Priest Portis is Ronej's father.
Since he arrived in Katalam, the high priest has been rather arrogant. Yet since he came to South Katalam, he appears to have grown tentative.
He must have ordered someone to help Ronej escape. Without question, that is an act of rebellion against the priestly order of Elysea and the armed forces of the Elyos.
3. High Priest Portis
The Dragonbound must be destroyed for the safety of the Elyos. After all, the Dragonbound does maintain close ties to the Beritra Army.
High Priest Portis may not threaten the Elyos, and you should tell the Gold Feather Legion of Ronej's whereabouts.
The Gold Feather Legion asks that you escort High Priest Portis to the capital and turn command of Katalam over to Tribunus Pepe.
