Can anyone think of the significance of 11 in forgotten realms?

Is the dragon knight just going to be dragonborn or is there a full dragon that could be a knight?

I suspect that it's a DnD spell rather than a FR-specific thing. Perhaps Finger of Death (as we already have Power Word Kill).


Wel, we've seen now that the Dragonborn are typed Dragon.

So we now have Tiefling, Halfling, and I think Gnome as confirmed new individual creature types. Also Bird Bear has to be an Owlbear

There've been mentioned cards that represent the different classes, so it's probably that. Like a Barbarian Class card with the Class subtype.

Seems like you were right.
