Talk:Cult of the Dragon

Okay, I've finished covering the Cult of the Dragon, as best as I can. I tried to give a good overview in each edition without delving too much deeper into the bigger sources, especially Cult of the Dragon and the Tyranny of Dragons adventures, as well as across most other sources and their more particular appearances.

For future development / breaking it up into more manageable chunks, I suggest the following to future editors:
 * Splitting off separate cells by location and/or leadership to subpages, as I started with Cult of the Dragon/Glarondan cell. The CotD cells are autonomous and varied enough that they can be handled separately, and while some trifling, others are much more detailed and significant organizations in their own right (the prominent Sembian cell, for example). The actions of individual cells and their members in each source can go on those pages, if they don't add anything to the organization as a whole.
 * Depending on how the CotD are presented in future sources, with Hoard of the Dragon Queen, The Rise of Tiamat, and Fizban's Treasury of Dragons presenting a significant difference in belief, a split could be in order, with one page for Sammaster's original-flavoured CotD focused on dracoliches and another for Severin's reformed CotD focused on live dragons and Tiamat. Of course, schisms are par for the course in the Cult of the Dragon. If it's phased out, Severin's CotD might even be handled as a particularly large cell of the late 1400s Sword Coast.

There is also a history of the Cult of the Dragon page that could be revised to be less of a timeline.

Anyway, that's as much as I can do for now, though I may work around the edges on related topics and on more separate cell pages. ~ BadCatMan (talk) 09:25, 24 February 2023 (UTC)
