Group Profile: Golden C / Blood Dragons Notable Personnel: All but remnants of history, all those I'd call worth mentioning have long retired, died or joined the Order Additional Notes: The Flowers still believe in the misguided and manipulated versions of the 'Golden Chrysanthemum in Bloom' and have radicalized considerably in recent decades. Their dependency on the Outcasts keeps growing and their actions are little more than entertainment to the Outcasts at this point. All ambitions shown by some Flowers during the Republic era to push for more moderate and realistic goals have been silenced. The Blood Dragons became nearly indistinguishable from the Flowers in terms of aimless attacks on civilians. They lost their previous way, it comes as a surprise that the Order has not yet discarded them. Too valuable as eyes in Kusari, is my guess. Maybe the Order can make use of an alternative? As of 836, the Dragons seem to be suffering from internal feuds. Following the terrorist attack on a shrine, I am starting to worry that they're too far gone and will only understand the language of the blade. Abusing religious extremism infighting for their agenda is one thing, despicable as it may be, but slaughtering civilians and aiming for children has never been the Dragons way of operating. Intended long-term plan: Weaken them through policies, through real change, slow as it may be. We do well and unlike with their path, there is no need to kill small children in order to achieve it.
