The Ashen Drakes are a part of the 21st "Cursed" Founding. They proclaim to be scions of Vulkan and thrive to be worthy of his heritage. While they hail from a Founding plagued by genetic deviancy and ill-luck, the Ashen Drakes have, so far, exhibited neither of those traits. However, their reputation remains that of a Cursed Chapter, which has make them more isolationists than other (alleged) Sons of Vulkan, for other Astartes shun them and the Inquisition is ever vigilant. They are still one of the most humane Chapter in existence, living among their people and helping all they can, but they know that only the most desperate of Imperial Commander will call for their help.
