Are there any damsel in distress in Astlan? I never heard any in the book.
Oh! If dragons are demons too, could they do magic like how Exador and Ramses and Tom does? Are there Wizard and Animage dragons out there?
Also are there dragons that don’t hate non dragons?
As for Knight Rampant and Paladin, it might be a title thing. If you ask me, the rampant part indicates a very active and unrestrained connotation. Maybe it is given to the knights who acts a lot, constantly dealing (and killing) with the ‘evil’ of the world, not like the other knights who are often just knights in name only. I could see though that Paladins are of quite similar nature though I see Paladins as somewhat helpful and protective in nature which our Knight Rampant doesn’t seem to be. So Knight Rampant are more like berserkers and Paladins are more like romanticized (ideal) hero.
Well, that is my take of this issue.
