Dragon-Blooded Integrity

Thematics: The Elemental Dragon of Earth sleeps now, but even in quiet repose he forms the solid bedrock of order and stability which the rest of Creation relies and depends upon so heavily. Unlike the rest of the Elements, Earth has never been touched by the corrosive influence of the Wyld, and the Imperial Mountain that rests at Creation's Center is as quiet and unyielding as the Dragon that sleeps under it. The Dragon-Blooded share only some of the patience and wisdom of Pasiap, but that is more than enough to make them far more than any mortal.

When awake, there is no more fierce a defender of his brothers than Pasiap and no force known to Creation could turn him against the bonds of shared blood. The children of Pasiap's Blood share some shadow of that legendary loyalty. With this charm, a Dragon-Blood can instantly dedicate herself to a new Intimacy, though the target of this Intimacy must be another Dragon-Blooded. The intimacy itself can be a Friend, Leader, or Idol type and there need be no pre-existing connection between the two Terrestrial Exalted. Merely the fact that they both share the blood of the Elemental Dragons serves a source of strength. This is a real intimacy in every possible way, with all the benefits and drawbacks thereof. It lasts for a full day, after which the Dragon-Blooded can either let the connection fade away or spend Willpower equal to the Strength of the Intimacy (usually 2) in order to retain it.

A second purchase of this charm allows the Dragon-Blooded to form a Homeland or Devotion Intimacy with a large group of Dragon-Blooded or an institution that is led directly by multiple Terrestrial Exalted. These intimacies can spill over to include loyalty to mortals who support and belong to such institutions, but the group itself must be "part of the Dragon-Blooded Host" at least in Spirit. This charm enhanced loyalty errs on the side of the Dragon-Blooded in all ways, however, even if an actual holder of such an intimacy might not think such.
