The Draconic Redeemers was a rogue faction of Kragnux followers located in Pteris. Although founded by a group of devout worshippers, the Redeemers were infiltrated in the early 700s PR by a religious cult known as the Cult of the Dragon.

In 719, the largest Kragnux church in the realm, the Friends of Kragnux, began a war on the Draconic Redeemers. The latest commandment to be passed included the systematic genocide of the Dragonborn race and other draconic kind. This caused high tensions with the Redeemers, whose clergy included a considerable amount of Draconic races.
Pope Xoniface first attempted to bridge a peace between the churches, offering the Redeemers the Feet of Kragnux. In exchange, the Redeemers were to deliver their draconic members to Zobeck for trial (and later execution). The Redeemers refused to follow this order, and their arch bishop, Skelya, requested a private meeting with the Pope on Pteris soil.
In private meeting, Skelya revealed she wished to be rid of the dragonborn as well, and she swiftly seduced the Pope into taking her as a wife.
By 745 PR, the Redeemers' churches and places of worship had been destroyed. The Feet of Kragnux were reclaimed by the Friends of Kragnux. Survivors of these religious skirmishes were given the option to join the Friends of Kragnux and relocate to Zobeck. However, many of the Redeemers opted to disperse across Pteris into private prayer, abandoning their organized chapter.
