==History==
Dragon's End is a volcanic planet, once occupied by flying drakes and huge megasaurs[[megasaur]]s. However, the planet was later settled by [[human ]] colonists, who also introduced [[Terra]]n horses [[horse]]s to the planet's valleys. These colonists formed the basis of the [[Knight]] [[House Griffith]], soon becoming deft cavalry troopers, armoured in plate made of the planet's obsidian. These mounted nobles hunted the herds of megasaurs, drawing the attention of the dragons which preyed upon these creatures. The colonists raced to complete the construction of their Knight suits, battling dragons on horseback in the interim. During this time, one warrior named [[Nathaniel Griffith|Nathaniel]] killed three of the creatures with a lance fashioned from dragon bone, his exploits leading to his inauguration as House Griffith's first ruler. Upon the completion of the Knight suits, the war turned decisively in the humans' favour, and even long after the extinction of Dragon's End's drakes, the Knights of House Griffith are renowned as fierce and capable warriors.{{Fn|1b}} Early in [[M42]], it suffered an attack by the [[Necron]] [[Novokh Dynasty]] in the [[Wars of Steel]].{{Fn|4}}
