Duranoc (? - ?) was a male copper dragon who was the leader of his clan that resided in The Conquered Lands province of the Imperial League. He is recognized as the first dragon who bonded with a humanoid, and formed the first partnership of the Dragon Knights with Torloch Half-Elven. In the early part of the Age of Despair, Duranoc's lair was discovered by Torloch, and he told the half-elf that he must stay in his lair to keep the location a secret. The half-elf complied and over a period of time, the two became friends. After a year together, Duranoc already trusted Torloch implicitly and told him he was free to leave. Instead, Torloch refused and instead chose to continue living with Duranoc. Others eventually came to live with the dragons as well, and Torloch and Duranoc's example gave birth to the knighthood.
