Edit; just been and read a few books that I had stashed up in the tower. One said the dragon knights were mostly good, just and fair but there were some that were tyrants. I guess you play as the latter in this game. As for the setting the books just say after the dragon knights were formed they ruled for centuries and more until the great betrayal and formation of the dragon slayers around 50 years before Divinity 2.
Dragon Commander allows you to be a good ruler or a tyrant. The description states so remember?
