Ring of Scale
This is the faction of the dragons loyal to Veeshan.

Kill the King of Kaladim 6 or 7 times, and you will go from KoS to Ally with Ring of Scale. Plus, hes a 5 minute spawn, so it can be done quickly..

So if Ring of Scale is the "good" dragon faction (dragons are neutral, Veeshan is a neutral god), how is this possible that they are opposed to bards, and that raising bard faction will lower ring of scale faction ?
And moreover how is this possible that bards, beeing the only ones who can worship Veeshan (as far as I have heard) could kill bards to raise ring of scail faction ?
It seems very strange that a bard, beeing a Veeshan worshipper, should choose between the bard faction and the Ring Of Scail faction, or we should be very cautious killing enemies that do not lower one or the other, and never do bardic quests.
Thanks

I may be wrong about this, but I believe I have an answer to your question:
Veeshan orignally deposited her dragons on Velious (as we all know). The Velious dragons' faction are Claws of Veeshan. According to Norrath lore, Jaled Dar didn't like the way the leader of CoV (Yelinack, I believe) was running things, so he gathered up some dragons and the basically revolted, leaving Velious and setting up the Ring of Scale in Kunark. If the Ring of Scale are rebels from the Claws of Veeshan (who follow Veeshan obviously), that might explain why they're KOS to worshippers of Veeshan.

The truth of it you can get from VP in Kunark. Basically, all dragons worshipped Veeshan and sought new ways to worship and improve themselves in their deity's sight. Then the humans came and the dragons had split into two opinions of them. Half said to ignore them and go back to Veeshan worship while the other half realized the weakness and easily manipulated aspects of the humans and wished to use them to serve their purposes. But, since it is a punishment worse than death for a dragon to kill a dragon, much less ordering the murder of another, the group who favored human control over Veeshan worship decided to alleviate tensions in Velious and departed for Kunark, thus becoming the Ring of Scale. No Ring of Scale dragon is KOS to a Claws of Veeshan dragon, though most wish to rip each other apart, they do not, so being ally to ROS will not make you KOS to COV and vice versa.

I believe the ring of scale are considered heretics to the CoV, which is the velious dragon faction. In one quest a dragon on CoV faction asks you if you have killed other dragons, and says something about good if you tell him yes and mentions the ring of scale being evil.

Gorenaire regards you as an ally :) Looks good, too bad I might have to kill her to complete my epic :( Mistmoore is were i got it I am guessing, spent weeks in that place, great zone! hehe love the trains and all hehe

You DEFINITELY don't get faction from snow orc troopers. I've killed about 100 and no faction either way.

I can sit and chat with Gorenaire he smiles warmly, my ROS faction is that good.

I spent 13 hours Saturday 12/23 killing Ice Giants in Everfrost for their Essences of Winter and I did not get one faction adjustment from them for those kills. I do not know if this has been removed or is bugged.

the new dragons in kunark are supposed to be ring of scale faction.
Yet they con dubiously to me they zont kill me on sight but i want good faction with them.
I tried ice giants, orcs in everfrost, gobs from permafrost, and yet i got no faction hit with ring of scale.
Is there anyway to get faction hits with ring of scale, even if it s by killing some bards?
Do we still get good faction hits with RoS in mistmoore???
Please i really need to improve that faction dubious means at first succesful raid ill get kos and wont be able to travel in the dreadlands or emerald jungle anymore (not convenient for teleports...) i heard people with wolf form already got wiped out as soon as they went through the tunnel in the dreadlands and if i get kos in normal form Ill have to take the boats (that s not funny!)

I fought in Mistmoore from level 25 to 31. Everything in Mistmoore, with the exception of Synthii and maybe a couple more will raise your ring of scale faction. I don't know what Mistmoore did to **** of the dragons, but they love it when you kill his followers.
Anonymous
To get faction with RoS you can hunt in Mistmoore. If you are getting a message like: "Your faction with blah blah got worse" and no positive faction hits, you have to let the Mistmoore folks kill you, then you can gain again. Stupid? Maybe. But so is faction in this game.

odd...the person needing faction would be a bard doing his/her epic weopon quest...and in order to do the epic weopon quest, the bard must kill a bard to get good faction with gorenaire(ring of scale) EQ politics...can't escape them

I am camping two tone, starting level 20 until i hit 26 or so, so I am hoping ill be one of the nonkos people

Ring of Scale is the faction that the mobs of Veeshan's peake are connected to. It is almost impossible to get enough faction with them to become non-KOS. This is to make veeshan's peake THAT much harder, so noone can scout ahead and time pulls. But I am still going to try to get non-KOS =P Maybe some bard (being the ONLY people able to follow veeshan) will be able to get non-KOS, doubtfull though.

Aye, I'm a bard who follows Veeshan. When I con'd an Ancient ShardWurm it glared at me threateningly, I hope it was a bug, anyhow when I get to a higher level I'll start raising my faction with Claws of Veeshan and ROS.
But I'm clueless to how Verant set this up, I'm in the works of trying to get a list from Verant with my starting faction with everybody. I don't see how I could serve my God without knowing who she likes and dislikes.
I swear my deity is too deep in the shadows. I'd appreciate any insite at guruben@excite.com

Shardwurms are not dragons, despite their similar appearance. They are not any faction whatsoever, much less any dragon faction (such as Claws of Veeshan or Ring of Scale). They are KOS to everyone, and always will be.
Safest place to check Claws of Veeshan faction is to port into Cobalt Scar and see what the drakes and wyverns con to you (even though killing them doesn't affect CoV, they will regard you the same way CoV does.)
A true follower of Veeshan shouln't be trying to raise Ring of Scale faction... they are considered rebels against the true followers of Veeshan, by the dragons in Velious. It would be more realistic for a Veeshanite bard to work on Claws of Veeshan faction instead, in my opinion.

Shardwurm? In Great divide? I think they have no faction and are always kos... when you kill them there are no faction hits...

Further puzzlement, Killing certain things in Mistmoore will increase faction with the Ring of Scale, and with Bards, while Bards have opposite faction with the Ring of Scale... While possible that all of them hate each other, it seems odd to me.

Something similiar goes on when you kill Dark Deathsinger, you get good faction with both the Ring and Mayong, while losing it with the League of Antonican Bards, the Knights of Truth and, er... oh, who was it?? Obviously no one importaNT. :) I plan on killing Dark a lot. I want good faction with the dragons cause when I bought EQ I had no idea that soling a dragon would NOT be something I could end up doing. Now I'm living the moto, if you can't beat 'em, join 'em.

I think this falls under "the enemy of my enemy is my friend." Bards and dragons might not get along all that well, but they can put that aside for a moment to feed their mutual bloodlust for Mayong and crew.

Ok, then why do i gain faction from them for killing bards? Why would "good" bards hate "good" dragons?

During the GM event in AkAnon before Kunark opened, Mayong Mistmoore tortured a Young Dragon for some information. During the discourse, it was revealed that the evil dragons Nagafen and Vox had been cast out of the "Ring of Scale" - indicating, I believe, that Ring of Scale is the faction of the "good" dragons.
Not really a good/evil question... Veeshan is a neutral deity, after all. It's my understanding that the Ring of Scale is a splinter group that broke off of Claws of Veeshan for political reasons, not religious ones... and although they opposed the Claws of Veeshan, they still consider themselves Veeshan followers, probably.
Vox and Nagafen were kicked out of the Ring of Scale for different reasons... namely for attempting to mate, something forbidden for dragons of different colors to do. See the whole Sleeper's Tomb fiasco to see why this is forbidden...

This faction is definately related to the new VOI expansion. There will be a city of Dragons, and this faction will be associated with them.
