Dragon's Fire

 * Leadership Structure: There is a leadership structure within Dragon's Fire. They do have the authority and reserve rights to revoke membership. The Grand Dragon, created as a title to go with the de facto leader and obviously coming out from a tavern, has most of the power and the final say in its current leadership structure. There are senior chiefs, but they are small in number and are often appointed by the Grand Dragon or the Representative manually. The group's purpose is not exactly clear, having changed a lot over the past 20 years as of 1540. It is perhaps why historians seem to be intrigued but also forget about its existence. The Operator is known to carry out financial operations of the organisation and handles most of the assets of the organisation.
 * Grand Dragon:
 * Mechiel Tangelder (b. 1480 - d. 1549, office 1502 - 1542)
 * Koen van der Wel (b. 1502 - d. [1570], office since 1542 - 1559)
 * Lars Hatgers (b. 1515, office since 1558)
 * Head of the Tangelder Company:
 * Mechiel Tangelder (b. 1480 - d. 1549, office 1515 - 1542)
 * Koen van der Wel (b. 1502 - d. [1570], office 1542 - 1551)
 * Joris Polder (b. 1520, office since 1551)
 * Representative of the Grand Dragon:
 * Hubert Bodde (b. 1473 - d. 1536, office c. early 1510s - 1536)
 * Koen van der Wel (b. 1502 - d. [1570], office 1536 - 1546) - abolished
 * Operator (Financier): Gert Rutters (b. 1499, office since 1530)
 * Senior Chiefs: Six figures
 * Membership: 820 members, all of them are concentrated in Westrian Netherlands and based around Den Haag and the surrounding towns within a close range of no more than 30 kilometres. Membership has declined by an amount because of Dutch resistance and rebellion that is happening, where some decided to leave the organisation for good and instead look more forward to the independence of the Dutch people from Westria.
 * The Tangelder Company: It is a front company that owns much of the assets that the New World expedition led by the late Grand Dragon holds, along with many of the weapons and ships of the organisation. It is secretly and mainly operated by Dragon's Fire for the purpose of not making the organisation dubious and stashing a lot of gold with intention of revolting, although some of its members are known to have supported other underground groups indirectly since its distancing from its original purpose in the early 16th century.
 * 270 men
 * 6 transport ships
 * 2 caravels
 * Diplomacy: N/A
 * Operations:
 * Dutch Revolt: Though not directly involved, many of the members of this organisation have left for the Dutch Revolt. Some of the mercenaries from the front company of the organisation Tangelder Company are involved in fighting alongside with the Dutch, with some of the funds and assets being transferred by some towards effort of fighting against Westrian control of the Netherlands. It effectively delayed parts of the organisation's long-term efforts and divided the organisation again for the first time, with many having no reason soon to go out of the Netherlands. Seeing their brothers and sisters fighting against Westria, this also led to the plummeting of membership, which will be discussed a little bit later.
 * Events: (The lower caps events are hurting me)
 * Leadership Shift: Koen van der Wel resigned on 1559 as violence in Westrian Netherlands rose and the Dutch Revolt had truly begun to take shape. Few of the senior chiefs have resigned as well. This led to a restructuring of the organisation as it begins to take a hit for the first time since its early years of formation. Members have left, mainly because they begin to see that a Dutch nation is becoming possible and that their only intentions to join the organisation for the sake of expressing their own opinions. Volunteerism has become dominant within the organisation, where many of the organisation's members are opting into supporting the revolt ore openly than they have before. But the new leader is not deterred by that, but despite the huge unconditional support, the long-term goals of Dragon's Fire is still being put ahead, albeit delayed. (see Operations for more details)
 * Still Moving Ahead: With huge division within Dragon's Fire, some were willing to continue their long-term goals by a remainder of 5-1 vote, but they have been put aside for their own fight against Westria. Hatgers is the only one who wanted to continue the goals as van der Wel had pursued and with more members beginning to leave, it is clear that he would be left with a small group of close-minded people who would go on to reach other places to colonise.
