As we've seen in the books, most Dragaeran all armies are "convential" with a Sorcerer's Corps to supplement the Teckla/Dragon/Dzur infantry units. Perhaps during an Athyra reign, the Sorcerer's Corps would be larger and more sophisticated, but I doubt there is ever a time when conventional forces disappear entirely. Majikjon
