Dragon Faithful

Dragon Faithful (竜を祀る民) is the name for those who worship the Dragon Princess, Milim Nava.

Background
Strictly speaking, the members of the Dragon Faithful are not subordinates of Milim; they willingly choose to worship and obey her commands. Milim's domain, which is known as the City of the Forgotten Dragon, is inhabited by a population of under a hundred thousand people who live in harmony with nature, relying on the land for sustenance.

The Dragon Faithful, residing within the City of the Forgotten Dragon, number less than a hundred thousand in total. They lead their daily lives as a cooperative community without a centralized government. Although they may not be known for their combat prowess, it should be noted that all of them are Dragonewts and possess formidable combat abilities.

Abilities
The Dragon Faithful, due to certain local conditions, possessed exceptional physical abilities. Alongside their remarkable organizational skills, each adult had the strength and prowess to nearly reach C-rank status. Initially, their pacifist nature might have obscured their true potential, but in reality, they formed an incredibly formidable group of warriors.

Among them, the priests stood in a league of their own. Carefully selected from the region's finest individuals, only a hundred or so were chosen. Through their daily "prayer sessions" to Milim (which involved intense battle training), they attained superior combat skills. As some advanced to the level of Middray or Hermes, they even became formidable enough to present a considerable challenge to Milim herself.

These priests were actually Dragonewts, humanoid beings with dragon lineage. Unlike their lizardmen counterparts, they evolved from dragons who chose to adopt a more human form and interbred with humans. However, despite their shared ancestry, most of the dragonewts couldn't revert to their original draconic form. Among the priests, individuals like Stella, who possessed the ability to transform, were extremely rare. Many priests lacked dragon-specific abilities such as Dragon Change or Dragon Body and appeared almost indistinguishable from ordinary humans, except for their inherently stronger physiques. Instead, they honed their arts as practitioners of Holy Magic and specialized in hand-to-hand combat techniques like Battlewill and Drago Fist, which Millim created herself.

Trivia

 * The Dragon Faithful are shown to be farmers and are self sufficient enough to grow their own crops.
 * The Faithful in particular are known to make offerings to Milim in the form of their best harvested crops, with Milim being known to pass by and eat them.
 * However as observed by Hermes, due to the fact that they are raw vegetables, Milim is noted to be highly unhappy with the "offerings" and is known to make a deadpan and unsatisfied expression as she ate them.
 * There's even a cameo gag in Slime Diaries Episode 8, in which Milim's statue in City of the Forgotten Dragon broke when she was enjoying roasted sweet potatoes in Tempest. Hermes commented that it must be a divine punishment for serving her something she doesn't like.
