What is a dracomancer?

We know what necromancers are (the word comes from the Greek words, "Nekros" ("corpse") and "manteia" ("prophesy"). What is the role of the dracomancers in the Bonemire? Any ideas?

Draco is the latin word for Dragon. and Mancer I think is to call upon something for control of it.

So in short, they can call upon dragons to control them, which I assume can be drakes. Of course, this is the litereal translation of the word. I can be wrong about it overall.

I notice that in greek, Draco was a "lawgiver" who set out the greek legal code in writing. The code he created was very harsh, punishing both trivial and serious crimes with death...
