How does a dragon's active Order work in Game of Thrones: Dragonfire?

Every dragon has exactly one active Order (its signature ability) plus 5 passive habits.

The Order fires on its own each round, either on fixed intervals (specific rounds, e.g. "rounds 3, 6, 9") or on a chance threshold (e.g. "20% each round"). A fight runs up to 10 rounds (often 1 or 2).

Example — Caraxes / *Infernal Burst*: on rounds 3, 6 and 9 it deals +100% fire damage to 3 enemies (+150% with First-Strike). You never trigger it by hand: everything is automatic, following the Order's own script.

The Order is what makes a dragon that dragon. Read it carefully: it tells you which rounds it hits on, and which synergies it wants (Panic, Burn, control effects…).
