Dragons of Historia

The Dragons of Historia
Since the earliest record, dragons have lived throughout the world. Today, there are two different categories of dragons that are known to exist; the metallic dragons and the chromatic dragons. They are further broken down into five species each; for the metallic dragons, there are brass, bronze, copper, gold, and silver dragons, and for chromatics there are black, blue, green, red, and white. Dragons have always been rare and powerful creatures, with large and expanding territories. However, after the Fleur de Vi Tree, or Flower of Life, was corrupted and turned into the Fleur de Mort, or Flower of Death, the death curse killed a large percentage of life on the planet. Not immune to the death curse were the dragons, which suffered heavy losses. When Aurelius, the ancient gold dragon, with the help of many powerful mages constructed a wall that repelled the effects of the death curse, the dragons of all species flocked to the inner sanctum of the walls.

In the first few weeks, there was a council of all the kings, dragons, and other beings of power and importance met and comprised a treaty. The ancient gold dragon Aurelius became the emperor and overall leader of the empire newly christened Historia, and took the old island once controlled by the Bleu family as the new capital, naming it Central City. Gold dragons and dragonborn became sacred overnight as per decree from the new draconic emperor. Aurelius also created the kingdoms of Northernia, Easternia, Westernia, and Southernia and installing the strongest kingdoms that resided on the continent as the ruling class of that nation. In addition, Aurelius gave land to the oldest of the chromatic and metallic dragons as draconic empires within each kingdom in exchange for fighting the hordes of undead should the walls ever fall.

Excluding the new draconic emperor, there were nine other ancient dragons. Of the metallics, Vanir the silver dragon was given land in the northern mountains of Westernia, though it is known that Vanir spends the majority of his time in Central City with the emperor. Kengorath, the bronze dragon, receive Draco Island between Northernia and Westernia. Tyrangal the copper was given the eastern mountains of Southernia, while Malchior took the western mountains of Southernia. Of the chromatics, Volkakaneer the ancient blue took the southern deserts of Southernia near the Scorpion Gate. Vellatrix the ancient black dragon took the swamplands of northern Easternia, and Neragon took the bordering Emerald Forest near that. Nirvol the red dragon took the southern mountains of Westernia, and up far north in the deserted arctic mountains, Ghaulathator controls the land near the Wolf’s Gate.
