Ladon

The great city-state of Ladon stood on its island at the centre of Aiaor, a shining monument to the original harmony of the World, its silver walls lit by the sun throughout the day and mottled by the shadows of the seven Promordials, who circled far off in other planes of Existence. Here, the chromatic clades and their various guardian Dragons laid plans for the rebuilding of the World, while the metallics in the north sought harmony with the world that actually was.
The Ladon Sea lay at the heart of a broad valley, an earthly paradise teeming with unique life. Known as the Crucible of Wyrms, this valley was the original home of not just the dragons, but all of the lesser draconic species. The fauna of the Crucible ranged from the lowliest pseudodragons and dragonflies, to proud dragonnels and the great dragon turtles. Even the fauna had draconic traits.

The Fall of Ladon

Despite Ladon's central location, the Crown at its heart emerged oddly unscathed when the in-fighting of the Primordials tore the continent of Aiaor assunder. The Tore cracked, the sea of Ladon was drained, but the hill remained, swept almost clear of the city that once clustered around the tower.
To the east, a rise was thrown up, joining the island to the continent of Yethera. To the east, the sea was torn open and the ocean flooded in to form the Coronal Sea. To the north, the land parted to create the triangular inlet of the Great Delta, with such violence that both shores were wiped clear of all traces of civilised occupation. Further north still, the lands of Auris were all-but drowned, leaving only the archipelago that refugees from Ladon, not wishing to remain on what they now considered cursed land, dubbed Ladonia.
The Cataclysm marked the end of 'draconic society'. Ever since, the dragons have been scattered individuals, their cultural legacy questionably claimed by the dragonborn.
