Dragon Vault
Stronghold of the Scalebreaker Legion
Population: 2,000 Scalebreakers and their recruits
Ruler: Commander Callisto
Known For: Training Grounds, the Vault, Crypt of Heroes
Against the base of the Rust Edge Mountains sits the great walls of the Dragon Vault. The red stone walls have several carved draconic gargoyles perched upon it, and a great gate that opens to a courtyard of barracks, fighting pits, and stables. A massive stone archway is carved into the base of the mountain, which houses the offices, war rooms, and crypts of the famous Dragon Vault, where the Scalebreakers train and plan their battles and attacks.
The Scalebreaker Legion hold their keep in central Caspia. Dragon Vault, or simply “The Vault,” as the Scalebreakers call it, is a massive fortification built into the side of the imposing Rust Edge Mountains. The Vault is an intimidating structure with two large dragon statues that can be seen from miles away flanking a large stone door. The door is etched with carvings of heavily armored knights fending off an army of dragons.
Outside the Vault doors is a walled-off camp with training pits, blacksmiths, watch towers, and other minor fortifications and amenities. Inside, the Vault is a war room, a command post, a bunker, and a deep catacomb. The catacomb is a massive hollowed-out cavern below the mountain where dead Scalebreakers are brought when they die. Their bodies are burned on a pyre made from the bones of every monster they themselves slew. The ashes remain atop these piles of bones as a testament to the deeds of that knight. The bigger the pyre of bones, the more heroic deeds that knight performed. It is every Scalebreaker’s goal to be worthy of an imposing pyre.
