World of Dromaria

Don Shou

In the rugged lands of Erimata, where mountains reach skyward and the Leviathan's waters stretch far and wide, Don Shou stands as a land steeped in ancient power. This nation, the center of draconic rule, is at a pivotal moment in its history. The aftershocks of recent, world-altering events have yet to subside, leaving both dragons and mortals in a state of flux. Emperor's Peak, the age-old font of power, along with the forested outskirts and sprawling plains, serve as living chronicles of a sacred Covenant between dragonkind and mortals. As the dragons strive to rebuild and re-establish their dominion, the mortal populace is left to consider their role in a changing world. In Don Shou, arcane wonders coexist with political intricacies, creating a nation where every scale, feather, and leaf has its own tale to tell. Whether you're an academic intrigued by the mystic arts, a statesperson keen to understand the balance of power, or an adventurer in search of both peril and treasure, Don Shou offers an array of opportunities and challenges.

Geography

Enveloped by the Gyre Ocean, Don Shou boasts a geography as grand as the dragons that rule it. Dominating the landscape is the Leviathan, the largest body of freshwater in the world, centrally located and serving as a geographical focal point. To the north, pine forests flourish, providing a natural barrier that segues into the Wyrmpeaks, a smaller mountain range in the southwest. However, it is Emperor's Peak in the east that stands as the pinnacle of the nation's topography, a massive mountain that serves as the seat of dragon rule. South of this towering peak lies a large deciduous forest, offering a contrast to the evergreen expanses of the north. An intricate network of rivers crisscross the land, fed by both the mountain ranges and the Leviathan. Off the northern coast, a scattering of small islands can be found. Don Shou's climate is relatively mild, tending toward the cooler side. Its weather patterns include warm summers and cold winters. Due to the presence of dragons, the ecology is somewhat skewed; while plant life is abundant, the animal population is sparse. Most dragons choose to hunt in neighboring Yen Su Ma, leaving Don Shou's wildlife relatively undisturbed. As a result, many of the mortals residing here have adopted a vegetarian lifestyle, living off what the land and its draconic rulers provide.
