Vivex

The legendary mountain, which is roost to the Metallic Dragons sits in the north of Lynia, overlooking the plains and rolling hills with Veltuul to the West and the Ghost Sea to the East. In the not so common tongue, Vivex means Victory. In the pages of ancient Lore, when the Dragons first came to Moradin, they battled the primordial forces that resided on this continent. Their last triumphant battle took place on the mountaintop against the Dragon Lord whose name is shared with the Continent. The mountain has since been home to the metallic dragons and their oracles who help the dragons maintain balance of the continent by revealing to them glimpses of the future. Every so often the Golden Council chooses a virtuous mortal to become a Dragon Rider and bond with a chosen Dragon from Vivex.
The Gold Dragons use the Dragon Riders as their champions and frequently sends them to mediate disputes across the globe and even to other Planes to represent the Material plane in extraplanar matters.
Since the Long War and the Coming Dark event however, Vivex has maintained a magical shield around the mountain and has not lowered the shield nor communicated with the outside world.

Government

Despite the normal denizens of Vivex, the system of government is a chromatocracy. In which Gold dragons or Golden Dragonkin have higher status than their brethren. The ruling council of Vivex is made up of Gold Dragons who each speak as equals and have no leader above them. Attached to this Gold Council is a group of Seers who perform divination duties for the Council.

The Gold Council

The rulers of Vivex, selected from birth. Their number is always in flux due to how genetics works, but the elder members will groom younger members in the ways of the Council so the culture largely stays the same throughout the lifespan of each council generation. Dragons are exceptionally long lived so there is a rule for rotational membership within the council itself. The oldest council member is over twelve thousand years old.

The Seers

The Seers are spellcasters who are specifically gifted with divination magic. They can see into the future, the past, and the far distances of realities not quite our own. Some are conduits for communication through the planescape. And a few are simply heralds, those who can see the worthiness of future Dragonriders. Their number is always kept at ten, prospective seers are trained by the current ten as handmaids and Seers-in-waiting.

The Goldwing Legion

The heroic Dragonriders of Vivex. They are pulled from all places of civilization if the Seers select them.
