Bralis

A rugged landscape in every sense of the word, from towering glacial fjords to hot desert hoodoos of banded rock. Huge, fierce lizards found no-where else on Kyre make this already tough place almost inhospitable outside of the well-guarded cities. This small continent, the largest body of land on Kyre after the rest of the supercontinent, is known for the wildness of its native fauna and its dramatic landscapes, for the Dragonborn who made it their home, and for having the first large empire of the Age of Duality.

Fauna & Flora

Bralis hosts a wide diversity of scaled and feathered animals that are unique to the continent, or at least were several centuries ago before sailors made contact in the first age. One of the most recognizable native species, well-known for its invasive tendencies, is the hoglizard. They feature heavily in Dragonborn heraldry as a symbol of fearlessness and tenacity. Any who survive an encounter these boarish beasts in the wild are likely to agree with this reputation.  Cockatrice,

History

Each clan on Bralis maintained their own history of their draconic origins, each recorded their own saga once the draconian script was developed and popularized. Although a few clans have greatly dwindled or even disappeared, only a few clan sagas have been lost to history because other clans often take it upon themselves to preserve their records. They have certainly warred among themselves in the past, but usually had more pressing concerns to defend against such as the native wildlife, or in the case of the First Age, invading humans.

Human sailors from Yaslon were the first mainlanders to become aware of Bralis. This entire age after first contact was rife with war as the Yaslon humans tried to colonize the land and the dragonborn clans united against their common enemy to defended their homeland.

These constant wars persisted on and off in this way for the entire First Age, until the Ereduarn Empire began expansion into Yaslon and made an alliance with the dragonborn. With their help, the tables finally turned so they could win the war, and the united dragonborn clans and Ereduarn remained fast allies.

Unlike the rest of the world, the Dragonborn actually fared very well after the Wake because there were few other sentient races on Bralis under the green moon, mostly just new monsters. Additionally, the ancestral dragons returned to guide and direct them. Because of how prosperous the dragonborn became, many refugees flocked to the port cities of Bralis while others were inspired to seek their own dynarchs.

Tourism

Despite the wilds being almost inhospitable in most places due to climate or creatures, Bralis has a thriving tourism industry of guided, guarded tours. Its landscapes are legendary, and to people who don't mind the hikes, these natural wonders are points on their bucketlists. For the less adventurous, the ancient defense cities around Bralis are still impressive enough to take a trip to, if only for its historical value.
