Staropica
The Drackonis found themselves in reality, flanked by the most violent of Dragons, The Blood Dragons. The Blood Dragons enslaved The Drackonis and forced them to build an empire for them. They tortured the drackonis and treated them as objects, killing them, manipulating them. A cult arose that was born of The Blood Dragons. They followed their masters’ wills vehemently and contributed to the suffering of the other drackonis, often being slave drivers and such.
When a human magician, Abby Normal, happened upon Staropica, accompanied by Assorssus and The Stranger, he stumbled upon a Blood Drackonis named Shen Kurasami. Shen was responsible for magically engineering the infrastructure of the city to aid The Blood Dragons in oppressing the drackonis, but he had begun to doubt the morals behind his actions and Abby saw the spark of rebellion in him and entreated him to stand up against their oppressors. Shen adamantly refused. He turned them away and stormed off.
He came back to where they were staying later that night having changed his mind. The trio helped him gain the support of each of the clans, and a mysterious verdant drackonis named Dormen. Unfortunately, he left halfway through, for an unknown reason and has never been seen again. Due to Dormen’s sudden disappearance, the group found themselves unable to overtake their rulers. The Mystic had the unique ability to see the future. He had seen this coming and been gathering power for this very moment. He released all of his power into a final attack. A final attack that drained all of his magic, leaving him completely powerless. Having no more to contribute to the world he went to a distant land to meditate and has never been seen again. Shen created the statue of Ul’Gotok, Leader of the Blood Dragons, atop the city, magically enhanced to keep the remaining Blood Dragons banished from being able to enter Reality. After The Blood Dragons, now Old Dragons, were defeated a lot of blood drackonis had all been killed or committed suicide. Shen then decided to leave the city, knowing that his scale pigmentation would only retraumatize people.
The trio helped the drackonis rebuild the city and establish a new system of government, the Council of Staropica, consistent with the leaders from each clan. Since then, the city has evolved into a melting pot of the clans. The Council do their best to keep the people as a part of the governing process, not keeping secrets and giving everyone a voice.
The city has multiple levels, much of the infrastructure made of sandstone lined in pewter, giving the corners of structures a bright shine that reflects the sky everywhere. The sky over Staropica is always starry, no matter the time of day, which reflects all over the ground and walls making it seem as though the city were made of stars. The top layer, atop which sits Ul’Gotok’s statue, is the office of the Council of Staropica. The next layer down is The Artisan Layer, where almost every business or profession in Staropica resides. The ground layer is mainly residences, but also home to The Colosseum and the Admin Building.
