Dragon Mouth
The Southern continent of Tanaheim.
Geography
The landscape of Dragon Mouth is very similar to the island of Japan. Though it is much larger in landmass.
Fauna & Flora
Dragon Mouth is settled primarily by Dragon Born. The world of Tanaheim has very few actual dragons left within it but their inheritors are numerous.
Natural Resources
Dragon Mouth is known for it’s special timber which is very different than that or Tellenheim or Ventenheim. Large veins of Marble and other valuable stone can be found in the southeast. Dragon Mouth also has a larger share of precious metals like Gold and silver.
History
Dragonmouth is modeled loosely after the medieval Japanese empire. Large houses with special warriors who act as Lords, Judges, and Police at the same time. They answer to Governors who are seated in the major cities. The warriors are called Valiants and Sentinels. Valiants are knights or Samurai that patrol the lands doing their Governors bidding. That can be delivering a message to other cities or keeping a convoy safe. Sentinels stay in the city and defend the government and it’s people who live within the walls.
Home of the Dragon Born in our reality. It is an incredibly dangerous area, especially for other races.
Wardens are established in the smaller towns but hold fealty to the larger cities. This can cause conflicts as some cities claim certain towns belonging to other cities by law. Also some of the small towns resent their status and their taxes.
Dhalsim - Governed by a female Blue D.B. known as Tongue Splitter. Her Valiant is a Half Orc named Ober Meister and her Sentinel is an Eladrin named Felezal.
Ehonda - Governed by an Gold D.B. named Ezelal Ezekiel, he also claims governance over all of Corsun Lake. This is disputed by other local Governors and has caused quite a bit of friction in the region. Small skirmishes have resulted but no real battles yet. His Valiant is a female Gold D.B. named Sereena who also happens to be his eldest daughter. His other daughter is the Sentinel of the city, her name is Sabeena.
Sagat Hamlet - A smaller town in the region it technically is controlled by Dhalsim thought the current Warden has begun to claim independence in his bid to become a Governor. He is currently searching for his own Valiant and seems quite ambitious. He is a Green Dragon Born named Nalivax Navari.
Guile - Essentially a rival town to Sagat and they often have conflicts over fishing rights and land disputes. Plus the Warden here is a Blue Dragon Born named Huldon who really dislikes Nalivax.
Blanka Mountain - An ancient temple devoted to Blankalon has been carved into the side of the largest mountain by Goblinoids of a bygone age. It is still a pilgrimage site for many of the goblin and orc races. A group of great warrior sentinels protect the site and destroy any who try to harm it.

Ken - Southern village on Mbison Island, The Warden of Ken is a Red Dragon Born named Blistex Bissos. He considers the Island to be almost independent from the mainland and often disregards orders from other cities and Governors. He is always looking for an angle to make it legal too.
Ryu - Northern village on Mbison Island is ruled by a Warden named Cleus Corrilan a White Dragon Born who probably shouldn’t be in charge of anything. A scion of Harwen Plistix the Governor of Chunli , he was clearly given this position to get him out of her hair and learn some responsibility. It currently is not working and Bissos is taking advantage. Fishing rights and small land grabs have resulted in a ratcheting up of tensions between the two villages. Eventually this will spill out to the continent too if left unchecked.
City of Chunli - The capital of Dragon Mouth not only has a Governor but also the Chancellor. The Chancellor is elected by the other Governors to be the deciding vote and arbitrator of disputes that can’t be resolved by violence amongst the Governors. His ultimate power is questioned often though. The current Chancellor is one Orwen Orwellex an Black Dragon Born who is exceedingly old. The current Governor is a Silver Dragon Born named Harwen Plistix an older female who rules Chunli with an iron fist. The Valiant here is a black Dragon Born named Melleflix and the Sentinel is a Half Orc named Gorstun.
Beaches of Brunn - A large section of beautiful beach that can be found NE of Ryu.
Zangief - One of the three main ports in the region. The Governor is one Awallis Sonox. A haughty silver dragon born who claims to be one of the great sea captains many decades ago. Most people in the region don’t believe it though because little evidence exists. His Valiant is a Goliath named Joe Hammerfist. Many underestimate his intelligence and he seems to have a streak of honor and justice about him that curbs his Governors dark side.
Azurat Mega Structure - This enormous two pronged tower stands several thousand feet tall. No one remembers its purpose, nor how to get inside since there don’t seem to be any openings. Many claim to see movement or a balcony in the upper sections but it can only be seen by telescope and most claims are dismissed as rumor.
Corsun Lake - The largest source of freshwater on the continent many Governors want a larger portion of control over the area. Currently Ehonda’s Ezekiel claims control of the entire body of water. It has thousands of fisherman who operate in it’s waters all day and night as well as plenty of trappers looking for shellfish near the shore. Small villages can be found all around it’s banks.
Cammilan Swamp - This area may not look like much but actually provides a large portion of the entire continents food supply. A rice like grain is produced on the wet lands surrounding the actual swampy interior. Unlike most fantasy swamps filled with monstrous creatures and stagnant filthy water this swamp is a home to a diverse ecology of plant and animals.
Blankan Mountains - A treacherous mountain range filled with Goblinoids and all manner of dark creatures. Few would dare to tread there even Valiants with entire brigades at their backs.
Blanka Mountain Sanctuary - A sanctuary and pilgrimage site for all the Goblinoid races. It is a holy place to them and they defend it at all costs. More than their own homes.
Balrog road - The main thoroughfare connecting ChunLi, Zangief and Ehonda. It has constant problems from the goblin races and also the Fetid Razor.
The Fetid Razor - a gang of thieves and scoundrels roam the countryside stealing from caravans and travelers. They are offensively racist and made up solely of elves. They believe strongly that Dragon Mouth was the ancestral home of the first elves and all other races invaded years ago and should be cleared. Most Governors clearly fight against the Razor but they may have some supporters in certain areas including some in high places.
The teeth of the Dragon - A crazy rascist cult trying to cleanse all of dragon mouth of other races. Especially the goblinoid races but they will actively attack normal races too. If caught by the teeth a prisoner will be restrained and ritually killed in a ceremony that takes several hours to complete. It is a sacrifice performed to an ancient dragon that the teeth believe will reawaken and destroy all non dragons.
The Dragon born consider all other races to be inferior and they use this for their justification of slavery. There is a robust slave trade in dragon mouth and many powerful families will have 10-30 slaves maintaining homes and farming in fields. Even the most liberal of dragon born will find excuses to justify the keeping of slaves even if they themselves abhor it. Non dragon born law breakers will routinely be assigned slave roles and sent to an auction house if their sentence doesn’t include death or limb removal. The dragon born don’t believe in incarceration. There are still some loopholes in their laws regarding trial by combat, and clever adventurers can entice many dragon born into wagers for freedom. Dragon born love pitting their prowess against other races and showing their dominance.
