Dràek Úzhai

King of Dragons

in the continent of Gitan Ak, there are those who have survived the Titans, those with the strength to fight back, The most successful of these are the dragons of Dràek Úzhai, which literally means, the land of draconic warriors. unlike they Anyang kin, they do not have as much time for art and spirituality, they are warriors, and they need to be. They live only by the grace of their fiery breath, and if they were to falter, they might just find themselves on the run.  

The Fight

The culture that has formed here is one of discipline and loyalty, for in the fight against evil, there can be no question or doubt, the dragon guarding your wing must be one you can trust with your life, for the entire nation depends on in, it is because of this that the dragons here have developed a much more social culture than is seen in most dragons. They need to be social, in order to be able to fight together.  

Clans

There are five dragon clans within Dràek Úzhai, each ruling over their own province. These clans can consist of a wide variety of dragon types, although there are no blue or brown dragons within this nation. The most common are green and red dragons, although the black and white make up a sizable minority.   The Royal clan are those who follow the king and his descendants, residing in dragons keep, this clan is the strongest of them all, and the most prestigious, they are the ones who lead the nation, especially during battle. The head of the Royal Clan, is also the king of Dràek Úzhai, and he is the green dragon Caethreynax, the most powerful dragon in the world.   The Leaf Wing clan rules in the northernmost region of the nation, over the subtropical forests, they are the guardians of the forest, and they are one of two clans with a direct land border with the the Titans, which is why they are also called the Guardians of the green wall, as they have constructed a most magnificent line of fortification against the Titans, which meets the mountains in the east, and the wall of Ukraekh in the west. They are led by the green dragon Pargaenius   The Sand Serpent clan are the lords of the sands, they rule over central Dràek Úzhai, with has in its east a stretch of dry plains. The sand serpents are known as the sand sentinels, they are the ones who fight the most in the borderlands, along with the Iron Hides. They are led by the red dragon, Theodaethax "the Storm", nicknamed such for his legendary fury, and speed on the battlefield.   The Iron Hide clan are the tanks of Dràek Úzhai, they are the only ones who fly into battle wearing full plate armor, all dragons wear protection, especially on their most vulnerable body parts, but no other dragons could fly being weighed down by full plate. but ages of practice, and conditioning have hardened the Iron Hides, and they have even taken their name from this practice. They are led by the red dragon Felldryxus "the Metal".   The Frost Breath clan is the northernmost of the dragon clans, they are the other clan with i direct land border to Titan lands, they are the guardians of the frost wall, which starts high in the mountains, in the east, and ends in the ocean in the west. The frost beaths are the only clan led by a greater dragon, the female White dragon Millisandrax.  

Borderlands

The dragons have desperately held on to the forests directly west of their mountains, these lands provide them with a battleground of their choosing, and to make sure the Titans don't sneak past their sentries into the mountains, and launch a surprise attack. The Titans don't do well in the hilly and densely forested terrain here, providing them with all the advantage they need to secure victory.

Society

The dragons of Dràek Úzhai are forced to live in groups, which is not usual for dragons, as they are by nature solitary creatures. But the pressure of war has taken precedence over nature, and these dragons live in familial clans, in dragon cities. These cities are a collection of lairs, built near to each usually high up in the mountains, from the rock of the mountain. They are often just large rocks, hollowed out by the heat of dragon fire, and the molten rock is taken outside and shaped into a landing platform. There are also a large amount of lowland cities, these are also built from rock, but rather than being hollowed out, they are created from stones that were collected wherever they could find, and molded together, using heat and force, and shaped into a home worthy of dragons.   They still don't live very close together, but for them it is, as flying for five seconds, they could seen any family member, which is very different from the full days they would have to travel, if they lived on Veskar.  

Dragon City

The largest and most densely built of these cities is Dragon city, the capital, located in the center of Dragons Keep, the home of the Royal clan. It is home to hundreds of dragons, of all types.  

Greater Dragons

Greater dragons are a minority in Dràek Úzhai, it is often mistakenly believed that greater dragons are stronger than common dragons, but really they are just bigger. They fly slower, but their magic is no stronger than that of a common dragon. They do have a physical strength advantage tho, and they can take more hits before gong down. Which is why in Dràek Úzhai, they are used as tanks, brute force objects, to destroy enemy lines, and scatter them, for the main forces to pick of one by one.
