History
Draconic Empire
The capital city of the world-spanning empire, Drake Vil was the center all roads eventually lead to. The city was built upon three large plateaus with each having a specific function. Ruled over by the Dragon King/Queen, each built up upon the city creating parts in between the plateaus. The last Dragon Queen Essyrri, defended the city against the Phervian invasion and an elder brain dragon.Phervian Empire
Though the Phervian conquered the majority of the city, destroying a lot of it in the process, they never managed to take The Draconic Library. Throughout their reign, they built up the palace district imprisoning the dragon queen and housing their elder dragon there as well as rebuilding and expanding the city with a new Gith and slave quarters.Slave revolts
When the rebellions broke out, the palace district was the first to be raided, freeing the Dragon Queen only for her to side with the Phervians. The fighting saw most of the city destroyed again, leaving only The Draconic Library inhabited with just refugees hiding in other parts.The Draconic Library
Niomranioss took control of the area, reorganizing the settlement into proper districts and rebuilding the city to its former glory. Trade flowed in from the other cities growing around the silent lake. It also became a hub for academics to come research with a portal system between other academic centers linking to it. This would end with treaty of Shadow's port.Empire of Akoom
The city was governed by a council of concerned parties, led by a war cleric of Akoom. A new Temple was built in the palace district while a new devout district was built in its shadow. The city grew to its ancient size under this council.Free state
When the Empire collapsed the council model was kept with a representative from each district. Revered as the birth of civilization by this point even the dragon wars of the Chroma age steered clear. The city grew to its largest size at nineteen districts.Districts
1) Palace district
Built on the largest plateau, the palace district is home to the Dragon throne, elder dragon ziggurat, and grand temple to Akoom. It is also home to five large estates belonging to some of the most powerful families in the world.2)Draconic libary
Built in the draconic gothic style, the plateau has never been conquered and remained a place of learning. Home to a large Owlin and Draconic Heritage population, its representative has always been the Greatwyrm Niomranioss.3)Citidel
The last and smallest plateau houses the city's military. A large gothic fort rises from the plateau with enough provisions to last months, though its capabilities have never truly been tested. It currently holds the city guard as a proper military force is no longer needed, its captain also serves as the representative.4)mercent district
Situated just between the Draconic library and the citidel the merchant district is a patchwork of shops and marketplaces of varying design. Able to provide just about anything to the city it is the only truly open district. It also holds the majority of the city's Thiefling population. Its representative is elected from the merchants guild stationed there.5)Docks
The docks have been refurbished in the protected ring dock, in the style of The White City. Large warehouses, store rooms, and bunkhouses cover the area, though most are in older styles. The majority of residents are temporary sailors with a few dock hands. The harbor master is often the district representative or one of the ship captains.6)Craftsmen district
Between the merchant and dock districts, it is home to the majority of the workshops in the city. A large population of Drawfs, Gnomes, and Goblins lives in this district creating all manner of goods for the city. Many of the world's best enchanters end up in this district. The representative is elected from the various guilds that run the district as a council of their own.7)Sky dragon district
The old elite district based around the palace district, Still home to many gothic draconic and small ziggurat estates as well as newer ones. Most residents have property outside the city as well. The representative is elected from among those present.8)Tree district
The old park district became overgrown during the Phervian empire and was never tamed. Many Tabaxi and Aarakocra now call the area home, even using the forest's bounty to help feed the city. An elder represents the district at meetings.9)Gith district
A slightly run-down district formed into a tight nit community. In the center is a shrine to The silent master, at which many community events happen. The representative is always the community elder.10)Magic district
Situated just behind the Draconic library. Several schools dot the area around a large tower. A large mage population mostly made up of Elves fills this district. This district is also home to the spacial passage. The tower is owned by the high mage who also serves as the representative.11) Slums
On the southeastern outskirts of the city lies the old slave homes of the Phervian empire. Many of the poorest call this place home. Made of run-down shacks, made of whatever is at hand. The few solid structures include taverns, temples, and the guard center. The representative of this area has little power in the council and often has to deal with other districts to get his voice heard.12) Hellas District
A residential district for those who work throughout the city but don't own the workplace. a vast number of races exist in the district causing many disputes over who should represent them. A rota system has been created as a result meaning every adult will represent the district in turn. this has created a large multi-skilled workforce.13) Temple district
Positioned dead center of the city, no one knows what it replaced but is now home to temples to every god. The High priest to Draco holds the representative position, though it was the priest to Akoom during the Devine age.14) Orc district
Just by the Sky Dragon district with access to the palace district. The Orc district shows off the splendor of the old empire of Akoom with high colonnades, pillars, and a central forum. Entirely Orc the district rivals the wealth of the sky dragon district. The representative is a hereditary position of the Numia bloodline, though they live in the palace district.15)Farm district
The largest district goes up the coast north of the city. This district is the main breadbasket of the city, providing over seventy percent of the food. The representative is elected each meeting from among the land owners.16)Inquisitor camp
The smallest of the districts, it sits next to the citadel. You would not be blamed for thinking it a field camp rather than a city station due to the rudimentary structures within. The mostly open ground where inquisitors can set up camp is dotted with specialist merchants that serve only the inquisition. The stationed master also acts as representative though they rarely attend meetings.17)Gruul District
Mostly residential, most are employed in less than socially acceptable employment. The area is ruled by a figurehead of the true boss of the district. The district is said to be the biggest threat to the city's stability.18)Dark light district
Officially a small district off of the Merchant district that services less savory clientele, the dark district is actually dotted throughout the city for those who know where to look. The representative is a kingpin.19)foundry district
The newest district, this area is just outside the city limits and specializes in technological advancement. The Dwarf that founded the region is the current representative though it is expected that it will become elected under the guild that has formed in the district upon his death.
