Dragon Dynasties

Dragon Dynasties

Dynasty of the Rose

The gold dragon flight unanimously followed the original Emperor of golden blooms when he united them during the original Dracon wars. Since his defeat and death his lineage has carried on his title and honorable conduct as they lead their fellow dragons to an age of peace and prosperity. The Dynasty of the Rose has always been known as a benevolent leadership, and is the oldest Dynasty among all the dragon flights. Being the oldest dynasty is has built a long earned respect from the other Dynasties, even their primary rival the Dynasty of Steel who see the gold dragon flight as effective, but ultimately weak leaders. The gold dragon flight knows that this delicate rivalry is their most important charge, as the red dragons would rule over the other flights with a ruthlessness never before seen.

Dynasty of Steel

The Dynasty of Steel rules over the red dragon flight with a cruel hand. The ruling family has long used their aggressive dominion to militarize their followers. The red dragon families all compete for rank and title. They rule the surface of the dwarven realm Aetoc. Erallin the immense rules the Dynasty as a singular emperor who maintains total control from the Steel eye, an orbital palace far above Aetoc. The red dragons have long felt they should rule the other flights, and are constantly looking for ways to subvert the power of the gold dragons. Their motivation in seizing power revolves around ancient grudges, Red dragons never forget a slight and have felt they deserve rightful recompense since the dracon wars. Most individual red dragons have specific enemies in mind for their wrath, however written in their records is every official slight ever suffered by the Dynasty of Steel.

Dynasty of the open hand

The silver dragons follow the Dynasty of the open hand more as a tradition than actual form of government. The Dynasty's lineage died out long ago, but the Silver Dragons still hold the family as their spiritual leaders while some rumors say the ghosts of the fallen dragons lead from beyond the grave. Despite the lack of official leadership, the Silver dragons are one of the most organized Dynasties. They have strict family lines and take diplomacy very seriously. They are known for being benevolent leaders who believe in equity and equality.

Dynasty of Endless Seas

The Bronze dragon flight has always been incredibly focused on exploration. They have long swam among the oceans of different worlds, talked to and saved many a sailing ship and its crew, as well as flown along coastlines to map them and study the species along reefs. The Dynasty of Endless Seas were simply an explorers league of sorts, hiring adventurers to map dungeons and strange places of the world. They gained the support of the other bronze dragons when they proved to have a true respect for knowledge, and let the mortal races of the old world access the vast libraries of collective knowledge shared by bronze dragons for no more than a single copper piece.

Xo Dynasty

Blue dragons have always been distrustful of leaders. Monarchies have never lasted among their kind; however the Xo Dynasty gained the respect of their draconic fellows through shrewd diplomacy and underhanded tactics. Their entire leadership system is focused on a intricate web of spycraft and blackmail. The betrayals of other blue dragons and hidden past failures are stored and collected to be used by Xo leadership. No blue dragon now dares to conduct business without the Dynasties direct involvement, as there are no secrets the Xo won't discover.

The Penny Accords

More a collection of guilds and artisans among the Bronze dragon flight than a true government. The dragons of The Penny Accords are clever profiteers, focused more on the accumulation of goods than wealth. They are well known for collecting bountiful supplies of the finest silks, masterworks, jewelry and décor in large amounts. While The Penny Accords do not live lavishly by comparison to other Dynasties they are well known for always having something you desire. In direct leadership of Murt they lead the Halfling people with a loose hand and no leash. They provided much protection for the halflings early in Murts history; however the Halfling people proved resilient and independent. Traits which earned the respect of the Bronze Dragon Flight. Since the bronze dragons. Now many say the Bronze Dragons don't rule Murt at all.

Tribes of Ao

The tribes of Ao can all trace their lineages to one original drake from the Dracon wars. The Green Dragon Flight has never been able to settle their differences to have a unified front or leader, however their individual competition and the ferocity with which they fight each other is turned ten fold upon enemies who threaten them as a whole. They are considered savages by most other dragons, uncultured and primitive. However in truth they have old heart felt traditions, deep art and incredible works of passion. They are very fond of goblin music and the goblins fervor for celebration. The hobgoblins earned their respect with pure military prowess when they would war against the hobgoblin domination of the goblins of the old world. In their new Realm they have cultivated a great wildland, a world spanning forest that covers even the worlds great oceans. This canopy of green gives both the green dragon flight plenty of nesting room, but it gives way to rampant beast life for them and their goblin hosts to feed upon.

Dynasty of golden Sands

The brass dragons of Ootopyllidrak have always been masters of new technologies and inventions of the mortal races. They love every creation and iteration of new tools. Having seen the way mortals lives have changed century to century all due to one discovery, turning into a new idea, into a new invention, into a new common house hold item. Their longevity gives them a perspective of invention that can see its multigenerational development. This perspective leads them in their own governing, with each doctrine and every decision looking forward to the possibilities of change. They have a strict government and balance among their leaders, but still have one of the most mutable law systems. The great Brass Palace cities they nest in were gifts from the gnomish people after they settled Ootopyllidrak. In return the brass dragons gifted sprite servants to the gnomes to assist in their tending of the great jungles what surround the fresh waters surrounding the Brass Palaces. The centaurs who have long fostered kind relations with brass dragons in the old world now serve as the tenders of the deserts between palaces, ferrying goods over the course of months as they circle the globe on hoof.

Immortal Triumvirate

The Triumvirate are rumored to be the oldest dragons to currently live. Each having taken on a form of suspended life and death. Oragoz the Putrid has long sustained themselves off the blood of others, having cursed themselves with vampirism he leads a devoted cult of turned followers both draconic and mortal. Fair Savsyllis is a powerful draconic priest who oversees the interment of the dead and the fulfillment of their death debts and reanimation. Ub still breath was a potent necromancer and student of the original lich, they ascended to lichdom during the dracon wars, and formed the Triumvirate shortly after. The Triumvirate has peacefully shared dominion over the black dragon flight with no conflict. The black dragons both respect and revere their leaders as holy figures. Using their connection to the death and lifeless the Triumvirate rules over Zoi like grave keepers, seeing it as their sacred duty to maintain the balance between the living and the dead.

Uncrowned Dynasty

The uncronwed dynasty has never been a try dynasty, and instead is a mockery turned title by the White Dragon Flight. White dragons find the idea of authority abominable and foolish, they are wild and fight anyone and everything they come across. They do not believe in there ever being a possibility for a leader, as no one would stop fighting long enough to follow. They rule the frigid mountains and crags of Tawana like hungry predators ruling the sweeping plains of a safari. They give no orders and no decrees, their orcish constituents do not view the dragons who rule the skies of their home realm to be their leaders, and instead hide from and fight the white dragons when necessary.
