Dragon Dynasties
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.
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 silver dragons follow the Dynasty of the open hand more as a tradition than actual form of government. The Dynastys 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.
The Bronze dragon flight has always been incredibly focused on exploration. The 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.
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.
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 Mhurt they lead the Halfling people with a loose hand and no leash. They provided much protection for the halflings early in Mhurts 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 Mhurt at all.
