Emperor’s Peak

Emperor’s Peak

Country: Don Shou

Population: 2,000

Primary Races: The primary creatures here are dragons. There are others that live here, mostly spiritual or powerful people.

Ruling Body: Emperor's Peak serves as the capital of Don Shou. Various dragons oversee the country and maintain its safety. It is unclear to any from the outside if there is a direct ruling body in the city itself. Those few who live there understand the complicated and diverse ruling features of the dragons.

Description: The city is built into a valley at the top of the mountain. Caves line the outer walls, acting as homes for the hundreds of dragons that live here. The paths that lead to the ancient city are treacherous. Magic or flight tends to be the primary ways to get there. Only those with great influence are invited here, although many families have lived here for generations. It is considered an honor to visit the city. The architecture is breathtaking and the landscape beyond description.

Notable Inns:

The Nest - The sign out front shows a dragon’s egg. Travelers are not common in the city but when they are in town they stay here. The inn is incredibly formal, honoring old traditions. Everyone is treated with the utmost respect. No expense is spared in taking care of the patrons who stay here.

Notable Locations:

The Rookery - Hidden away in the mountain there is a place the dragons keep their eggs. The young are often brought here as a place to learn restraint and have the chance to play. Dragons tend to live fairly private lives and it is a good chance for them to meet when they are younger.

The Center of the World - The dragons claim that the direct center of the city is also the direct center of the world. While most do not understand the implications of this it is clear something is different there. The laws of nature are bent with magic working strangely, gravity becoming more or less non-existent, and other bizarre things happening.

Yen Mau Square - Built around The Center of the World, there is Yen Mau Square. The square is at all times guarded by two dragons. They claim that this is the location that they earned their freedom from the gods. The area is made from fired brick and some kind of stained glass. The entire area radiates divine power.
