Draconis

History
Not much is documented about the founding of Draconis or how the Dragonborn came to call this home. The earliest record of Draconisian history comes from about 1000 years ago, everything before is either lost, destroyed or get locked away in the Great Library of the city.

The Age of Kings
The early records describe a time known as the "Age of Kings", a time of great prosperity for the people of Dragonfall. The Kingdom of Dragonfall controlled the whole island with Draconis as it's capital.

The royal family was blessed by the dragon god Bahamut with platinum scales, unique among Dragonborn. Some even rumoured they were descendants of the dragon god himself. Either way, their power was absolute and just, the people thrived and the land provided plenty. This changed after the last king died without an heir.

The War of Scales
Without any true leadership, the kingdom fell to infighting many families claiming their right to the throne. Old friendships died, deals were made for support to their claims. However, among the arguments, new tensions rose with respect to the lineage of different Dragonborn. Although not directly related to dragons they share common ancestors, but of those ancestors, there were clear distinctions between benevolent and evil dragons. Those of Metallic scales were descendants of the benevolent, and those of Chromatic scales were from the evil. During disputes in Dragonfall this started to become a point of contention as those of metallic scale would argue their suitability to rule, whereas the chromatic scales would speak of oppression. These arguments trickled down into the population and two clear factions emerged.

It's not written who struck the first blow, but the effects of it are felt until today as civil war broke out in Dragonfall.

The Metallic faction maintained their hold of Draconis as their capital, while the Chromatic faction took the ancient city of Terraxis
