Building for the last 550 years, the world of Dothor has become set amongst the political powers that be. The three continents of the planet, Xarsas, Dothor, and Ilu (typically referred to as the Isle of Beasts) have either become a conqueror holding on to its waning power, the rise of an empire expanding its borders, or an untamed land of beasts with new exploratory missions being sent there
As empires, alliances, and kingdoms have settled. The continents of this world bring forth different political powers with different wants and needs
Xarsas is large continent northeast of Dothor ruled by an ancient blue dragon named Idrizraele-Karselridrith-Aghazstahm, more commonly referred to as the Lightning Lord. Xarsas has been established longer than any united nation or power, as the Lightning Lord conquered the continent thousands of years ago. Together, with the Lightning Lord’s appointed leaders, the House of Dragons, Xarsas was a strong global power. After the Draconic Conspiracy and Scaled Usurpation, the mighty rule of the Lightning Lord is starting to crack as infighting and dissent hits the region.
L’Etheria Doreé, the Golden Empire
11 Years after the Scaled Usurpation, in a peace keeping effort, Etheria absorbed the Motherwood Territories and the Unbroken Mountains. The Everqueens renamed their queendom to L’Etheria Doree which translates to the Golden Empire. With firm control over the majority of Dothor, the Golden Empire has their eyes set on the Pentalliance.
In the west of the Dothor continent, 5 now major cities are fully established around 400 years ago as humans have been the newest, but fastest growing, humanoid species on this planet. Orlane, Kervot’s Blessing, Trudeau, Arkadium, the newly established Oakenshield band together to give humans a true presence in this world with the power to export, special materials to work with, and a strong, magically military might.
While not a global power, the united front of pirates from Krakoa have disrupted supply lines and stolen gold from other powers. Rumors have it that the pirates are expanding their ranks and have new home on an unmapped island.
Dragons and the Council of Scales
Though the Council of Scales is not a nation or truly unified front, the 12 Dragon Lords that make up the scale can have considerable influence on the world. Idrizraele-Karselridrith-Aghazstahm (the Lightning Lord) rules over Xarsas while Mokat controls the Frozen Wilds in Dothor. Dragons used to have more contact with mortals, but after the failure of the Draconic Conspiracy and the Scaled Usurpation, dragons have gone into hiding.
