Ar'Khos

The bastion of the dragons.

Kingdom of Ar'Khos.

Structure

The king is at the top at everything. He is helped by a council of the five most wise and powerful dragons of the kingdom. The soldiers are divided in three squads, each led by a general. These generals answer to the council and to the king. As for the merchants, they are led by one of the elders of the council.

Culture

Ar'Khos has a very draconish and monarchial culture. Everything in this society revolves around the role that each person has, and how usefull they can be. Dragons from the capital of Ar'Khos have their names separated in two parts. The "core" of their names stays for their whole lives. As for the Prefix, it changes the more they evolve.

Royal family members get the prefix " Thr' ", this prefix is the only one that stays for a whole dragons life and doesn't change. Outside of the capital and its surrounding towns, the culture is very different. Indeed, not only dragons live in Ar'Khos, Mythical beasts also live next to them. Even if these beasts are led by the dragons of the capital and by the dragon king, they have their own specific culture and do not answer to most of dragons laws.

Public Agenda

The Pure Dragons of Ar'Khos are focused on getting dragons to be more powerful than ever, every day that passes the dragons get stronger. Dragons didn't use to live in a society, and this almost caused their fall. But Ar'Khos' focus is to bring all dragons together to create the most powerful kingdom possible.

Assets

Ar'Khos is extremly wealthy. This wealth comes from the legendary 'gold-scaled dragons' that used to roam the world. It was these dragons that founded Ar'Khos and used their scales to make the capital a city of gold and luxury. However, dragons do not own any sort of technology, they esteem themselves too powerful to need any special weapons or equipment. Dragons focus on the raw strengh of their powerful troops.

History

Ar'Khos was created an impressive amount of time ago. Back then, dragons lived alone, isolated. These solitary dragons used to be able to rule over their own territories thanks to their raw strengh for a long time. But the more the other races evolved into getting more technology, the more they struggled to survive. That is when a mysterious organisation called "The Golden Scales" appeared and gathered all dragons still alive to lead them to glory. The Golden Scales founded a kingdom on unhabited lands, far from the continents. They named the island and their kingdom "Ar'Khos" in honor to their leader that had the same name. Ar'Khos then founded a family in the kingdom and his descendents become the royal family. Thanks to The Golden Scales, dragons slowly regained of their glory. But they were witness to the poor treatment that other mythical beasts like them suffered back on the continent. They were hunted and killed by other races that managed to advance enough in a technological matter. The ruler of Ar'Khos at that time decided to offer the forest moslty unexplored at the south of the Ar'Khosian islands to all mythical beasts in distress. Now, these beasts mostly live in harmony and they have their own culture and civilisations, deep in the woods.

Demography and Population

The dragons own a vast archipel of islands. They were really few when they first arrived, but due to their extremly long longevity and the lack of danger, their population is rising higher and higher every year. With an average 4 baby dragons for only 1 deceased dragon.

Foreign Relations

The dragons live secluded on their islands, trying to avoid all contact. The only contact the dragons have with the outside world is with the economy. They sometimes need ressources only availible on the continent. For that they resign to have diplomatics talk but not for any other reasons.

Judicial Body

The judicial member of the council is in charge of judging crimes from the council itself and from every other dragon. If a crime is too important or if the king wishes so, the king himself can decide of the fate of a criminal.

Executive Body

The military, while not dispatched on hostile land or wars, are used to enforce the laws in the capital and the surrounding areas. The problem is that, the further you go from the capital, the less soldiers there are, causing lots of crimes.
