Dassern
Situated on the isolated Isle of Dasseilth on the Castrovin Sea, Dassern is in all effects, a nation of its own. Although recognized as part of Iobaria, the warlords battling over the territory find themselves having absolutely no sway on the island or the city entirely controlled by dragons.
While it can be seen from the coast, with tall, strange, mystical buildings, it's not easily accessible, the only port being well-guarded. It's seen both with curiosity, fright and amazement by the somewhat superstitious barbarians of Iobaria. After all, the Cyclopes that once founded the Kingdom of Koloran did hail from the Castrovin Sea, and this puts a lot of Iobarians on edge.
Still, Dassern is reputed to be the best place to live in Iobaria and beyond, overseen by powerful yet just entities.
Demographics
Approximately 100 dragons, 400 drakhens, 200 kobolds, 200 humans (about half being Tian), a handful of wyvarans, hobgoblins, gnomes...
Government
While it's officially ruled by The Council of Timeless Dawn, the one responsible for managing Dassern is Demros, who acts as the highest, most just, form of official.
Defences
In the middle of a sea, protected by high cliffs and strong walls, not only does Dassern have strong defensive potency, it can also go on the offensive. Many dragons call it its home, and strange, magical device seem to guard the city against incoming attacks and invaders. These have not been used very often, but are a well-known fact for the inhabitants of Iobaria.
Industry & Trade
Dassern is self-sufficient and does not need to trade, but choses to do so with the Iobarian warlords to whom they are allied.
Infrastructure
Dassern lives and breathes magic: most of the commodities and life in general is made easier by magic or a proper application of science and various forms of knowledge. Crops grow well regardless of seasons, food is aplenty, forges can melt the strongest metal and forget stranger even materials. This city and her people could withstand a very long siege, but luckily never had to do so.
Architecture
The architectural style of Dassern is unique, has nothing to do with the Cyclopean ruins or the Iobarian constructions. It is influenced by the Tian who settled here, but was mostly the brainchild of Demros and Nymryrriel.
