History
According to legend, the fortified city of Krell owes its existence to Karennar, a golden half-dragon born of the union between the legendary dragon Shannar and human Karelia. Karennar's vision was to create a bastion capable of defending the peninsula of Draconis from the dangers of the surrounding barrens. As a result, Krell has embraced a militaristic cultural system, with a strong focus on defense and protection. Unlike their Bahamutian counterparts, the people of Krell view their military as guardians rather than aggressors, dedicated to safeguarding Draconis from external threats.
