Dragoria

The Kingdom of Dragoria

Image

The Kingdom of Dragoria was born from the ashes of dragon fire. Refugees from Lothen settled in the vast deserts north of the Lion Mountains—lands scorched by the passage of a dragon during the Second Age. From this hardened beginning, Dragoria grew into a militaristic nation that forges generations of warriors.
