Argia

Argia is a fictional continent owned by Peridots-and-hunter-slimes. It is compatible with AUs and roleplays seeing as there is nothing on it that contradicts canon.
==History==
Between 1,000 and 1,500 years before the events of The Dragonet Prophecy, the island of Argia was founded by a group of Pyrrhian cartographers flying across the sea off the eastern coast of their home continent. They were hungry and tired when, before they could get to Pantala, they discovered Argia, an oasis, a paradise, where they could hide from the death and war caused by politics back on Pyrrhia. Their population of six was far too low to create any sort of thriving community, so they decided half of them would stay on the island, and three would travel back and convince their friends and anyone who would listen to join them. About fifty years later, with over a hundred dragons in Argia, one of the founders began to wonder what was on the other side of their new home. Her five best friends went and flew to Pantala, and realized they were aliens in this strange place, and settled down there for a while. After nearly a decade of living on this lost continent, the six had gained the trust, friendship and respect of quite a few dragons there, and asked if the Pantalan dragons would come to their true home with them. Many, curious, accepted, and together the hundreds of dragons created the Argia we know today, which currently has a population of several thousand dragons.
==Territories==
=== Hivewing/Silkwing Territories ===
The Hivewings and Silkwings share two separate territories, which are overseen by Warden Honeybee and Warden Skipper. One is located on the “head” and “neck” of the Argian Dragon, and one is located on the base of the tail. They are encompassed by vast savannas.
=== Icewing Territory===
The territory is overseen by Warden Borealis, and can be found on the tip of the Argian Dragon’s main “wing”. It consists of a polar desert, with a snowy tundra at the southern area.
===Leafwing Territory===
The Leafwing Territory is on the back leg of Argia, and is ruled by Warden Larch. It is in a dense jungle similar to the Poison Jungle on Pantala, however, the forest is much safer and carnivorous plants are rare.
===Mudwing Territory===
Warden Alligator oversees the territory of the Mudwings, on the back of the "dragon".
===Nightwing Territory===
The Nightwing territory, on the secondary wing of the Argian Dragon, is overseen by Warden Foresight.
===Rainwing Territory===
The Warden of the Rainwings is Warden Capybara, and she oversees the "front legs" of the continent. It is encircled by a rainforest, which is less dense in the middle of the peninsula.
===Sandwing Territory===
The Sandwings are overseen by Warden Cheetah, and live on the tail of the Argian Dragon, in the middle of a large swath of desert. 
===Seawing Territory===
Seawings and their Warden Blue-Rings live in the sea and on the small islands north of Argia.
===Skywing Territory===
The Skywing territory is located on the lower half of the main "wing", settled in a cluster of mountains, and their warden is Warden Kite.
There is also a large expanse of an isle in the middle of Argia that is a central hub for markets, and is not controlled by any Warden. By extent, the area is not controlled by any dragon governmentally, and anyone is free to do whatever they want with the land and build anything they want on it. Occasionally someone or their structure will be reported, the latter for taking up too much space, or for being dangerous, or a number of things, and the former for destroying others' "property" or building something that breaks the aforementioned rules.
==Society==
===Tribe Relationships And Individual Cultures===
Any one dragon is likely to be inclined to the behaviors of their birth tribe(s), for example Mudwings believing in sibling groups and Rainwings not having parents but rather being raised by the entire tribe, but some dragons may choose to be adopted into other tribes. This could happen if a dragon is opposed to the beliefs of their tribe, if they are opposed to the beliefs of the current Warden of their tribe, or if they fall in love with a dragon in a different tribe.
===Wardens===
Wardens are dragons who are assigned to look after their territory and see that their needs and wants are being met. Wardens are chosen by the votes of the people living in and associated with their territory/tribe, instead of by royal blood, and they can resign willingly or be replaced by popular vote (66% of the territory must dislike them). Contrary to Pyrrhia and Pantala, both/all genders can be chosen as Warden.
===Animuses===
The rules for Animuses on Argia are a bit similar to the ones for Icewing and Seawing animuses on Pyrrhia. Like Seawings, all dragonets with animus relatives/ancestors are tested at the age of two. An animus can mostly use their power freely, but must always wear an enchanted item, or simply enchant themselves, with the following enchantment:
"I enchant (myself/this item) so that (whenever I wear it,) I am not allowed to create an enchantment that restricts the free will of others or harms them in any way. If I ever contradict this enchantment, the Warden of my tribe will be immediately aware of the immoral enchantment I created, and I will not be able to create any new enchantments until my Warden pardons me." If the item is a wearable object and not themself, they will add on "I cannot take this item off unless my Warden allows me to."
Additionally, animuses are not required but suggested to create or improve a gift for their tribe or for all of Argia to enjoy. Examples of this include the Argian Train (also sometimes called the Enchantrain, a set of three magical trains with seven cars each and a train track, enchanted by Quickwit the Nightwing to run a certain route all the time everyday without a conductor or fuel. Papaya the Rainwing added another enchantment years later, that each train car has a small dragon-shaped servant carved out of gemstones that brings you whatever you need while on the train), the Bounty of Sunberries (a small bush of berries enchanted by Swamp the Mudwing, just one fruit can completely satisfy a dragon's hunger for approximately 10 hours, and it always regrows the berries no matter the weather or how many dragons used it. The catch? Most dragons dislike the taste), and the Seawebbed Bracelets (ten arm bands that allow the wearers to breathe underwater, they are also enchanted to always return to one spot in the Seawing Territory when a dragon using one says "I am done with your use" and released from the spot when a dragon says "I must use you"). Some animuses make long-distance communication devices for themselves, friends, or customers, like a pair of boards that when written on, scrawls the message onto the other board as well. Rumor has it that an unregistered animus didn't take the enchantment oath, and created spectacles which allow the user to see through the eyes of any other dragon they've met/know about without the target knowing.
===Activities===
Along with Scales-and-squares, a common Argian board game is Claws of Gold, a two-player game. Rules:
At the start of the round, both players start with five dice, five gold tokens, and ten health tokens. One player rolls a six-sided die and chooses which ones to keep. Then their opponent does the same thing. Now, player 1 rolls again, and must keep the remaining dice, player 2 does the same. A Claws symbol removes one health token unless the opponent rolls an Armor, and a Fire token also attacks unless the effect is negated by a Dodge. A Steal Gold symbol removes one gold token from the opponent an gives it to the player who rolled it. After they're done rolling dice, they play out the events (ex. "I steal one gold, my Dodge removes your Fire, and I hit you with Claws since you didn't roll an Armor). Using a Gold token allows the player to add one attack token to their dice or remove a defense token from their opponent's dice, they can repeat this for the amount of gold they have, but using gold tokens is equivalent to the opponent using Steal Gold for the same amount they use. The round is now over, and play repeats for as long as both players have >0 health.
Dragons use one versatile type of checkered board for most of their games (or just play on the ground/a table), while some games require customized boards. Recently a new animus board has came out for Claws of Gold that allows the player to connect with another player using the same model in real time, even across the continent from each other, which is the closest they've come to Earth's multiplayer video games. This method requires each player to have a separate board, and a button press activates it, hooking the player up to any other dragon who has turned on their board. They can view whatever is on the other dragon's board, in a holographic, non-tangible sort of way, and sound can be turned on or off. It has two buttons, power on/off, and record sound/mute yourself. It also has a message screen which sometimes displays flat, tappable "buttons". Obviously, no real/electrical coding is involved, but the enchantment likely went something like this:
"I enchant this board to, when the left button is pressed, change its status from "off" to "waiting for match", and if any other boards on Argia also have the "waiting for match" status, choose a random one and display a message on both boards saying "A match was found". After five seconds, erase the message and change the status to "in match". When the status turns to "in match", allow both users to view the other's board, but not touch the pieces on the other board. When the button on the right is pressed, the other player is able to hear whatever the user of this board says, until it's pressed again. When one player has taken all of their health tokens off of their board, display a message on each saying "Play again?' with two options: yes and no. If no, set status to "waiting for match" and leave match. If yes, display a new message, "Reset your board", and do not change status. If the left button is pressed while status is "waiting for match" or "in match", set status to "off".
=== Currency ===
Argians seem to use a currency called "Gold tokens", they come in various numbers-1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200, 500, and 1000, if combined they can add up to any amount of money. These numbers are relatively equal to their cost in U.S. dollars, with an apple being purchasable for an amount equivalent to 2 Gold tokens, and 1/2 Gold tokens are rarely used.
=== Events ===
There is only one known holiday in Argia, called Snowfallsfeast. It is celebrated—by members of all tribes, but mostly northern tribes like SkyWings, NightWings, and especially IceWings—on the same day that all winterberries spontaneously ripen in the peak of winter (or the winter solstice). During the day, they gather winterberries and hunt the creatures who would otherwise feast on them, and while some dragons choose instead to eat at home and/or with their families, many of them spend the evening taking part in feasts (hence the name) at the Capital. While it’s mysterious enough that the berry-ripening and winter solstice both happen on the same day, very nearly every Snowfallsfeast has been held the day after a snowfall.
While no other celebration has been mentioned, the tribes do have seasonal holidays, including one for the first new leaves after winter, one for the last harvest, and one for midsummer.
