== Government ==
=== Pantalan Confederacy ===
The Pantalan Confederacy is a union of the Leafsilk Commonwealth and the HiveWing Queendom, instituted in 2138 AS to allow for unified policies on intercontinental trade, defence, and foreign relations. Internally, the confederacy manages the Pantalan currency (scales) and programs to preserve national history.
The nations within the union retain sovereignty and may secede at any time. The federal government is relatively weak. While a council of member nations may come to agreements, the individual nations still need to implement these agreed standards — the federal government has no means to force this action. The government tends to reach a consensus rather than acting on a majority in an attempt to maintain peaceful relations between constituent nations.
=== Leafsilk Commonwealth ===
The Leafsilk Commonwealth has a central council of 200 elected officials, 100 from each tribe of the LeafWings and the SilkWings. 
* The council must vote a majority to pass any law or bill.
* Councillors are re-elected every five years and may serve up to five terms.
* The council is headed by an elected Chancellor, who may veto laws below 3/4 favorable votes and accelerate lawmaking processes in the event of an emergency.
** The Chancellor is elected from the existing pool of councillors and may serve two five-year terms as Chancellor in addition to the standard five terms as a councillor.
* The Commonwealth prides itself on having an open forum wherein citizens can speak on a proposed law before it is enacted or challenge existing laws.
=== HiveWing Queendom ===
Monarch: Simillima (Simmy), preceded by Queen Scolia
The HiveWing Queendom is a semi-democratic oligarchy. The HiveWing Board is made up of eight dragons plus the monarch. This system allows the queendom to pass laws far faster than the Leafsilk Commonwealth.
* Four board members are selected by the monarch. These board members are often military leaders, nobles, religious figures, or aristocrats with a preexisting political standing. The board members are meant to represent the educated best interest of the queendom as a whole and each individual hive.
* Four board members are elected by a vote in each hive. These board members are meant to represent the will of the people.
* While they retain their royal title, the position of monarch is one with less-than-total political power who acts as a tiebreaker for the board when necessary. The position of monarch is generally passed peacefully along the royal line to direct descendants. However, this position may be forfeited and passed onto the next eligible heir at any time. The monarch may be of any gender.
== Leafsilk Commonwealth ==
Cities and settlements overseen by the Leafsilk Commonwealth.
=== Capriola ===
A Commonwealth town near a series of small waterfalls.
=== Hawksview ===
A cluster of hills with silken webs woven between them, offering a wide view of the savannah and jungle. Home to a large population of SilkWings.
=== Ironwood ===
A small encampment of revolutionary LeafWings, based out of the old PoisonWing settlement.
=== Ivy Glen ===
A mid-sized town located on the outskirts of the Poison Jungle. Mostly populated by LeafWings.
=== Pantalan Fauna Restoration Project ===
A nature reserve overseen by scientists from the Commonwealth, established with the goal of helping protect and replenish populations of native Pantalan megafauna.
=== Petiole ===
The capital city of the Commonwealth, and home to the Leafsilk Assembly, Petiole is a bustling city of politics, music, and life. It's one of the most populous cities in the Commonwealth and is home to dragons of all colors and tribes, including Pyrrhians and refugees from the HiveWing Queendom. Petiole prides itself on its diversity, and is one of the primary inspirations for the Free Cities movement in Pyrrhia.
=== Waycross ===
A small, happy town that is partially subterranean, with many houses existing in tunnels below the ground.
== HiveWing Queendom ==
Cities and settlements ruled by the HiveWing Queendom.
=== Bumble Hive ===
Bumble Hive produces leather, wool, and meat for processing in Carpenter Hive by cultivating small livestock herds of megafauna. These include oxen, mammoths, elephants, and bears.
=== Mason Hive ===
The hive is responsible for extracting natural resources, such as clay and stone, and is the home of the primary school of construction, where training for builders and fabricators occurs.
=== Honey Hive ===
With large swathes of the savannah torn up and converted into farmland, Honey Hive produces the vast majority of non-meat foods for the HiveWing Queendom. Due to the harsh and arid land, ground nuts, capsicum, tomatoes, carrots, spinach, and broccoli are the primary crops grown. Orchards growing mango, avocado, pomegranate, lemon, and pawpaw have also been established around the base of the hive.
=== Carpenter Hive ===
A hive serving a dual-function as a large port, Carpenter Hive processes materials imported from the other hives, refining and producing goods to be exported to the Commonwealth and Pyrrhia. Surrounded by a sprawling Industrial District, the hive primarily houses fine craftspeople and the wealthier of the industrial workers, such as factory management and district overseers.
==== Industrial District ====
The Industrial District comprises large, sprawling networks of refineries, factories, and facilities for producing textiles, foods, building materials, and luxury goods. Many of this district's workers live in the hive, but some poorer dragons live in small settlements around the edges, choked by smog and backbreaking work.
== Pantalan Confederacy ==
Settlements and projects managed by the Pantalan Confederacy.
=== Abyssal Archaeological Site ===
An archaeological project focused on unearthing ruins and carvings that depict the history of Pantala.
=== Optera University ===
A centralized school for the collection, documentation, and organization of Pantalan history, political teachings, and arts. Funded and run by the Pantalan Confederacy in an effort to prevent censorship of historical documents and oppression of political information, with the intention of preventing disinformation campaigns such as those run during the reign of Queen Wasp.
The university is free to visit or attend for any residents of Pantala.
=== Port Jitter ===
The primary port sending and receiving goods to and from Pyrrhia. A common stop for HiveWing vessels to trade with the Leafsilk Commonwealth, and the most common reception point of travellers from Pyrrhia. The port was founded by the Commonwealth, and though today it's considered common ground under the Pantalan Confederacy, there is still some speculation about potential undue influence of Commonwealth shareholders.
== Pyrrhian Settlements ==
Settlements established by dragons immigrating from Pyrrhia.
=== Dustbowl ===
A small community of SandWings, SkyWings, and RainWings who are attempting to form a Pyrrhian community on Pantala. Generally in good standing with the Pantalan tribes, as they don't cause trouble.
