Kingdom of Drakesmark

The kingdom of Drakesmark traces its history back to the settling of the moons in 0 A.E. Drakesmark is where the surviving dragonborn of Makorr chose to settle after the battle against Hoshek and its forces. The kingdom has remained independant until it was colonized by the Empire of Planaria in 440 A.E. The kingdoms capital is the twin cities of Emerald Mons and Argent mount, beneath which slumbers Silverspine, the ancient silver dragon that has safeguarded the dragonborn of the moons since they were tribes on Makorr. Since the collapse of the empire, the Kingdom reclaimed its independance, though the northern tip is still in the hands of Planaria, and is known as Mansreach. Today the two enjoy an unsteady alliance against the Corvidian colony to the east.

#### Settlements

The dragonborn of Drakesmark live in the lava tubes and hollowed out interiors of the extinct volcanoes on the western horn of Tophet. The known settlements are:

##### SCARLET MONS

Like all the Dragonborn settlements, it is named for the mountain it is carved from. has a lower amount of inhabitants than the joint cities of Emerald Mons and ArgentMount, but has the highest population of any single mountain. Has developed new farming techniques that allow a greater area of the volcanic plateau to be farmed, thus making Scarlet Mons one of the richer cities of the Dragonborn. Traditionally home to the red dragonborn tribe, today the population is more mixed and even includes some humans

##### AZURE MONS

Home of the blue dragonborn tribe. Infamous for hosting illegal farms of the hallucinogenic greencap fungus. The gangs that deal in this fungus bribe the city Mayor and their activities are thus ignored. From Azure Mons the greencap is smuggled all across the four moons and sold illegally on the black market

##### IVORY MONS

Home of the white dragonborn tribe. Ivory Mons is a major staging point for Drakesmark and Planarian military forces heading into serpentinia to combat the Corvidians. The otherwise quiet town is none too chuffed about being at the center of all this unpleasent hustle-bustle all of a sudden

##### TWIN CITIES OF EMERALD MONS AND ARGENTMOUNT

Home of the green and silver dragonborn tribes respectfully, the two cities have grown so large that their tunnel system has merged together, Effectivly making them one settlement. Together they form the capital city of Drakesmark, though the seat of the Speaker of Silverspine (the ruler of Drakesmark)lies in Argentmount, the wealthier of the two cities. While once directly ruled by Silverspine himself, they great dragon has since retired from mortal affairs, leaving the speaker (a herreditary position) to rule in his stead. Thecity is currently digging a canal to the west in order to have more direct access to a spelljammer port.

##### BRONZEMOUNT

Bronzemount is the home of the bronze dragonborn tribe. This settlement is on the smaller side, and much of the mountain is not carved out. As bronzemount is one of the cities with weaker defences it is frequently subject to raids by the Dominion of Dragons, though it has begun beefing up its defences in response to this

##### GOLDMOUNT

Goldmount is the ancestral home of the Gold dragonborn tribe. The leader of the gold dragonborn tribe is corrupt and has connections with (insert evil group here)

#### Human Settlements

there are also a number of human settlements in Drakesmark, most prominent of these being Argentport, the small town being constructed at the mouth of the massive Westslate Canal, which is still being dug. the canal will allow for spelljammers to sail right into Emerald mons and make trade with the twin cities easier. Argentports task will be to oversee spelljammer landings and departures.
