## History

The Kingdom of Draxos features some of the harshest and most complicated political landscape in its history as the current circumstances are widely misleading and unintuitive.

### Republic of Draxos

The nation was once a full republic, the first democracy on the continent, governed by a senate and a chancellor. The union of dragonkin has for a long time been controversial due to superiority complexes, old conflicts, and conspiracies of the annexation of land belonging to dragons and kobolds.

Multiple separatist senators worked for independence and even schemed a grand conspiracy to assassinate the republican chancellor in order to drive forward their ideal and set a new chancellor as a proxy. Yet when things turned bad, it got worse. Far worse.

### The Umbra Tyrant

A new ruler rose; a dragon so large and powerful, it slaughtered and sacked the capital alone. They claimed the title of Sovereign and the republic fell into the claws of the Umbra Tyrant.

The Umbra Tyrant was unimaginably cruel and gluttonous for power. Upon the consumption of the flesh of blood of their dragon brethren, it grew in size and power, so powerful in fact that it grew multiple heads in order to sustain itself. Thus a regime of ethnic cleansing against dragons began as they became the sustenance of the tyrant. It kept itself sequestered in the Hall of the Ecplise, the largest built structure on top of Eclipses Fang Mountain, where it was said that in dragon form, each head could barely fit in each of the large halls of the temple.

Decades passed, foreign powers dared not to intervene and the population of the dragons reached alarming levels. Then, a miracle happened; Tyxal of Cyphion the Draconian and Rylax the Dragon had a special bond which they sealed together through the sanguine connection of draconic blood magic, they were the first Dragonriders. Together they formed a rebellion against the tyrant with any dragon and rider who were willing to bond their blood in order to fight to horrors of their oppressors. And they succeeded in the end. The specifics on what and how it occurred are debated by historians.'

### Formation of a kingdom

Tyxal took the name Cyphion I and Rylax became Zymereinax the Great, two kings who would help and rule while rebuilding everything that was broken, including the old government. The initial intention was for the two, as popular and charismatic leader figures, to only take control until the new republic had been formed. However, as they proved to be extremely popular, the new governing body favored for the dual monarch to still rule under a constitutional monarchy as the Dragon Riders in the Draxian army formed.
