**New Dragonspire**, or simply **Dragonspire**, is the capital End City. Dragonspire is located on a small island in the Dragonspire archipelago. It is far isolated from the Ender Kingdoms. The city is currently occupied by the Nether Empire, who use it as a wither skeleton post.

After their victory in the War of the Ender Kingdoms, the  Ender Watchers founded New Dragonspire as their new base. They named it after their constituent kingdom of  Dragonspire, ruled by Ceris, their founder. The city stored both the dragon eggs and four End Crystals. It is the only point of connection between the End and the other dimensions.

Dragonspire debuted in "Ender Wish". The episode depicted the fall of the Ender Watchers when Dragonspire was conquered by the  Nether Horde, beginning the Nether Empire. The survivors were executed or enslaved. Before she was executed, Ceris scattered Dragonspire's End Crystals across the Overworld.

## Information

New Dragonspire is said to be a flourishing city, with a populace of less than a hundred Enderkin and Endermen.

New Dragonspire's citizens reside in towering end towers of Purpur and End Stone Bricks. It had a command center located in the central towers, with Ceris' throne and a holographic map of the End City contained within, although it is unknown if this is produced by magical or technological means.

New Dragonspire is set on a large End Island, with the Void underneath; the Nether-End Gateway, which is interconnected to the other locations in the Nether Fort and the Far Plains, sits on the northern edge. The ring of End Crystals are located near the city, so as to power and sustain the city and the Ender Dragon.

## History

The War of the Ender Kingdoms was instigated by the  Void Kingdom's conquest. In several years, the Void Lord had conquered all but three Ender Kingdoms. Ceris, ruler of  Dragonspire, the kingdom of the Dragonspire archipelago, formed an alliance with the  Dragon Tower, the Endstone Deltas, and the End Witch Coven known as the

### Early History

In the words of the Ender Watchers, New Dragonspire was named the Capital of the End realm following the War of the Ender Kingdoms.

To outsiders, this was presumably for its size and strategic location: the Capital was located near the End Crystals, and so could be defended by the Ender Dragon, and was located before the Ancient Portal, allowing for mass, transdimensional transportation of battalions and troops.

After New Dragonspire was allegedly proclaimed the Capital, it began to grow in population and became the location of the End Matriarch's throne, becoming the epicenter of the known End.

However, with the reveal of the *War of the Ender Kingdoms (Series)*, the credibility of its status as the 'Capital End City' has thus been ruined. It was revealed the Ender Watchers instead isolated in New Dragonspire, cutting off all other Ender Kingdoms in the process. The Overworld populous are likely in the dark to the truth, and may remain so for a long time...

### Ender Watchers' Execution

*See Also: Battle of the Far Plains*

In Cold as Ice: The Remake, after the Battle of New Dragonspire and the Horde's acquisition of New Dragonspire, Naeus and Kralos arranged a mass execution of the survivors of New Dragonspire. Ceris and a dozen Endermen were captured and brought before a guillotine. After this, Ceris was beheaded on the stage by Naeus and the Endermen by Kralos. This execution officially began the Horde's occupation of New Dragonspire.

Later, after Naeus' defeat at the hands of the Frostbourne, New Dragonspire continued to be occupied by the Nether Horde. It was said by Rainimator that the Horde didn't bother conquering the other End Cities as they already controlled the point of command.

## Residents

As of Ender Wish, most, if not all, residents of New Dragonspire were killed in battle against the Nether Horde. Before that, however, the residents consisted of:

* Vordus, the Dragonseer. †
* Ceris, the Ender Matriarch. †
* Zeganirn, the End Dancer. †
* Ender Dragon. †
* Other Endermen (few survivors)
* Gwendolyn (possibly)

After the conquering of New Dragonspire, Ceris was imprisoned and was executed from beheading later in Cold as Ice: The Remake, while the Nether is dominant over the End. The Nether now partially reside in the area they have claimed:

* Naeus, the Nether King (Conqueror)
* Kralos, the Wither Knight (Overlord)
* Order of Nether Assassins † (presumably)
* Other Horde troops
