Dragite

## Game information

There only exists mining towns on this planet, a strange creature was discovered in the center of the planet that replenishes the ore and quartz the planet has. This means that there is a nearly endless supply of metals, in theory. Though yearly use is still an issue when trading is involved.

## The Unseen Age

Strange Phenomena of this world were always declared as a blessing. The mines of Dragite never seemed to run out of ore, the Dragites would always find more and more even in spots where they already dug. For years these people worshiped a God they called Origin, the god of Mining, very often praying to the heavens for him to bless the lives and health of their families, or even their cities prosperity.

Because of the abundance of Ore and resources, there was not a lot of infighting or wars, most cities kept to themselves, choosing their leaders by whomever found the rarest ores, or who had the best ideas. Until one day, a Dragite known as Earl Goldenclaw found a cave leading deep into the planet's core. This is where he found the actual reason for why the planet kept regrowing its ore. A strange elemental creature who lived in its center.

This Creature became the God of Mining itself, Origin. One they found this creature, others attempted to find the cave to see it again, but could not. This caused quite the stir in the Dragites world, but instead of turning on each other, they became even more unified, and elected Earl Goldenclaw as their Theocratic Leader. Since then, others have seen the creature, and have become the leaders of their time. These days people only look for the creature whenever a new leader must be chosen, in a ritual called the Cave Pilgrimage.

## The Dragites

These stout creatures grow no more than 4 foot 8 inches tall. Dragites all tend to be wide and burly, males with lush flowing beards, and women with very long hair. They keep their hair and beards very cleaned and well kept. These creatures enjoy toiling away, crafting, drinking, and partying. They are extremely pious, and all of them are worshipers of Origin, though when it appears in front of you it is quite impossible to not be. Some Notable Dragites are:

Grog Ironhammer: The Space Union Dignitary from Dragite, who is usually the financial advisor on the council, when the Alpha Sector is running low on resources he will always be ready to procure these resources.

Thork Silverstocks: He is the current Seer and Theocratic Leader of Dragite. He saw Origin some 15 years ago during the Cave Pilgrimage. He has brought many festivals to the peoples of his planet.

Irnoth Platinumthreads: The Lead crafter who has been running the Dragite Craft Menagerie every year for the last 10 Years. She is known as one of the premier crafters on the planet.

## Entertainment

There are tons of fun activities to do while on Dragite. With their society having only small wars, mostly with the Skaagal, and that was only recently. The planet has a robust arts and entertainment industry. However, you should always visit one of Dragites famous taverns. They have perfected some of the best and cheapest Ales and Grogs this side of the galaxy.

You could also go on a Cave trip, this is meant to simulate the Cave Pilgrimage. These are available year round, but during Origin fest, they hide a statue of Origin in the caves and the one who finds it becomes the Festival King. Not to mention the foods and other activities during the Origin Fest.

If you love to craft, you can join in on the Craft Menagerie, held every year. Contestants choose a craft and compete against others to make the best craft they can. For this competition, awards are given out for Uniqueness, Style, Quality, and Value. This is an excellent time to pick up some very high end Dragite equipment.

The Seeing Stones also has a restaurant that is famous for its stews, the Lowing Vessel. Founded over 300 Years ago this place has essentially perfected a stew recipe. This is because the people of Dragite will often come to a community place to drink and eat after a hard day's work.

## Origin, God of Mining

The story of this planet's core, also known as Origin, is very mixed. This massive golem was so big that it was actually able to pull in stardust and space debris, forming a planet. However, this caused a significant amount of pressure to it, and he was forced to absorb all of it.

Origin, in order to keep from exploding the energy, first tried to escape the tomb made by himself, but this only caused massive rocky hills and mountains to appear on the surface. He tried this for almost a thousand years, until he sensed life on the planet. How could he kill the life he had essentially created.

Since he was an Ore golem, he quickly realized that he could release the ores grown on him, into the planet itself. This worked for a while until the hills and mountains were completely full of valuable minerals. Again he was stuck, until he noticed that the life he had spared were digging out the ore he had placed, at a quick enough rate, that he was able to replenish them to avoid turning into a molten core like any other planet. This symbiotic relationship has continued to this day.

He would love to appear to the Dragites, but if he moves too much the planet could crumble. So instead he always keeps a cave unlocked that will lead to his home hoping that the Dragites will come see him. And this they do, frequently enough for Origin, that he remains content.

## Excellent and Cheap Eats

Making food and drink is a craft like any other, and there are loads of Dragites who are excellent at it. One such dish is the Day’s End Stew, a classic staple in every Dragites life. The people of the planet learn to make this as they are growing up. With underground Rotia, a grayish brown root vegetable, and a flavoring Crystal, you place any kinds of meat and other veggies in a massive pot simmer until it comes to a light boil and serve. The Flavor Prisms are often used in Dragite Dishes because it enhances the flavor profiles of the dish it is in.

The grog and ale made from the massive hops forms on Dragite are brewed to perfection. Nothing is better than coming to a tavern at the end of the day and warming your worn body with some great Brew and Delicious food. Even though Dragite Grog and Dragite Ale are nothing special, its quality, when properly prepared, is second to none.

## The Seeing Stones

Since it is the capital of the planet, they have a church built right into the first cave that Goldenclaw was said to have initially found Origin. This is where people go to worship their God of Mining. This church is also used to hold city and planetary meetings. This makes The Seeing Stones one of the largest and most prosperous on the planet. All imports and exports also leave from this city.

## A Worker’s Life

If you are a miner on Dragite your job is hard, but you only need to work a few days a week. The Dragites wait for the ore to return instead of digging new tunnels. At this point in society the tunnels dug are enough, even though sometimes you might need to work a little over.

On work days miners spend 12 hours in the mines, and then immediately head to the nearest tavern or pub to have a late night party. Generally their family members meet them there. Wives will usually assist in mining or crafting, while the children go to school, it is like clockwork.

The crafters will work on the opposite days of the miners in the same way, having to process the ores and craft tools for the miners during that time. This does mean it is not often that crafters and miners will be close, just because they do not spend a ton of time together. This is good though as families will usually spend their ample time off together.
