The Empire

The Dragovarian Lord Protector adopts a bright young boy to be his heir and is advised by a council constituted of wealthy and influential dragonborn. Being few in number, compared to the numerous humans of the island chain, they rule where possible through locals. As well, the dragonborn army is majority non-dragonborn. All dragonborn men serve in the military, which is a prerequisite for government service. With the men in the military and occupied by governmental affairs, dragonborn women frequently take the lead in the family's business interests. Preferential tax treatment and granted monopolies have made leading dragonborn families very wealthy. Rulers and others who bent-the-knee before the Dragovar Armada have also prospered.

Dragonborn, Humans and Halflings speak a tongue called 'common'. An archaic dragonborn language is commonly known amongst only scholars and priests.
