Every night in the Dragon Nation is a repeat of the same events.
Merchants exert all their cunning to secure business deals that might be casually settled at a small gathering of nobles. Commoners desperately vie for attention, their dream idols perhaps already tired of being played with by merchants. The aroma of dinner from civilian homes, a family gathered around the table, is a scene desperately yearned for by demi-human slaves toiling on the streets. Those slaves fortunate enough to have masters providing them with basic food and shelter are the envy of the homeless, who scavenge through trash bins out of sheer hunger.
In this dog-eat-dog world with a strict social hierarchy, this is Dragon Nation after centuries of class solidification.
However, tonight, everything will change.
