Tenria is a land which is ruled by 9 large factions each faction representing a different mythical race with its own unique abilities and among the nine the dragon race was in it's hey days under the dragon empire . The Dragon Empire of Arkon: The mighty dragons lords ruled this kingdom and as I already said this was the most powerful kingdom currently in existence but due to some certain reason like the current dragon emperor being only 20 years old and having reached the age of transformation(there were 3 stages in the life of a dragon 1st one was mana gathering in this stage the dragon babies which were just born were put in a devine flame lotus formed after tempering living gold with the eternal flame for 1000 years .The Dragon babies would consume the flame essence in the lotuses and cultivate a true dragon body beacuse the newly babies had an impure body the needed to be purified from all weak impurities. The babies would kept in this lotus for around 10 years and then released into the world after confirmation that they could now live by themselves because the parents weren't allowed to live with their children so as to make the hatchlings face all the problems themselves . 2nd stage was the transformation stage in this stage a dragon would learn how to use it's dragon flame every dragon had a unique flame with unique properties and abilities .This period was mostly during their age of 18-22 and it would allow dragons to easily manipulate the dragon flames and then be sorted into groups according to the ranks of their flames .3rd stage was the true dragon stage in this stage a dragon would awaken it's other abilities like void traversal and flame purification ,an ability that granted limitless flame power . In this Stage a dragon would also awaken it's soul armor which would protect it's soul from enemy attacks unless the single attack was more powerful than the whole strength of the dragon.The 4th stage know as the dragon lord transformation stage could only be accessed by the dragons with royal lineage.) he couldn't control the different factions rising in his empire,for instance their was a faction which was made up of a mix of Qilin and dragon blood lineages known as the Blood dragon cult was ruling 2 northern border cities of the empire illegally but due to poor management the dragon emperor could only sit ballz.
The power source of the dragons was the Eternal flame core which was beneth their capital city and provided them with their dragon fire.
The dragon empire's armies consisted of the Wyvern riders, the dragonkin warriors and the dragon fire archers but the most powerful group of the army was the Knights of the Crimson Order which was a group of dragon knights blessed with SSS ranked devine super powers and these were not to be found in not more than 30,000 dragons but the race had a population of 9 million .
These knights were trained from the time they were released from devine fire lotuses and we're always ready to sacrifice themselves for the cause of the dragon emperor and the interests of the empire.
The Dragons worshiped an ancient goddess even the strongest dragon god had to worship the ancient dragon goddess,Arkeia according to the holy draconic scriptures she was created from an unknown primordial energy and with that primordial energy she later-on created all the dragons with her energy . The first of the dragons becoming the 9 dragon kings and one of them emerged as the sole inheritor of Arkeia's legacy the chaos dragon but all of their legends perished because a great revolution occured in the draconic cultures and with it the first dragon kingdom also fell but what remained of that ancestral kingdom were the draconic scriptures of Arkeia and the dragons still kept her legend going on as it was her primordial energy that she fed to the eternal flames for the good of the dragons . The legacy of Arkeia also shaped most of the creation myths of the draconic religion even though the current emperor was of no formalities shattering the the draconic religion into pieces which also led to the formation of many other cults.The dragon empire's capital, Draconaria was a place of immensely high temperatures as the city itself was made over a vast volcano type mountainous structure which actually housed the eternal flame and the city over was powered by spatial powers that made the building glow over the eternal flames meanwhile the eternal flames were covered by a temple know as the Temple of the Holy Flame and the entire building itself was made of gold, cosmic jade and yang Iron. The city was protected by an army of 250,000 draconic soilders and the temple and palace alone were protected by the Order of the Crimson kinghts ,even if the whole realm of Tenria had to unite against the dragon empire it wouldn't be still completely sure that they could overcome the capital's defences because the capital itself was built in a completely separate world carved by the remains of Arkeia and in tenria only this world's entrance(a 3000 ft tall gate made of gold and death iron( a form of iron that is filled with deadly energy)) could be found meanwhile the whole world itself was separated from the original world of Tenria so it could be said that the capital had a while world of its own completely different from the outside world. And other than it's amazing defences and location the city was a marvel of architecture with the whole city floating in skies and a thick wall of energy covering the whole city not as a protective shield but instead as a layer of energy that made the temperatures in the city cool even when the temperatures outside the city were mesmarizingly hot . Besides that every building in the city had long and high spires with golden domes and jade towers the palace was sorrounded by 8 fortresses and each fort had golden domes and towers reaching a whopping 1,200 ft of height and the capital also had an embassy of the human kingdom because the Human kingdom of Eleanor also has a family known as the Draconarius family that has an ancient bloodline which was the combination of elven ,human and draconic origins . Originally a human female(from the first humans) married an elf which led to the foundation of a completely new family,the Godswin family whose members could manipulate wooden energy as well as wield angellic powers of human origin but due to some certain events the family was forced to marry an offspring to the dragons for an alliance against some evil race that was invading the human kingdom and some how the offsprings of the latter had mastery over 3 elements of magic by birth wooden(from elven origin) angellic powers(from human origin) and dragon flames(from draconic origins) and this led to foundation of another branch family which became known as the Draconarius family and due to this even though the human kingdom was the weakest among all the other 8 kingdoms that were there on the land of Tenria besides the dragons empire no one dared to provoke them because of their ties with the dragon empire. It was as if the mighty dragons lords were the uncrowned and undisputed lords of the lands of Tenria who ruled with an iron fist because every year the other 7 kingdoms(excluding the human kingdom) would send the dragon lords beauties and haughties as tribute to them even the dragons did not yet control them it was said that once a dragon emperor was in bed with the daughter of the shadow king but the shadow king could only sit nuts while his eyes set on his daughter screaming in pain . The dragons had indeed become cruel in their ways and their arrogance will soon lead to their downfall by the hands of their own allies whom the trusted the most .
