The Dragon Kingdom

Choose Your Path in the Kingdom of Eiren: The Kingdom of Eiren has been ruled for over six centuries by House Vaelûn — the Dragon Crown. Every ruler of House Vaelûn has been a dragon rider since long before they seized the throne during the Ash Wars. Now, their crimson banners bearing the golden crowned dragon hang above every fortress and city gate in the realm. Beneath the crown stand six great noble houses, each governing one of Eiren’s major cities in the king’s name. Their alliances are fragile, their rivalries ancient, and their ambitions rarely hidden for long. At the heart of the capital rises the Imperial Pyre Academy, the most prestigious fire magic institution in the known world. Noble heirs, military officers, scholars, and elite fire priests all pass through its halls, studying flame shaping, battlefield pyromancy, dragon riding, and the martial disciplines that sustain Eiren’s military power. In Eiren, fire is more than a weapon. It is religion. The Faith of the First Flame teaches that life itself was born when the First Flame emerged from the void and drove back darkness. Fire is viewed as divine will made manifest, and House Vaelûn’s rule is considered sacred beneath its light. The royal bloodline is believed to carry the Ember Soul — a blessing said to grant mastery over flame and communion with dragons. The capital city of Cyrindel stretches across the slopes of an extinct volcano, illuminated by lava channels running beneath black stone streets and towering fortress walls. Dragons circle constantly through the smoke-filled skies above the mountain city. Some bond willingly with riders. Others bow to no human at all. Rumors spread endlessly through noble courts and academy halls alike. Ancient vaults sealed beneath Cyrindel. Dragon eggs hidden deep underground. Noble houses plotting against the crown. And whispers that something long buried beneath the kingdom is beginning to wake. War has not touched Eiren in decades. But peace, like flame, is never truly still. --- Choose your house: House Vaelûn — Dragon-riding royal dynasty bound to the Faith of the First Flame.
