Demographic

Adolfina is made mostly of beings like elves and humans along with their dragon counterparts. As it is their primary mission to provide a safe place for dragons to live and to stay with the remaining kin. A few other races may be found within the city as well.

Purpose

The city of Adolfina is built upon the purpose of providing a safe haven for dragons, and those that ally with their scaley counterparts, even for the humanoids as well. As such in order to become a citizen/keeper, one must be willing to undergo a spell in which they are not allowed to even speak of the city's location and it's dragons.

Points of Interest

Crystal of Past Events - A magical crystal imbued to retell the history (even though it is very short) of the dragon keepers. It is a huge crystal statue that adds to itself other parts of the story of the city and its keepers in beautiful shapes and forms. From the fall of their Keep in the Spine to their founding, all of it is there. Just follow the statue from left to right and it all will be there.

Commun Chamber - Where the people and keepers vote or discuss certain actions. Such as whether they find someone guilty of a crime, or if they want to impose a tax for example. There is no throne in this room, as there is no need or want for a throne. Just tables, chairs, and an open wall to a courtyard where the larger dragons may partake in discussions. The whole area is illuminated with light illuminating crystals.

Culture/Government

Adolfona is a coty of mixed cultures, as a result of it being a melting pot of many different peoples and species. However speaking of their culture overall, the culture of the city and its people is one of memories and actual auite open in terms of government.

In certain matters that involve the city aka the nation itself the people and the military all will cast in votes. And if someone objects they may speak up and propose another solution. Kind of how ancient romans did so in Athens. As they are a very neutral nation, often times war has never been brought up yet. If the matter arrises it is up to both the dragons and the military higher ups to decide. Mostly because they will not be blinded by blood lust as they have seen combat as opposed to citizens who have not seen combat first hand.

After the attack of their old Keep at the Spine and the survivors arrived at the Isles they starts a yearly tradition where that year’s hatchlings who have learned fo fly will fly around the island in their own. Colored powder is thrown everywhere, feasts happen and a huge celebration is held to celebrate such a joyous occasion.

The Dragons

With dragons around everywhere in Adolfina people might wonder how they support the huge beasts. With a combination of magic, hunting among other things. The Keepers and dragons organized their own hunting parties on the humanoid and dragon sides. Both helping each other. The dragons also are allowed to have their own caves and able to nest anywhere that is appropriate within the city or in the outlying islands that dot the city’s sphere of influence. They are treated as equals a d the dragons treat their humanoid counterparts as equals in term. As both parties help each other in raising their young in a symbiotic relationship.

History

Adolfina was founded as the dragon keepers arrived battered and bruised with a heavy heart to the Isles of Sheketh. Seeking a more isolated place for them to move their Keep to as well as to provide protection from the chaos of the West. Their leaders arrived at the Isles and managed to carve out a safe place in the northern islands. From there they moved their people and the dragons to the Isles via travel or portal stone.

Once everyone was there the process of building a new city started. Using the mountains and sheer seaside cliffs the keepers built a new city by carving out rooms, buildings among other things within the volcanic rock. All the while using magic to control the temperatures and comfort of certain homes and areas, all individually controlled by a mage or a dragon with magic imbued crystals.

For their defenses the keepers used their magic to build defenses from the mountain, the dragons also provide a good defense, as well as the warriors and mages of the Keepers. They also rely on the rocky shores, tides, and the islands' geography as an added defense from ships.
