Dynatins are a people who live 10,000 ft up on a rock where they have an egaletarian government, their laws are all oral tradition. They have hot gysers that shoot up pools of hot water. The water brings up a dense obsidian sand. They produce a very rare silk that is said to be made by taking the silk from a Queen of the Night Caterpillar though the caterpillars only live for mere weeks if they are not hibernating. They use this silk to make a very strong cloth that gives the same defence as chain mail and is considered light armor. They are self sufficent in everything, they have their own gardens and livestock and they need nothing from the lower lands. When a child reaches the age of 10 they are banished from the city, and can only return if they bring back a trophy from a kill that is worthy of a Dynatin. They have metal javilins that can redirect lightning from a blue dragon. They make obsidian spearheads that are kinda like a prince ruperts drop. The tails are put into the wooden shaft and if broken the obsidian spearhead explodes, commonly this is used to have it explode after it has been inserted into the dragon.
