Kingdom of Salardia
The icy kingdom of Salardia is home to the remaining dragons and dragonborn of The Continent, with its ancient castles that had once held the first dragons being almost frozen over after the last few millennia. Much of the kingdom is empty, with ruins being littered throughout the land. Corpses of dragons can often be found under a layer of snow and large caves, that had once housed said dragons have long since been abandoned. Frost giants now roam the wastes, with the cities being the only safe place left in Salardia. Many have thought of expanding into Salardia, only to find that the land is far too hostile to even traverse, let alone live in. Very few dragonborns have left Salardia because of this, as only the strongest could even escape the kingdom if need be.
There is but one settlement left in the land ravaged by war, Dranocast, the last dragon keep, with the remainder of the land allegedly being cursed by The Last Giant King, which is why the dead roam the land now, avoiding the remaining giants that lurk in the lands that they had once owned alongside the dragons.
Culture
Due to the long living nature of dragons, many remember the time before The Divine Exodus. This means that, unlike many other races, which worship their deities as far away beings looking down upon them, dragons view their goddess, Pyra, the First Dragon, as a prior ruler, especially since her son, Lord Urill-ith, is the current ruler of the land. Much of the giant culture of the country has been lost since the war, with them being on the very edge of extinction ever since.
Assets
Despite the dragons that live here being few in numbers, many that do reside within the halls of the Last Dragon Keep are some of the eldest of their race, being the dragons of myth and legend. Some of these dragons are the oldest warriors on The Continent while also being some of the most powerful sorcerers. Simply put, if they would desire it, there would be very little stopping their conquest, given how the world, even after all this time, contains little that could destroy a true dragon knight, with only the most powerful individuals standing any kind of a chance.
History
The Kingdom of Salardia is one of the oldest civilisations, being founded by Pyra herself, in a partnership with Kathdormar, The First Giant. They lived in peace with their people for many millennia, only for it to all fall apart, resulting in the Salardian War and The Divine Exodus. From this day forth, the giants lost their society here, with the dragons being on their last legs, defeating the only race that could challenge them, but losing much in the process.
