History
The Darastrix Isle was unknown to most of the world for a long time, owing to its inhospitable nature. Before The Decline, when giants and dragons were the dominant forces of the world, dragons would use these islands for safe refuge from those giants incapable of sea-faring. There was only one battle fought here between the two ancient races, however it is widely regarded as the bloodiest and most devastating one to have occurred. Long after this, as the smaller races grew in prestige and power, a group of chromatic dragons took refuge on the island, and began what is now known as Darastri .
Tourism
Most tourists come in the form of dragonborn intending to move here, or on pilgrimages. Non-dragonborn are sometimes considered welcome, but with a heavy dose of skepticism on their reasons for coming.
