The Founding of Dragoria
FoundingIn the scorched lands beyond the Lion Mountains, inhabitants resort to raids for survival. Queen Aryan Whiteshield of Lothen declares the "War of the Mask" to halt the raids. Led by Denethor Kran, they repel the Lothenian army, earning him the title "Dragon Mask." Denethor establishes laws reflecting their new identity, assigning ranks based on skills. Men and women become hunters and raiders under Dragoria's reign, with the custom of "Dragaro" for electing the new king, eventually separating from Lothen.

The Lion & The Mask
Diplomatic actionIn 1000 AC, king Gothar Breym receives a request by Norionor Whiteshield of Lothen to unite Dragoria with the kingdoms of men and join the “March of the Lion”. The king refuses the call, draws his armies back and fortifies the Dragorian cities, leaving the southern armies exposed to the hardness of the desert. Norionor Whiteshield does not wish to lose time and units by attacking the cliff cities of Dragoria, or exhausting his forces in the red desert and thus, he skips the country and heads directly to the Freelands.

Shelter for Magic
Civil actionIn 1114 AC, king Lerko Kien of Dragoria provides refuge to users of magic that have been outcast or hunted down due to the Prohibition of Magic that forbids the practice and use of magic in many parts of Central Vitallia. Many magic users find shelter in the cities of Dragoria, well protected and out of the reach of the Runic Knights of the north. To return the favor, a wizard named Josem Gerswing creates the Gerswing Gem, a magical item of protective nature and offers it to the king of Dragoria.

The Battle of the Wave
ExpeditionKing Ethan Ororo of Dragoria, also known as the Sea Dragon, builds the “Black Scale Fleet”, a large number of war ships that raid the shores of Exotia and the islands of the Trident Empire. The Dragorian fleet earns a reputation among pirates, causing reactions that soon lead to naval conflicts around the Siria and the Eidon sea. The Dragorians managed to captivate several small islands and posts of minor importance but only temporarily. In 1853 AC, they meet a crushing defeat in the “Battle of the Wave” when almost all of their fleet was destroyed by a huge wave, most likely summoned magically by the elves of Exotia, ending the naval expeditions of Ethan Ororo for good, as well as his life.
