Dragon's Crest
Welcome to Dragon's Crest!
A small town newly built in the beautiful lands of Aridia. Like others, this dream-esque small town has had a rough beginning, often the target of bandits, gangs, and even wild animals like wolves and dragons. Wanting to give themselves the best chance at surviving establishment, the townsfolk came together to hire a group of Dragon Riders known as the Shadow Scales.
The Scales were offered gold, silver, and even their own homes within the town of Dragon's Crest if they'll help protect the town from all threats. Known for helping out different towns, the Scales agreed to the offer, and have arrived to the town of Dragon's Crest. Upon seeing the town's beautiful surrounding landscape, the Shadow Scales quickly decide that this will be the place of their permanent residence. Now they've taken up the Mantle of the Town's Protectors, keeping threats at bay while also exploring the surrounding areas and other ways to help their new home.

The Town of Dragon's Crest Dragon's Crest is a small, newly settled town located on a beautiful cliff's edge beside a stream over looking a massive lake that the stream flows into. Behind the town is a lush, green forest that leads to the nearby mountains that surround the area, which also happens to be where a lot of Wild Dragons make their home. The forests are rich with both animals to hunt, herbs to forage, and different resources the town needs, and the lake is full of fish.
The townsfolk themselves had no dragon riders among them when they first settled, which is why they had to outsource to the Shadow Scales. However, the Scales themselves fell in love with the town and it's scenic surroundings, and have decided to join.
The town is just beginning, so there isn't a whole lot of people or buildings there. It does have some basic infrastructure start, such as dirt roads and basic cabin houses for shelters until their actual homes can be built. In terms of other buildings there is a: Town Hall, Small General Store, Blacksmith Shop, Tavern with a Few Extra Rooms, A Small Building for a Doctor, a small building for the school, and then, lastly, the Stables.
The Stables is not a normal one, and it's the building that has been most recently build in order to accomodate the Rider's Dragons. It's a large building, the largest that's been built there and lays to the north east of the building, leaving room for pastures and paddocks to be built for the actual horses in it.
The Townsfolk
The population of Dragon's Crest is pretty small compared to other towns, but that is merely because it's a freshly made town. As it grows, so will it's population as couples form and create life, and others join the town. The following Jobs are available in the town:
- Blacksmith
- Builders [Stonemason, Carptener, etc.]
- Farmer/Rancher
- General Store Owner/Keeper
- Tavern & Inn Keeper
- Doctor
- Stablehands
- Stable Head
- Teacher
- Town Mayor
And then of course theres The Shadow Scales. |

The Shadow ScalesLike many of the people of this times, the Shadows Scales are essentially a group of Rogues, or Nomads, that travel where ever they please, often doing as they please. Unlike the Outlaw gangs of the world though, the Shadow Scales tend to prefer to persue efforts for the greater good, albeit sometimes it's their greater good. Unlike other groups, though, the Shadow Scales do not use horses as mounts, but instead dragons, or, what is known as dragons for this particular universe. They aren't exactly the dragons as we know them, but more so drakes. It's not common for other gangs or groups to have Drake mounts, but it can happen, and the Scale were certainly the most well known exception. The DragonsIt would be more accurate to refer to them as "Drakes" but either works. The dragon mounts for the Shadow Scales are sentient, wingless beasts that tend to be more reptillian in appearance. There about the size of a horse, sometimes a bit larger, and range from about 15 - 20 hh at the shoulder, or 5 ft to 6.6 ft, with their head reaching higher. The Dragons do not have the ability to fly or glide, their movement limited to the ground, as well as climbing, jumping, and swimming. Now, the can be furred or feathered, as well as they can be quadrapedal or bipedal. They come in all sorts of appearances, but the common denominator is they're flightless and around the same height once adults. Dragons do tend to live longer lives, but these dragons are about the same age as their riders, as you can only imprint, and thus bond, with a dragon when it's a hatchling, and its easier to do between a child and a hatchling. There is no special, magical bond, but instead a biological imprint hatchling dragons are able to make on a human. This does mean a dragon usually has only one rider, but it is possible for a dragon with a deceased rider to choose another since they've already been "domesticated". Do not be fooled. The dragons are not domesticated. They are still dangerous.

Name:CthoniaMeaning "from the earth"Age:224 YearsGender:FemaleRole:Rookie Valdaran DragonClass:Earth ClassRider:TBDAppearance:
Credit Belongs to Tenebris Umbra. This was made for me and may only be used by me.
Cthonia is a dragoness destined to be gargantuan, but not necessarily in height, but in sheer mass. Already the female is thiccc, yes, with three c's. Build similar to how a komodo dragon or monitor lizard might be, she isn't the tallest of dragons, only reaching a whole 14 feet if she lifts up on her toes. However, the one thing that stands out, surpassing any doubts her height might have caused, is the sheer weight to the female. Built like a tank, Chthonia has legs thicker than three trunks, and a thick, lizard like body lined with powerful muscle.
Everything about the female is massive. Her feet are wide, with powerful toes designed for digging with their shorter but thick claws. Her foot alone could like span the chest of a human if she splays her toes. Her back feet are bigger, wider than the front, and also longer, offering her a good amount of stability for such a wide frame. It's of obvious note that Chthonia's legs are... rather short. Her fronts are a bit longer than the back, allowing her to stand so that her upper half sits higher than her hind end, but she, like a hippo can, run quite fast considering most of her body mass is muscle. Don't count her out because of her stubby legs. To be stomped by her would certainly mean death, or, at the very least, a significant reduction in the ability to breathe.
She has a wide, barrel chest that hangs lower than her stomach does, making her a virtual bulldozer when she's walking, anything in her path getting easily crushed beneath her enormous weight. Next is her neck, which is hard to put into words. It's thick, and entirely muscle, which explains why she needs such powerful shoulders and such a wide chest to support it. This sheer mass amount of muscle protects the vertebrae in her neck too, supporting it and wrapping it so that it's sturdy and able to handle quite a bit.
Her head is a bit peculiar in appearance as well, having that same monitor lizard like quality. It's almost round or oval in shape with a rather blunt muzzle. Within her jaws are multiple rows of sharp, serrated teeth built for tearing and ripping flesh, able to clamp down with tremendous force because of the sheer amount of muscle behind them. Her nostrils are wide, but she has the ability to close and open them at will, meaning when she's digging or swimming no water can go rushing in against her will. Following the line of her mandible are thick, sharp spikes that curve slightly upwards as they grow, protecting her face and throat from attackers who might think trying to bite her there is a good idea. Sitting atop her head, beginning just above her eyes and creating a thick, keratonized brow bone, are a pair of horns. Not only do they create this thick layer of plating on her head, but they grow into a long pair of thick, sharp horns that grow straight before curving up at the ends.
While all along her body are thick, plated scales that offer protection, she also has short spikes that grow down her spine that are angle backwards slightly. They're not very long, maybe about 5 inches in length, but they will stab or slice if you rub against them the wrong way.
Coming from her wide hips is a tail that is down right intimidating. Starting about the width of her body and only narrowing slightly as it goes, this tail is, like the rest of her, heavy and nearly completely muscle. She can swing it and thrash it with incredibly force and surprisingly speed, and the wrong hit can absolutely be crippling. To make matters worse, as it tapers near the end, a thagomizer grows, size long spikes grow near the tip, all of them about a foot in length. This does make her tail absolutely dangerous, but a bit cumbersome considering she gets it stuck. A lot.
Cthonia's coloring is pretty straight forward, and it's evident at a glance she is an earth dragon. Most of her base scales are a medium, ruddy brown, with her belly scales being a lighter tan color, giving her a rather coppery appearance over all. Upon her scales are different speckles and highlights of a light green color. Her claws are all a deep, rich brown color easily mistaken for black, and her eyes are a similar coppery color to her scales, with a ring of the same green-blue color around the iris.
Personality:Lazy | Loves to Eat & Nap | Territorial | Sarcastic | Not Friendly, but Not Unfriendly | Prefers Her Solitude | Humble | Solid | Steadfast | Reliable to an Extent | Food Motivated
Cthonia is some how both exactly what you would expect from a dragon, and all not rolled up into one. She's a bit of a lazy dragon, having to generally have incentive to do things that don't really interest her. That doesn't mean she isn't a hard worker, the female absolutely is, she just has to be given a reason to work hard. In her mind, why would she waste her energy doing something, especially something she doesn't want to do, if she gets nothing out of it. This tends to be a situation easily remedied though, as the dragoness is highly, highly food motivated. She could be described as almost gluttonous with how much she enjoys eating, and truly, the ranker the food source the better. So simply offering to go hunting for her is likely to pique her interest enough to convince her to do whatever it is that needs doing.
So yes, while the female does enjoy feeding and napping her days away, basking in the sun to warm her scales, she's got a few more layers than that. Truthfully, though, Cthonia is surprisingly easy going for most things. She's not the type to be unnecessarily violent or aggressive. In fact, the only true time she seems to be aggressive is when she's feeling particularly territorial. But even that is rare for the female, as she isn't the type to stress about who is in her vacinity. But when she is? Be careful.
What many might not expect from this more laid back female is that she is incredibly sarcastic. Whenever the dragon talks your sure to encounter more than your fair share of sarcasm. This tends to lead into her not being the most friendly dragon, but she isn't necessarily unfriendly like a lot of dragons are. She isn't going to hiss and spit about someone, human or dragon, being around her, but she also isn't the type to seek out company from strangers. If she does want company she'll seek out someone she knows and likes and can stand to be around. So, in general, she tends to be friendlier than some dragons, but not all of them. In fact, Cthonia tends to prefer her solitude and quiet, and this tends to stem from the fact that she loves to nap. She's down right cranky when her naps are interrupted.
However, despite this, Cthonia is a female who is completely steadfast. She's sturdy and sure of herself, and someone you can count on if she's in your corner. She's reliable in the sense that she will have your back when push comes to shove. Can you rely on her to do tasks that are seemingly meaningless if there's no incentive? No. But if you're back is to the wall, she will be that boulder there to support you. Cthonia is loyal, so if you earn it, she will be there for you.
