Dragoonios

Dragoonios is the Capital of The United Crowns of Syltor and The Kingdom of Lennox.

Dragoonios was founded in March 2021, exact dates have been lost to time, however it is estimated to be around the 20th-25th of March. Founded by Buzzb and 3 others (Sans_Liga, Kingshadow and unknown), it was created as its own independent city state after gaining independence from the Sterling Crownlands. Dragoonios is well known for its architecture and high levels of development due to excellent transport links with cities around Yulara and the large bazaar street.

Overview
The architecture of Dragoonios is of an Egyptian and Greek style, with some influence from tuscan architecture. The city has two large streets those being the Temple Street and the Bazaar street, with each one approximately 150-200 blocks in length with a 9 block width. Multiple smaller roads and bridges connect the 3 areas of Dragoonios, those being the City of Dragoonios (original founding area), The Bazaar and the East Bank. The Bazaar and the CofD are separated by a semi artificial moat, that originally being a grass ditch in the desert. The city is quite large in size and is of a similar size to other cities in the region such as Auron's Peak and New Dorasterrock.

Famous buildings include the Lennox House of Light (Lighthouse), Pharoah's Pyramid, The government building (served as the template for the rest of the city), The great library of light and lux, the temple and the honeymoon house.

House of Light
The Dragoonios House of Light is the central structure of the Dragoonios skyline, at one point being the tallest building in rathnir. The builing serves to guide sailors into the harbour, and is very much symbolic of the Kingdom of Lennox's spirit. The fires at its zenith are lit permanently, being doused only in times of great national mourning. Examples of this dousing include during the 3rd Bardonian Empire's invasion of Lennox, the death of Pharaoh Buzzian Philoraptor and the death of his successor, Sirius I.

Dragoonios Temple of Lux and Tenebris
The Temple of Lux and Tenebris sits at the center of Temple Street, the central road of westbank Dragoonios. The cite dedicates itself to the two Luxite gods, and had undergone multiple renovations under Pharaohs Sirius I and Petro Aeltivira I. A sacrifice in celebration of the Kingdom of Lennox's anniversary led to the bestowal of a blessing of light from Lux, which hovers above the central gate. Primary architects of the Temple include Buzzian, Spyral and Sirius, in total the Temple has gone through 5 distinct design phases.

Undercity
The Dragoonios Undercity is a collection of subterranean dwellings and facilities directly below streetlevel that encompasses every part of the west bank. The area is exceedingly old, with some hidden buildings being continually rediscovered over time by other citizens with little knowledge as to who had originally built them. Many locals report mysterious occurrences here, such as disappearances and new rooms appearing overnight, disappearing soon after.

The undercity itself is fairly humid. This is due to the prevalence of hot air from the desert seeping into the city, alongside warm waters from the sea and underground thermal rivers running through segments of it. In summer, this humidity can become stifling, and so wind towers were constructed in areas of the city to trap wind and focus it into the undercity. A series of funnels force captured wind downwards and into an open area of the undercity, where the air can then circulate.

House of Knowledge
The House of Knowledge is a library constructed by Spyral Ulburnr beside Bazaar Street. The institution contains the largest collection of literature publically availiable in Syltor, including published works availiable in no other institution in rathnir.

Dragoonios Museum of Rare and Unique Antiquities
The Dragoonios Museum of Rare and Unique Antiquities is a museum containing items from across Yularan history, such as original tools and items from the Sand Republic, the Battle of Luperkania and others. Some items are direct blessings from Lux herself, such as a Moonstone and a holy arrow bestowed upon Lennox's 1 year (irl) anniversary.

The Dragoonios Market Complex
The Dragoonios Market Complex is a new constuction housing all shops in Dragoonios in a single space for ease of use. It can be found directly south of the Dragoonios Statue of Lux.

Memorial Isles
The Memorial Isles are floating islands west of the Dragoonios West Wall constructed by Pharaoh Petro Aeltivira I to commemorate notable leaders and citizens of Lennox over its history. There are isles dedicated to Sirius I, Pine N'Ardak-Ipops, Buzzian Philoraptor, Spyral Ulburnr and others.
