Wyverndom of Malachite

The Wyverndom of Malachite is an absolute monarchy, led by a Wyvern, inhabited by the Dragon-Born, located on the western central continent of Irystoia, in the north of Xrayven, nestled on the two banks of the estuary of a river that crosses the whole continent. The Wyverndom of Malachite isn't the single one of its kind, having a brother Wyverndom, that of Wyverndom of Crusyra, but it's widely considered as the home of the Dragon-Born. It's comprised of the Wyverndom itself, and the Wyrmdom of Donslau, a region that united with the Wyverndom approximately 100 years ago.

Etymology
Wyverndom is a specific form of leadership, commonly found only in dragon born space, akin to a king. It refers to the ancestors of the dragon born, being wyverns, a type of dragon, which had wings instead of frontal claws, but due to intermingling with humanoids, the dragon born came to be. Malachite is a rare stone, commonly found in the area of Shachuna, and is associated with the ruling family of Wrynite, which traditionally came to prominence through the exploitation of the Malachite in the area.

Pre-History
The area currently inhabited by the dragon born, was a nesting area of Wyverns. It is unknown when, but a group of nomads, came to the area and settled somewhere south of Shachuna. They quickly become the prey of the Wyverns, the men who resisted being devoured whole. The women were kept as pets, and soon, the first of the dragon born came to be. Over time, as more intermingling happened, and as Wyverns began to die out, their offspring, the dragon born, had more and more humane features, shedding the old wyvern wings all together in the favor of the more nimble human hands.

Early History
The early history would be consecrated by creation of the early wyvern states and the massive elven migrations and raids. The elves would discover massive malachite deposits under Shachuna, and would attempt to mine the rare ores. This would spark conflicts over the area between the elves and the dragon born, the natives fighting tooth and nail for their ancestral land against a foe, which at the time, was more technologically advanced. Massive genocides, complete destruction of towns and villages by both sides would bring an ardent hatred between the two, eventually culminating in the "Clash of Clannite".

The Clash of Clannite
The battle which became known as "The Clash of Clannite" would begin as a mere elven incursion in the area of the town of Clannite, situated north of Shachuna. The dragon born would put up a stiff resistance against the invaders, holding off until they could be reinforced. The reinforcements would come from Shachuna, and would also sport a clan of Donslanite archers which came as volunteers from the town of Donslau, east of the region. The defenders, now with help, would ultimately decimate the invaders, who kept attacking until the last elf. The town would be ravaged by the veracity of the attack, but also by the desperate defense employed by the dragon born. The battle ended with the destruction of Clannite and with the beginning of the eradication of the elves.

After the "Clash of Clannite", Shachuna would see witness the most brutal reality of this world, having spectated a bloodbath which unfolded right in its backyard. This would be the pretext in which, Lyako Wrynite, the most rich and important dragon born in Shachuna, would unite the locals and form the Wyverndom of Malachite. His first act was to introduce racial laws which targeted the elves, the elves being hunted indiscriminately until extinction, resulting in the complete eradication of the local elven populace. The laws, interestingly, are kept in place, even to this day.

Donslau Unity
Approximately a century ago, after the death of Vaatman Arezzite, the Wyrm of Donslau, a succession crisis would be triggered. This would in turn make Lyako Wrynite intervene and instal its own candidate as Wyrm of Donslau. While this would spark some revolt from the ruling nobility, the people welcomed the Malachite soldiers with open arms, and quickly accepted their new overlords. Donslau was, as such, integrated into the Wyverndom, the position of Wyrm of Donslau still remaining in use today.

Recent History
The past 100 years have been regarded as uneventful, other than the recent massive migrations from "the Comet". These migrations have been welcomed in the dragon born circles with mixed feelings. Some believe that the already tainted dragon born will have their purity muddled, sticking to the racial laws against elves, and pushing for an extension of them, while others hope to learn from the migrators, and to converse with them on equal footing.

Another issue faced by the Wyverndom is its "Frontier". The region of Donslau has faced major migrations, with foreign peoples and displaced natives passing through and/or disrupting/harassing the local garrisons. This has resulted in a growth of military personnel in the area, coupled with attempts being made to communicate with the locals.
