Dragon's Perch

Dragon’s Perch is a major city in the region of Druk Yul in Eldham. It is located on the northwest coast of the former nation, along the Illystria Ocean. Dragon's Perch is now a province within Uraka, and serves as a highly active and populated city.

Origins
During the First Coalition-Ellysian War, the Drakean soldier DireWolf constructed a fort deep within Elysian territory aptly named Dragon’s Perch. This was used as a staging ground for what would become The Battle of Lichterfelde Following the war, Direwolf founded the town as a sister city to the capital of Dragon’s Point. Dragon’s Perch quickly grew into a city home to many prominent and influential users on Eldham, eventually situating itself as the capital of one of the four provinces in the widely expanding Druk Yul Nation. Despite this success though, it would struggle through many controversies.

Conflict

 * For the first few months of Eldham’s history, Dragon’s Perch cemented itself as a powerhouse of trade within the continent. However Direwolf’s frequent run ins with the bandit lords of Eldham led to near constant raids of the Merchant District.


 * The Eldham Trade Company (ETC), a colony of Bardonia attempted to bully the markets of Eldham into shutting down in order to create a monopoly over the continent. Their policy of gunship diplomacy and involvement within the Horse War nearly sparked the first intercontinental war in the history of the server. Following what was at the time the largest military turnout in the history of the continent, the ETC was dissolved, marking the end of the First Market Crisis.


 * An attempt to overthrow Direwolf, and reestablish the city as an independent bandit hub was made but ultimately failed.


 * Following the Second Market Crisis, an exodus of the top leaders in Druk Yul meant that the former major power was placed in a very weak position.


 * Following the War of the Black Flag, Druk Yul was annexed by the Uraki Imperium, marking a period of relative inactivity and disrepair for the city.

Renaissance
Under the leadership of Emperor Cosmos, the city has experienced a renaissance of development and prominence within the Imperium, finding itself as a stronghold of the northern territories, conducting frequent attacks on bandits within the nether. Dragon’s Perch is dominated by the sprawling walls of its fortress protecting the intricate and expansive city below, and serves as a beacon of Drakian (Druk Yul) culture.
