Geography
Drakoria is a majestic mountain kingdom built into the towering peaks of a vast mountain range so that part of it is underground while another part is in the side of the mountain range; a large portion of the important buildings being kept underground. The kingdom's structures are intricately woven into the rocky terrain, making it into a natural grand fortress with towers emerging from the mountain itself as defences. Above the Kingdom, on the peak of the mountain is the colossal skeletal reaming of an ancient dragon, which the Kingdom has integrated into their Castle overlooking everything below.
Government and Politics
Drakoria is ruled by two twins born from the same parents but different races; Scotty the Dwarf and Fiona the Giantess. Their unique heritage have always been a subject of interest within the Kingdom and those that know of them, however this has never caused mistrust between them. In fact their unity is stronger than ever as they co-govern the Kingdom, combining their diverse perspectives and skills to lead the people better.
Economy
The economy of Drakoria is driven by mining, craftsmanship, and trade. Rich in minerals and precious stones, the kingdom's mines are its economic backbone and they have used it to thrive. Drakoria is renowned for its skilled artisans who create exquisite jewelry, weapons, and items that are wanted throughout the entire world. Trade routes extend through the mountains, connecting Drakoria to neighboring kingdoms and allowing the exchange of goods and resources.
The most important thing they have however is their rare mineral; the Drakorium. A mineral that is not naturally forming but instead created by the Drakoria Kingdom for their own use, and they sell a small amount of it every few years.
Culture and Society
Drakoria's culture has always been a blend of Dwarven and Giant traditions, as the original founder of the Kingdom was in fact a Dwarf that was renown for slaying a mighty dragon; who's skull now lays above the Kingdom. The society values strength, craftsmanship, and unity above all else, strength being a key value in all their people even from a young age they would be more willing to die then submit to someone's will.
Festivals celebrating the mountain's bounty, the ancient dragon, and the kingdom's unique heritage are common throughout the years, and for some they even welcome people from outside the Kingdom to take part in. Music, storytelling, and craftsmanship are integral parts of Drakorian life, with grand feasts and tournaments held in the central plazas that reward great prizes to the victors.

Military
The kingdom maintains a formidable military force, known as the Dragon Knights, composed of Dwarves, Giants, and other mountain-dwelling races that are trained from a young age to be the best of the best. They are suited with the best weapons they can find; armour and weapons carved from the bones and body of dragons.
In order for one to officially become a Dragon Knight within the Kingdom they are required to slay an adult dragon before they reach the age of 16. Once they are able to slay a dragon; they are suited with armor and weapons made from that dragon and granted the right to fight for the Kingdom.
Religion and Beliefs
The people of Drakoria revere the original King of the Kingdom, the Slayer of the Ancient Dragon whose remains dominate their landscape. They do not worship him as a God, but rather respect and aspire to be like him, a man who can stand at the top of the world and fight for what they desire.
