[center] [b][i]Welcome to the Nautilus![/b][/i] [i]Are you here for our mercenary services? Or perhaps you're interested in our imported wares? Either way, make yourself at home.[/i] [img]https://i.imgur.com/HfVwICl.png[/img] [img]https://i.imgur.com/NbpnvL0.png[/img] [b]ABOUT[/b] This is a Lore thread about a small region called The Cove and its inhabitants. I will be mainly posting the dragon bios I write. My ultimate goal is to give all my active dragons lore in their bios. I don't like writing long form currently, and will be making short blurbs for them. (Who knows, this may change in the future!) I also hope to inspire others and myself to write more, since the blurbs are meant to be concise and be open ended. That said, if you enjoy the Cove's lore, feel free to use them for your own dragon stories.

It is a mainly coastal region, with an abundance of cliffs, canyons, sea caves, tidepools, and to the northeast lie hills and forests. It sees all seasons of the year and endures all weather patterns due to its unique placement near the intersection between the three regions. [/center]

[center] [img]https://i.imgur.com/NbpnvL0.png[/img] [font=candara][size=6][b]Cove City[/b][/size][/font] [img]https://i.imgur.com/NbpnvL0.png[/img] Cove City is a melting pot of various cultures that attract talent from all across Sornieth. Once a humble, tiny fishing village, it is now a sprawling city that is home to some of the most skilled and passionate of dragons. [b]The Floating Bazaar[/b] is the jewel of the city- a massive harbor with a large floating bazaar where dragons can sell wares and services on their own ships or floating shops. Further into the land, past the coastline, Scholars, Engineers, Artisans, and other skilled workers flock to the [b]The Grand Hall[/b] which houses some large Guilds and Schools. Thanks to its proximity with the Ruins, trade route colliding with the Annex, and with accessible tunnels to the deeper Expanse, many dragons settled there to find peers, study ancient objects, and further technology. The City has become a place to find others who share the same professional obsession. But [i]of course[/i], this may also attract troublemakers like the most excellent thieves and the most cunning of con-dragons as well as pirates...

Bickering and haggling of prices collide with the sound of water lapping against the platforms. Merchants, Thieves, Business-Dragons, Pirates, Travelers, and more deal here. Its a port that never sleeps, and it's said one can get almost anything there.... including the shadiest of items and services if you know where to look.

It is a varying degree of comfort, a hodge podge of wood, marble, and many styles of architecture gathered from across the world. Most notably, the engineers of the expanse had outfitted incredible light fixtures, with wires that are said to be connected all the way to the famous spire.

Hermits, Seers, Fishermen and humbler dragons make their abode here and live a simpler, slower life, admiring the blinking of city lights from afar. However, they are a common target of Beastclans for easy pickings, and so, many guards patrol the coastline at all times.
