Altuet is a small earthen village undetected and perched in the cliff-ridden valley between the two great mountains. Streams and waterfalls rush all over, leaving a never ending hush of nature whispering into all people of the valley. The population of Altuet is 200+, with traders often visiting for it’s good metals and interesting native plants that offer interesting yields. The town could grow and expand to new limits, but the people are humble, and choose to keep their home as it is. Those who wish to move to greater heights generally are encouraged to travel, but are expected to come home.
The land which Altuet inhabits is dominated by dragons. The people worship most of these dragons for their godlike powers and mystique. These dragons do not associate with humans, and the more important a dragon is to nature and the other dragons the more aggressive they are. Though, as there are classes with humans, there are classes amongst these dragons. The lowest dragons are those who are small (roughly one and a half meters tall and three meters long, when the great dragons can be the size of mountains). These tend to be looked down upon by even humans, but are generally avoided for they are still feared in a sense.
No dragon can die of illness or old age, but all dragons can die of external influences such as attacks from other creatures. Mostly all dragons are hundreds to thousands of years old, and their eggs take at least a hundred years to hatch.
Back to the village, the occupations are that of any small village: the blacksmith, the farmers, the hunters, miners, etc.. The traditions are very close to family, where the leader(s) of the household will operate the business, and those who need workers typically pull from their family first, then offer work to others who need work. The mines are the largest business, giving work to a large portion of the people, and owned by one person. One of the other successful businesses belong to the Vieves’. Azusa and Hakeem Vieves are both botanists who provide the village with many hard to find plants, and make medicines and drinks out of mostly everything, making them strong partners with the town’s doctors. They’ve chosen their first born daughter, Zora, as their apprentice, and she has received in-depth knowledge of all things plants from the day she turned eight.
Now, Zora is growing into a young woman, and her curiosities have grown beyond plants, and she is far more interested in the dragon lore of the town.
For this roleplay, I’d like to keep the characters mostly teenagers or young adults as cohorts with Zora,(me;0) but there is really no restriction on who you can be. I’d also like it if there could be a dragon. Not a great dragon, but one of the smaller dragons, to keep everyone generally on the same level (but if you've got a good idea for a big ol dragon than u do it). These kids can be of any family which you choose, feel free to come up with a profession which their family runs. In terms of characters I have a simple sheet you can use to tell me all I need to know. Questions are also welcome!
