New Zealand

New Zealand is the origin of all Dragons. They all share common ancestors that first emerged from the Tasman Sea onto New Zealand. Where it wasn’t the only place where they chose to settle, but it was the one if not the first according to carbon dating on fossils. Because of the wide landscape of New Zealand, countless types of Dragons have evolved to suit those environments. From towering mountains to beautiful valleys, New Zealand remains one of the few countries that aren’t taken over by cities and technology.

There are no massive cities, simply villages that are loosely scattered throughout the land. The natural order is held up above all else, a result of the bloody history that New Zealand was built on. Tradition and history are extremely important to the Dragons in New Zealand, and even when offered to assimilate into Western culture, they rejected it. This includes language and most Dragons from New Zealand speak Draconic. Nowadays, most of the Dragons remain in a human form to make their lives easier, but most Dragons use their form for transportation.

Natives
Dragons make up almost 96% of the population of New Zealand, mostly because of harsh immigration laws that are made to keep the nation “pure”. The other 4% consist of humans. In the 1300s, when the Maori people arrived, the Dragons didn’t attack them, instead, watched them with interest. The people worshipped the Dragons as all powerful spirits, and coexist. Through many years of evolution, hundreds of different types of Dragons have adapted into living throughout the world. Subspecies, such as Wyverns and Drakes, have also emerged as well. While modern Dragons are extremely weaker than their ancestors but are no less strong. Although, a notable change is that most Dragons take the form of humans. The only difference is that Dragons taking a human form have slit eyes and pointy ears. Their scales turn into clothing.

The High Dragon Council
The High Dragon Council is New Zealand’s system of government, led by the head of the Ancient Dragon families. They work to uphold the peace in New Zealand by sorting out issues that come their way. The Council members are descendants of the Seven Dragons that unified New Zealand, originally the warlords of different fractions of the land. However, there are currently Six council members, as the descendants of Taiviot have died out.
