UnassumingCivilian:

*[[Yarius]]: The privileged firstborn son of a privileged aristocratic family of a privileged mercantile city of a privileged booming province. ''Privileged and Spoiled beyond belief, a two sided-blade.''

*[[Enach]]: Venerated war hero from the First Contact war. Hails from a strong military background. ''He didn't come out of the war wholly intact, not in the mind at least.''

*[[Suvas]]: H̶a̶l̶f̶-̶b̶l̶o̶o̶d̶ ̶s̶c̶u̶m̶.̶ Leader of Autonomous Southern States, questionable bloodline but a charismatic man. ''Impure scum. It is a grave insult to claim the throne.''

*[[Unagol]]: Champion of the Plains, rides like the wind and strikes like thunder. Captain of the elite Calvary unit. ''He's good at fighting, I'm not so sure about anything else.''

*[[Quailai]]: Eastern Frontier Lord of Zhengyan Province. A competent and regal man, of mixed but acceptable blood. ''The east is finally making its move...''

*[[Ceanil]]: The common man's hero. The classic rags to riches tale. A humble and hard-working man, despite his newfound status as governor of Raral. ''I heard his brother was arrested for dissent...''

*[[Tembal]]: The youngest sage to ever have been anointed, and of aristocratic blood to boot. Highly powerful, though inexperienced and somewhat naive. ''He's not even 30 yet!''

*[[Heiner]]: Purity beyond purity. Possibly the "purest" in blood, ever. Opposition say inbreeding has made him stupid, but support says he is the strongest man alive. ''R̶e̶t̶a̶r̶d̶ .''

*[[Warick]]: Son of a Pirate Lord redeemed, and a Lady of the Isles, water is his ever-present ally. His participation is somewhat contentious and hotly debated. ''Is he even human?''

*[[Pontor]]: A high priest. Yes, actually. While this grants him great healing and purification powers, it was his pact with an angel that truly propelled him to legitimacy. ''Can he even fight?''

*[[Nemos]]: Honored heir of the enormous Nemen Conglomorate. They have fingers in every pie: industry, magic, agriculture, you name it. ''We didn't sign up to be a corporate state.''

*[[Res]]: The Emperor's own grandson.

Grand Dynasty

UnassumingCivilian — Fri, 05 Apr 2019 04:55:12 GMT

UnassumingCivilian:

In the Holy Thyreon Empire, the Emperor, old in age and on the verge of death has put together his final bid for a suitable heir: An extensive competition to pit 12 contenders of the throne against each other. Only one may achieve total victory and the seat of the throne. Only those of the most eligible, educated, and well trained can even hope to compete.

All eyes will be on the contender's actions as scrying mirrors and other surveillance devices are placed along the Palace grounds. Doing certain things may sway one dynastic branch or government agency to your side. However, the opposite may also occur and alienating certain groups through unfavorable actions may cause them to actively work against you. Here is a list of possible allies and enemies you may gain from your actions:

*[[Royal Palace Guard]]
*[[Thyreon Imperial Army]]
*[[Thyreon Imperial Navy]]
*[[Holy Orthodox Church of Thyreon]]
*[[Aristocracy of the 1st Branch]] (Officially: Blessed Line of the Emperor's Firstborn) (needs work)
*[[Aristocracy of the 2nd Branch]] (Officially: Fellowship of the Second Son) (needs work)
*[[Aristocracy of the 3rd Branch]] (Officially: Unity of the New Triad) (needs work)
*[[Worker's Industrial League]] (needs work)
*[[Establishment of the Circle]] (needs work)
*[[Thyreon Ministry of Civics]] (needs work)
*[[Thyreon Ministry of Internal Development]] (needs work)
*[[Thyreon Ministry of Agriculture]] (needs work)
*[[Thyreon Ministry of Unity]] (needs work)
*[[Thyreon Council of Special Interests]] (needs work)
*[[Thyreon Council of the Other]] (needs work)

Other, unofficial/unrecognized groups of interest may or may not exist with their own interests at heart.

Of course, all of these governmental groups are nigh useless without mentioning the illustrious [[Grand Emperor]] himself, and [[The Empire]] he founded.

Now that you've processed some of the inner workings of the competition, it's time to move on!

Not much is known about the Empire's founder, between laws that forbid criticism of the most Grand Ruler and the long history itself. What can be pieced together from ancient historical documents and court gossip is this:

The Emperor is immortal, or once was. Some dissenters say he made a soul pact with a devil, or his loyalists claim he was blessed by the High God himself. Regardless the truth, what is known is that he was born some thousand years ago. In a much more different age than the one we live in, he brought order and stability to a chaotic region. In his actions, he founded the Empire and laid the groundwork for modern technologies and orders to come.

However, beyond these basics statements, little else is known about the powerful g̶o̶d̶ man. It will be up to you if you want to discover the secrets of the heart of the Empire.

ToI -- The Dragon Master/Ideas for Plots and Stories

UnassumingCivilian — Thu, 07 Mar 2019 02:03:28 GMT

UnassumingCivilian: /* Questions and Answers */

If you have any ideas for plot lines or directions for the Dragon Master story, put them here.

==General Thoughts and Instructions==

'''Basic Story Concept:''' In the Dragon Master storyline, Dragons who visit the human realm are hunted down, captured, and enslaved by both licensed humans (''Dragon Catchers''), by government enforcers (Dragon Masters), and by poachers. At the beginning you are given a choice of gender and race, which... depending on your choice will split you onto one of two main story branches.

If you are ''human'', you are given the choice between being hired to work as a ''Dragon Poacher'' (i.e. you become a criminal), or being hired as an aide to a professional ''Dragon Master'' (think of them as being like special agents of the FBI who are tasked with handling all issues dealing with a specific kind of situation; in this case it's anything to do with Dragons and Exotic creatures) with the goal of becoming one yourself.

If you become a ''poacher'', you try to capture and sell as many dragons as you can while evading the law for as long as possible.

If you choose the path of ''becoming a Dragon Master'' however, you are given various tasks that involve dragons in one form or another, and are tasked with gaining ownership/protective custody of as many dragons as you can in your free time, and then training and/or developing a relationship with them.

''Regardless of which path the player chooses'', they may choose to treat their dragon slaves with kindness or with cruelty, but doing so will have consequences. Ultimately the main purpose of this branch is to focus on the relationships between you and your dragons, and explore how it affects you. Possible endings would include: setting your dragons free, keeping them, dying in various mishaps or getting eaten by one, getting arrested, and so forth.

''If you are a Dragon'', then the storyline is a bit more linear in nature. You go into the human lands hoping to start a new and better life (The Dragon lands are in a state of perpetual famine), get captured by a Dragon Master (and possibly sold to another person), and are tasked with figuring out how to either escape and live in hiding in the Human Lands, befriending the Dragon Master and becoming his familiar, or convincing him to let you go.

'''Theme:''' In the Dragon Master, the theme revolves around and always deals with the relationships between humans and dragons. Whatever you add to the story should involve and focus on that above all else. Themes of Loss, Slavery, Hatred, Love, Revenge, Change, Strength/Weakness, Being Broken, Renewal, and Freedom are also appropriate and relevant themes that can and should manifest in this story as well.

'''Tone and Mood:''' The Dragon Master story is a story that should be well balanced in both humor and soberness. In this time period, Illnora has elements of grim and gritty fantasy in it, but those are not necessarily the only factors that you should consider. Joy and misery should both be present, though the degree to which you emphasize one over the other is us to you. Slavery is a thing in this world, and that does come with horrific treatment from some of the more cruel masters. Do not be afraid to make the horror of a character's actions known. If someone gets raped, touch on the horror and misery of that situation, especially if that is the angle you wish to take.

'''Other Notes''': Golden Age Illnora is a steampunk/magitech world.

'''Above all else, make sure that everything advances the plot and provides character development or fleshing out. Nothing should be done just for the sake of doing it, it must have a distinct purpose in the story!'''

==Possible Storylines==

===Dragon Smuggler===

One storyline could be about being a ''dragon smuggler'', a human who helps dragons escape to humanity and get better lives?

That might be a good angle to explore, possibly would fit best for the Female Human Rouge or Cleric storyline? Might need to think on the specific nature of that kind of plot and how that would interact with the world, but as a rough idea, its a good start. --[[User:Durzan|Durzan]] 01:45, 4 March 2019 (UTC)

One of the storylines that has you play as a magic-user has them be an assistant to dragon smugglers or dragon smugglers themselves, removing the slave brands on escaped dragons?

-Fredhot, March-5-2019.

That can work. --[[User:Durzan|Durzan]] 14:19, 6 March 2019 (UTC)

===?===

An idea popped up in my head: one of the dragon master storylines would be about dragon marks, for no discernible reasons, "breaking" and letting dragons free with all their powers and, at moments, "fixing" themselves for no discernible reasons?

-Fredhot, March-5-2019.

==Questions and Answers==

So, if dragons can be turned into humans, is it possible for humans to be enslaved as dragons, intentionally or not? What purpose do dragons serve as slaves when they've been turned into humans? What about enslaved dragons that haven't been turned into humans? What about slavery among humans and non-dragons?

Are there any defining marks to tell dragons-turned-humans from actual humans? Have dragons already made that leap into transforming into humans so as to be hidden?

Is enslaving ''humans'' a normality?

Edit: Are dragons in the habit of enslaving humans and, if so, is it for revenge on the usual and/or because their society also has slavery?

---Fredhot, March, 4, 2019.

Allow me to rephrase Question One: could a human be enslaved and then given to a master under the pretense that said human is actually a dragon? Is slavery fraud a regular occurrence?

---Fredhot, March-3-2019.

Could there be dragon freedmen- dragons that were slaves but were freed through manumission? What would their place be in society? How would they be viewed? Perhaps one of the dragon storylines could be about a dragon freedman?

---Fredhot, March, 5, 2019.

To what extent has technology reached in the the other/various ages besides the golden one? Pre-industrial by our standards, still slagging behind in their equivalent of a technological dark age, or something else? The presence of an ever encroaching darkness and magic would suggest that scientific development would be substantially hampered. Why make a musket when you can conjure a fireball?

===Answers:===

1. Q: '''Is it possible for humans to be enslaved as dragons?'''

A: No, it is not possible for humans to be enslaved in a dragon form. Humans generally do not naturally have the ability to assume an alternate form (with one possible exception, that I can't go into here and now because spoilers), nor do dragons have access to the ability to use magic, so a dragon enslaving a human into a dragonoid via a polymorph spell wouldn't work.

2. Q: '''What purpose do dragons serve as slaves when they've been turned into humans? What about enslaved dragons that haven't been turned into humans?'''

A: These two questions largely stems from a misconception... Dragon's are not being turned into humans permanently via human magic. Dragons have the natural ability to freely polymorph (IE Shape Change) between their natural form and their humanoid form, just like a lycanthrope in D&D can with practice assume their animal form, a hybrid form, or their natural form. Dragons are inherently magical beings, and while they lost their ability to use and control their magic after the Great Cataclysm, some few abilities remain. Their limited shape changing is one of the few remnants of their former magical prowess.

Humans control dragons through magic, either directly or indirectly. One of the first priorities of all Dragon Catchers is to bind a captured dragon with magic as soon as possible. A dragon bound with spells is basically helpless (unless the owner is #TooDumbToLive anyway and inadvertently sets their dragon free), but a dragon not yet under the thrall of arcane influence is still a grave threat and is perfectly capable of causing a lot of damage in its attempts to escape or fight. Thus, whenever possible, a Dragon Catcher will always ensure that either they (or someone else who is proficient in magic) is capable of binding spells to a dragon.

The process is actually quite simple: A wizard simply uses his mana to create a glowing rune or tattoo upon the bare skin or scales of the subject, and then splices additonal spells into the Arcane Mark. The Mark by itself is harmless, but any spell (and therefore its effects) that are spliced into the Mark's matrix will automatically affect the person upon whom the mark was applied. In addition, so long as the mark remains intact and isn't dispelled, the effect of the spliced spells will continue to affect the target. Even severing the limb or joint the mark is a part of will not remove it, for the mark would simply appear on another part of the body. In order for a mark to be removed, it must be dispelled or nullified by either the original caster or current owner of the mark, or it must be cracked by a wizard powerful and clever enough to decode the mark's encryption.

As for what this has to do with your original question, I'm getting to that. You see, common spells that are regularly included in a Dragon's Mark of Servitude include: magical compulsions to obey the commands of the person who currently owns them, a spell that prevents the dragon from attacking or harming their master without express consent, a tracking spell, a spell that prevents a dragon from dimension hopping (basically Planar Binding), '''and a spell that prevents a dragon from shifting between their humanoid and dragon forms without express permission.'''

A dragon in their human form has not nearly as many options as in their natural state (they can fly, they can dimension hop, they can spit fire or lightning, they have claws and teeth, and are extremely strong and physically tough), so humans keep them in that form out of convenience as it makes them that much easier to control. If a human has need of a dragon's natural form for whatever reason, they can simply command the dragon to revert, and they will be compelled to do so. Afterward, the human can simply order the dragon to revert back to their humanoid form.

3. Q: '''What about slavery among humans and non-dragons?'''

A: Well, there are the Spirits, but they are more like forces of nature than actual living beings. They are rather hard to enslave, though one can bond a spirit as a familiar. The process for bonding a familar is similar to that of marking a dragon, but is a bit more involved, and requires mutual consent.

Apart from Spirits, it is unclear at this particular time if there are any other sentient exotic creatures besides humans and dragons (excluding other humanoids, which are basically descended from humans and therefore are technically not an exotic sentient species). As such, slavery isn't really an issue regarding them.

4. '''Are there any defining marks to tell dragons-turned-humans from actual humans? Have dragons already made that leap into transforming into humans so as to be hidden?'''

There are three general rules that a dragon's alternate form adheres to:
*A Dragon's humanoid form is always vaguely consistent in appearance, form, and structure. A dragon cannot change the features of their humanoid form to their liking, as it represents what they would look like if they were indeed human. A Dragon's humanoid form always bears some resemblance to their dragon form. A dragon's appearance in their human form will reflect the proportional age of their dragon form: IE, a child dragon will turn into a child human, and an adult will turn into an adult human. Usually it is the dragon's eye color, which remains constant regardless of what form they take. Note that Dragon's generally have eye colors that could pass for human in their humanoid form. Their hair color either reflects the color of their scales or defaults to a natural hair color that a human could have (IE, Red, Brown, Blonde, Black, Auburn, Silver/White, etc).
* Their eyes ALWAYS noticeably glow in the dark of their, reflecting the acute and supernatural nature of their night vision. In addition, their senses of smell and hearing are a bit more keen than your average human, though they are greatly diminished when compared to their natural form. Apart from that, there are no discernible ''physical'' traits that would immediately out them as a dragon.
* A dragon cannot fly, dimension hop, or use their breath weapon (Fire, Ice, Lightning, etc.) while in their human form.
* A dragon in human form needs to eat a proportionally smaller amount of food to what they would need to eat in their dragon form. The amount of food eaten in human form will not scale up, and therefore will leave the dragon hungry upon transforming. However, if they eat food in their dragon form, they will remain sated in their human form with no ill effects and will still remain sated in their dragon form (provided they ate enough in the first place).

So yes, in a manner of speaking, dragons do have physical traits that can set them apart from a human, though nothing nearly so obvious as having horns growing out of their head, having little fangs, or big red eyes with cat slits. Their eyes glowing in the dark or the fact that their hair or skin tone may resemble the color of their scales are the only physical traits that will or can directly give them away.

However, the biggest signs that give a dragon away are not physical, but psychological and social in nature. A dragon is not used to staying in human form (or using that form at all), and so often have trouble maintaining their balance while walking. In addition, a dragon's thought processes and unconscious mannerisms stick out like a sore thumb in Human society, and those who are paying attention and know what to look for can easily tell a dragon from a human at a glance based on this alone. Even for the most experienced dragons who are used to living among humans can only reduce the obviousness of this effect, not remove it entirely. As such it is almost impossible for a dragon to dwell within human society for very long without eventually getting caught and enslaved.

5. Q: '''Is enslaving ''humans'' a normality?'''

A: Yes, humans do enslave other humans, and it is considered normal. However, slavery on Illnora more closely resembles the forms of slavery in ancient cultures rather than the far more despicable forms that we have seen in relatively recent history. In other words, the term "slave" and "servant" are practically synonymous.

There are a few ways of becoming a slave:
* You are sold into slavery to pay off a debt that you or a family member owe, or as punishment for a crime you (and you alone) committed. You will be set free when the debt is paid, when the terms of your slavery contract are fulfilled, or until your master sets you free.
* You were captured in war and sold for profit. You work until either your master sets you free or you are able to purchase your own freedom.
* You are sold as a slave of your own free will. You work until either the conditions of your contract are fulfilled or until your master sets you free.

Note that slavery can actually prove beneficial for the slave under certain circumstances. A slave is subservient to their master, and as a result, their social status is derived from the social status of their master. The slave of a nobleman will have more rights and influence than the slave of a common peasant. In fact, some people may actually find it shameful if they were set free. But while the specifics of these matters vary from culture to culture, a master and a slave always have certain expectations that are universal in nature:
* It is expected that the slave loyally and dutifully carry out all lawful tasks given to them by their master.
* The master is expected to treat their slave with a degree of respect and responsibility. At a bare minimum, a master is expected to provide food and shelter for the slave, protect him and his family members (if any) from external and internal threats, and refrain from abusing them. In addition, the master is expected to provide all necessary knowledge and tools required for the tasks he intends for the slave to perform.
* It is expected that upon fulfillment of a slave's contract or terms of slavery, that he or she be given the opportunity to claim their freedom without hinderance. If they choose to do so, the master should provide them with a parting gift. If they choose to remain, the master should honor their wishes.
* It is also expected that a master and a servant deal honestly with one another; if a slave has earned his freedom, a master should acknowledge it and offer to set him free.
* It is expected that should either party break these expectations, that the law of the land be strictly and justly enforced upon both parties.

6. Q: '''Are dragons in the habit of enslaving humans and, if so, is it for revenge on the usual and/or because their society also has slavery?'''

A: Dragons do not enslave humans, and the thought of trying never crosses their minds. Even if they wanted to, dragons simply don't have the purpose or the means to pull it off, especially considering that humans have the upper hand with their ability to use magic. You must understand that the stalemate of the war between the two species still lays heavily upon the minds of both races. On top of that, the dragons have developed a paradoxical fear and unease regarding humans. While they hate that their kin are being enslaved, the last thing they want to do is give humanity a reason to mobilize and bring the brunt of their full power against them. If such a thing were to happen, the best thing the dragons could hope for is mutually assured destruction at best, and one sided extinction or enslavement at worst. Add to the fact that they are too busy fighting among themselves for food, water, and territory... and you can easily see why the Dragons maintain the status quo. After all, the elders would think... so long as the humans are content to remain on their side of the fence, we are safe, and anyone who goes over there is a fool at best.

Also, dragons who have not experienced slavery have at best a limited understanding of the concept. Slavery is practically a new and alien concept to them, despite the fact that sometimes their relationships seem to resemble some aspects of slavery.

Humans have never set foot in Draconia and do not have the means to do so even if they wanted to. Magic may be powerful, but humans have yet to replicate the effects of a dragon's dimension hopping.

Well, I think that answers all your questions...

--[[User:Durzan|Durzan]] 08:21, 5 March 2019 (UTC)

'''Response to your rephrased question:''' Slavery fraud is indeed possible and somewhat likely, but if caught would result in some rather harsh punishment. In theory, a human could be enslaved and then given to a master under the pretense of being a dragon... but such would be highly illegal after all.

Like all forms of trade and marketing, the Slave industry is highly regulated (for humans, as well as dragons and any other non-human species that may or may not exist)... but like always, there would exist a subset of people who do not wish to conform to the rules. Thus where there exists a regulated industry, it would stand to reason that there would also be a black market. Dragon Poachers and unregistered human slave traders would sell their wares on this black market, and people who wish to do less than savory things to their slaves, or who wish to buy a slave without the necessary paperwork would as well. Such slaves acquired through the black market wouldn't have the guarentee of the law behind their treatment, but if discovered by law enforcement would be immediately freed (or at the very least, have their slavery legitimized).

So yes, slavery "fraud" as you put it is possible and even somewhat common. A human could be passed off as a dragon in human form, although it would be a flimsy fraud that would be easily exposed (you know, due to magic being used to enforce the slavery of dragons, while such isn't usually the case for humans).

7. Q: '''Could there be dragon freedmen- dragons that were slaves but were freed through manumission? What would their place be in society? How would they be viewed? Perhaps one of the dragon storylines could be about a dragon freedman?'''

A; In theory, dragons who are freed can exist... but in practice, they practically wouldn't. Remember that the mark of servitude essentially functions as a dragon's green card, so in the unlikely event that they were legally freed, then they would be expected to return to Draconia. The closest thing you could get to a free and legal dragon in Illnora would be if a human kept the mark upon them and then treated them as being free in all but name. But with rare exception, humans aren't likely to do that.

A free dragon in human society would be looked on with a combination of fear, skepticism, and yes... racism if it got out that they were dragons and were legally free. On top of that, a freed dragon would have a target painted on their back by those who would wish to re-enslave them (both legitimately or illegitimately), as a case can easily be made that an unmarked and free dragon is in violation of the Compact. A freed dragon would in practice effectively be back at square one, where they could be caught and enslaved again, so long as they are in Illnora.

Human's don't necessarily look upon dragons as being equals, so the rules that would normally apply to slavery, while in theory should also apply to them, effectively do not apply to a dragon in practice.

As far as a story being a bout a freed dragon would be... it could be interesting. If the dragon essentially has a mark placed upon them with illusions of the standard spells spliced into them, then a dragon would be able to walk freely among men relatively unnoticed and unbothered as they would be perceived as being "legally enslaved". However, they would be at continual risk of someone finding out.

Even for the most experienced dragons who are used to living among humans can only reduce the obviousness of this effect, not remove it entirely. As such it is almost impossible for a dragon to dwell within human society for very long without eventually getting caught and enslaved.

5. Q: '''Is enslaving ''humans'' a normality?'''

A: Yes, humans do enslave other humans, and it is considered normal. However, slavery on Illnora more closely resembles the forms of slavery in ancient cultures rather than the far more despicable forms that we have seen in relatively recent history. In other words, the term "slave" and "servant" are practically synonymous.

There are a few ways of becoming a slave:
* You are sold into slavery to pay off a debt that you or a family member owe, or as punishment for a crime you (and you alone) committed. You will be set free when the debt is paid, when the terms of your slavery contract are fulfilled, or until your master sets you free.
* You were captured in war and sold for profit. You work until either your master sets you free or you are able to purchase your own freedom.
* You are sold as a slave of your own free will. You work until either the conditions of your contract are fulfilled or until your master sets you free.

Note that slavery can actually prove beneficial for the slave under certain circumstances. A slave is subservient to their master, and as a result, their social status is derived from the social status of their master. The slave of a nobleman will have more rights and influence than the slave of a common peasant. In fact, some people may actually find it shameful if they were set free. But while the specifics of these matters vary from culture to culture, a master and a slave always have certain expectations that are universal in nature:
* It is expected that the slave loyally and dutifully carry out all lawful tasks given to them by their master.
* The master is expected to treat their slave with a degree of respect and responsibility. At a bare minimum, a master is expected to provide food and shelter for the slave, protect him and his family members (if any) from external and internal threats, and refrain from abusing them. In addition, the master is expected to provide all necessary knowledge and tools required for the tasks he intends for the slave to perform.
* It is expected that upon fulfillment of a slave's contract or terms of slavery, that he or she be given the opportunity to claim their freedom without hinderance. If they choose to do so, the master should provide them with a parting gift. If they choose to remain, the master should honor their wishes.
* It is also expected that a master and a servant deal honestly with one another; if a slave has earned his freedom, a master should acknowledge it and offer to set him free.
* It is expected that should either party break these expectations, that the law of the land be strictly and justly enforced upon both parties.

6. Q: '''Are dragons in the habit of enslaving humans and, if so, is it for revenge on the usual and/or because their society also has slavery?'''

A: Dragons do not enslave humans, and the thought of trying never crosses their minds. Even if they wanted to, dragons simply don't have the purpose or the means to pull it off, especially considering that humans have the upper hand with their ability to use magic. You must understand that the stalemate of the war between the two species still lays heavily upon the minds of both races. On top of that, the dragons have developed a paradoxical fear and unease regarding humans. While they hate that their kin are being enslaved, the last thing they want to do is give humanity a reason to mobilize and bring the brunt of their full power against them. If such a thing were to happen, the best thing the dragons could hope for is mutually assured destruction at best, and one sided extinction or enslavement at worst. Add to the fact that they are too busy fighting among themselves for food, water, and territory... and you can easily see why the Dragons maintain the status quo. After all, the elders would think... so long as the humans are content to remain on their side of the fence, we are safe, and anyone who goes over there is a fool at best.

Also, dragons who have not experienced slavery have at best a limited understanding of the concept. Slavery is practically a new and alien concept to them, despite the fact that sometimes their relationships seem to resemble some aspects of slavery.

Humans have never set foot in Draconia and do not have the means to do so even if they wanted to. Magic may be powerful, but humans have yet to replicate the effects of a dragon's dimension hopping.

Well, I think that answers all your questions...

--[[User:Durzan|Durzan]] 08:21, 5 March 2019 (UTC)

'''Response to your rephrased question:''' Slavery fraud is indeed possible and somewhat likely, but if caught would result in some rather harsh punishment. In theory, a human could be enslaved and then given to a master under the pretense of being a dragon... but such would be highly illegal after all.

Like all forms of trade and marketing, the Slave industry is highly regulated (for humans, as well as dragons and any other non-human species that may or may not exist)... but like always, there would exist a subset of people who do not wish to conform to the rules. Thus where there exists a regulated industry, it would stand to reason that there would also be a black market. Dragon Poachers and unregistered human slave traders would sell their wares on this black market, and people who wish to do less than savory things to their slaves, or who wish to buy a slave without the necessary paperwork would as well. Such slaves acquired through the black market wouldn't have the guarentee of the law behind their treatment, but if discovered by law enforcement would be immediately freed (or at the very least, have their slavery legitimized).

So yes, slavery "fraud" as you put it is possible and even somewhat common. A human could be passed off as a dragon in human form, although it would be a flimsy fraud that would be easily exposed (you know, due to magic being used to enforce the slavery of dragons, while such isn't usually the case for humans).

7. Q: '''Could there be dragon freedmen- dragons that were slaves but were freed through manumission? What would their place be in society? How would they be viewed? Perhaps one of the dragon storylines could be about a dragon freedman?'''

A; In theory, dragons who are freed can exist... but in practice, they practically wouldn't. Remember that the mark of servitude essentially functions as a dragon's green card, so in the unlikely event that they were legally freed, then they would be expected to return to Draconia. The closest thing you could get to a free and legal dragon in Illnora would be if a human kept the mark upon them and then treated them as being free in all but name. But with rare exception, humans aren't likely to do that.

A free dragon in human society would be looked on with a combination of fear, skepticism, and yes... racism if it got out that they were dragons and were legally free. On top of that, a freed dragon would have a target painted on their back by those who would wish to re-enslave them (both legitimately or illegitimately), as a case can easily be made that an unmarked and free dragon is in violation of the Compact. A freed dragon would in practice effectively be back at square one, where they could be caught and enslaved again, so long as they are in Illnora.

Human's don't necessarily look upon dragons as being equals, so the rules that would normally apply to slavery, while in theory should also apply to them, effectively do not apply to a dragon in practice.

As far as a story being a bout a freed dragon would be... it could be interesting. If the dragon essentially has a mark placed upon them with illusions of the standard spells spliced into them, then a dragon would be able to walk freely among men relatively unnoticed and unbothered as they would be perceived as being "legally enslaved". However, they would be at continual risk of someone finding out.

Holy Orthodox Church of Thyreon

UnassumingCivilian — Thu, 07 Mar 2019 01:58:45 GMT

UnassumingCivilian:

The official Church of the Empire, regulating the official faith of the population. With over ninety percent of the nation adheres to the creed, whether by force or by personal belief, the Church is a force to be reckoned with. Clergymen are exempt for conscription, normal reporting to government authority figures, and have considerable tax benefits and privileges. The entire institution is tax-exempt and adherents to the faith are required to pay a tithe (tenth of their income) every year to the church.

This is all offset by rigorous anti-corruption screening and investigations by an internal council and the [[Thyreon Council of Special Interests]]. Members of the Church hierarchy are also required to be abstinent, not partake in "indecency", or even drink or otherwise intoxicate themselves.

The official doctrine of the Church states that there is only one central god: the High Lord, also known as Thye (pronounced "thy'). This is also partially where the empire revives its name from. Members of the faith are supposed to be moral and just people, attempting to execute Thye's divine will of total salvation of the human race by purging all evils (pagan religions, demons, unjust behavior, corruptive magicks etc.). Whether through conversion or conquest is a point of hot contention and a reason for increasing polarization in the empire.

It is a distinct possibility that the church may fracture between the two competing factions within itself, your and other contestants' actions may have a direct role in the situation's development. Supporting the militaristic side through the [[Thyreon Imperial Army]] is an effective way of doing this. But helping the other side may prove to be both more fruitful and difficult.

The chapel in the Palace is staffed by an Archbishop and two Priests, it is both a place of refuge and worship.

Showing your adherence to the faith or attempting to bolster church decrees may help you earn the favor of the clergy.

Use the backing of the church well and sparingly, as you may be scrutinized by factions viewing you as abusing church power.

The support of the church can earn you a blessing from the archbishop (granting some boons and a nigh untouchable status for a short while), official allowance for you to carry out church doctrine, or even the ability to become ordained (a huge power move that may shake some factions, there has never been an emperor-priest).

Tales of Illnora

UnassumingCivilian — Thu, 07 Mar 2019 01:45:14 GMT

UnassumingCivilian:

'''Introduction:''' Illnora, a world of beauty, a world of patterns. Since her creation by the Gods countless eons ago, Illnora has witnessed many stories unfold across her surface, and will witness many more long after our stories end.

No two stories she read were exactly the same. Some were long, while others are short. Some were great and epic, others quiet and mundane. Some were filled with joy, and others with sorrow. It didn't matter to her. Each one had its ups and downs, their own subtle twists and turns, their own strengths and weaknesses. She loved every single story she read, for no two stories were exactly the same, and each had their own unique charm.

Illnora loved her stories so much that she desired for others to read. And so she kept her ever growing collection within the halls of the Great Library of the Afterlife, so that all may come to read when one of their stories was finished. Each soul that read was also an author, and each life they lived was a new book in their series.

What was your most recent story? Come, sit, and read to find out.

Grand Dynasty

UnassumingCivilian — Wed, 06 Mar 2019 16:55:21 GMT

UnassumingCivilian:

In the Holy Thyreon Empire, the Emperor, old in age and on the verge of death has put together his final bid for a suitable heir: An extensive competition to pit 12 contenders of the throne against each other. Only one may achieve total victory and the seat of the throne. Only those of the most eligible, educated, and well trained can even hope to compete.

All eyes will be on the contender's actions as scrying mirrors and other surveillance devices are placed along the Palace grounds. Doing certain things may sway one dynastic branch or government agency to your side. However, the opposite may also occur and alienating certain groups through unfavorable actions may cause them to actively work against you. Here is a list of possible allies and enemies you may gain from your actions:

*[[Royal Palace Guard]]
*[[Thyreon Imperial Army]]
*[[Thyreon Imperial Navy]]
*[[Holy Orthodox Church of Thyreon]]
*[[Aristocracy of the 1st Branch]] (Officially: Blessed Line of the Emperor's Firstborn)
*[[Aristocracy of the 2nd Branch]] (Officially: Fellowship of the Second Son)
*[[Aristocracy of the 3rd Branch]] (Officially: Unity of the New Triad)
*[[Worker's Industrial League]]
*[[Establishment of the Circle]]
*[[Thyreon Ministry of Civics]]
*[[Thyreon Ministry of Internal Development]]
*[[Thyreon Ministry of Agriculture]]
*[[Thyreon Ministry of Unity]]
*[[Thyreon Council of Special Interests]]
*[[Thyreon Council of the Other]]

Other, unofficial/unrecognized groups of interest:

*[[Republican Rebellion]] (Officially: New Republic of Thyreon (they may or may not have infiltrated the competition))
*[[Coalition of the Occult]]

Thyreon Imperial Army

UnassumingCivilian — Wed, 06 Mar 2019 06:47:35 GMT

UnassumingCivilian:

The primary military force of the empire. Well equipped and well trained, these soldiers dutifully and fanatically serve for the good of the Empire and the Emperor's will. They are substantially less elitist than their Palace counterparts due to the variety of their ranks. High privilege, and with it prejudice, does not exist in most of the army like it does the [[Royal Palace Guard]]. Everywhere from the farmland peasant to the aristocrat's privileged son are represented in the army. While the majority of the upper ranks are packed with nobles, it is not impossible for the commoner to rise the ranks.

They have intense unity and nationalism for the country and seek for its expansion. The army heavily resents the partial demilitarization that occurs when the Empire is at peace as standards drop, funding lessens, and they lose prestige. Additionally, the [[Thyreon Imperial Navy]] has something of a one-sided rivalry with them, not unlike that of an older and younger brother. The army works extensively with the [[Thyreon Council of the Other]] to produce military geared magicks and artifacts.

For as long as the competition drags on for, four representatives from the army reinforce the current two officers stationed at the palace, bringing their total presence up to six. The representatives act similarly to the guard but with substantially more free will at the cost of less privileges.

Garnering their favor may require visible patriotism to the nation, some militaristic views (possibly at the expense of other factions, the peace loving side of the [[Holy Orthodox Church of Thyreon]] especially), and a support of the armed forces.

After securing their support, the representatives may be able to smuggle in some top-of-the-line or prototype weapons (even magick artifects) for you, provide additional surveillance, or possibly even sabotage the actions of their Palace counterparts (should the need arise). The mage of the group might possibly impart some supernatural gifts or skills to you, maybe.

Royal Palace Guard

UnassumingCivilian — Wed, 06 Mar 2019 06:45:29 GMT

UnassumingCivilian:

The elite units that guard the Emperor's own Palace. Now here to protect you as well for the duration of the competition, or at least that's what they are supposed to do. The guards are heavily elitist who all hail from high ranking families and establishments, they are especially prejudiced towards "outsiders" and foreigners. Due to this, they have a mutually hateful dynamic with the [[Thyreon Imperial Navy]]. On the other hand, they have a rather amicable relationship with the [[Aristocracy of the 1st Branch]], where a substantial portion of their numbers come from. Their relations with the other aristocratic branches are not poor either, but they lack the real substance that it has with the first.

It will be impossible to earn their favor as anyone not of aristocratic birth or other similarly high positions. If you are however, they will treat you as any good guest of the Palace.

To earn their favor, you will likely need to play to their interests and treat them cordially.

Earning their goodwill may allow you to use them to spy on other contestants, look out for specifically (personal physical safety), or even "incapacitate" another person for a bit. It is not even unlikely to become closer with the aristocracy as a result of this favor, the guard's preferences are not held lowly to many of the nobles. Perhaps you may even reach the Emperor's ear, the Guard Captain is quite close to him after all...

At any given time there are around ten dozen guards stationed around the expanse of the Palace. The nearby guard post can swell numbers up to five hundred however, in case of an emergency or necessary event.

Thyreon Imperial Army

UnassumingCivilian — Wed, 06 Mar 2019 06:39:24 GMT

UnassumingCivilian:

The primary military force of the empire. Well equipped and well trained, these soldiers dutifully and fanatically serve for the good of the Empire and the Emperor's will. They are substantially less elitist than their Palace counterparts due to the variety of their ranks. High privilege, and with it prejudice, does not exist in most of the army like it does the [[Royal Palace Guard]]. Everywhere from the farmland peasant to the aristocrat's privileged son are represented in the army. While the majority of the upper ranks are packed with nobles, it is not impossible for the commoner to rise the ranks.

They have intense unity and nationalism for the country and seek for its expansion. The army heavily resents the partial demilitarization that occurs when the Empire is at peace as standards drop, funding lessens, and they lose prestige. Additionally, the [[Thyreon Imperial Navy]] has something of a one-sided rivalry with them, not unlike that of an older and younger brother.

For as long as the competition drags on for, four representatives from the army reinforce the current two officers stationed at the palace, bringing their total presence up to six. The representatives act similarly to the guard but with substantially more free will at the cost of less privileges.

Garnering their favor may require visible patriotism to the nation, some militaristic views (possibly at the expense of other factions, the peace loving side of the [[Holy Orthodox Church of Thyreon]] especially), and a support of the armed forces.

After securing their support, the representatives may be able to smuggle in some top-of-the-line or prototype weapons (even magick artifects) for you, provide additional surveillance, or possibly even sabotage the actions of their Palace counterparts (should the need arise). The mage of the group might possibly impart some supernatural gifts or skills to you, maybe.

Thyreon Imperial Navy

UnassumingCivilian — Wed, 06 Mar 2019 06:35:37 GMT

UnassumingCivilian:

The nation's naval military and counterpart to the army. The Thyreon Navy is even more liberal than the army, at least when compared to the likes of the Palace Guard. The navy is especially popular with the middle class and the [[Establishment of the Circle]] as they are also responsible for guarding trade ships, ports, and trade lines in the sea. Not so popular with the [[Worker's Industrial League]] who view them as supposing the bourgeoisie "oppressors". Regardless, the navy is outfitted with modern ships, arms, and technology, as well as any relevant magick advancements.

They have something of a one-sided rivalry with the [[Thyreon Imperial Army]] which is vastly superior in size, funding, and prestige. While this is mostly harmless, albeit sometimes heated, competition, the dynamic pales in relationship with the [[Royal Palace Guard]]. They vehemently loathe each other for differing ideals, conditions, and even attitudes in general.

Currently, there is a visiting admiral in the Palace along with some trusted crewmen, they are invited to stay for the entirety of the competition. You can expect more than some drama between the navy and Guard.

While it is easy to gain simple and short-term favor with the navy by simply showing that you prefer them over the Guard and, to a lesser extent, the army, if you want to get real support, more action must be taken. Being openly more liberal on most issues will help in this, and helping the visiting admiral with any possible troubles he might have even more so.

The support of the navy might buy you aqua-related magicks, the loyalty of a Guard-hating crew, and a guaranteed evacuation to a safe haven in the case of an emergency.

Grand Dynasty

UnassumingCivilian — Wed, 06 Mar 2019 06:25:42 GMT

UnassumingCivilian:

In the Holy Thyreon Empire, the Emperor, old in age and on the verge of death has put together his final bid for a suitable heir: An extensive competition to pit 12 contenders of the throne against each other. Only one may achieve total victory and the seat of the throne. Only those of the most eligible, educated, and well trained can even hope to compete.

All eyes will be on the contender's actions as scrying mirrors and other surveillance devices are placed along the Palace grounds. Doing certain things may sway one dynastic branch or government agency to your side. However, the opposite may also occur and alienating certain groups through unfavorable actions may cause them to actively work against you. Here is a list of possible allies and enemies you may gain from your actions:

*[[Royal Palace Guard]]
*[[Thyreon Imperial Army]]
*[[Thyreon Imperial Navy]]
*[[Holy Orthodox Church of Thyreon]]
*[[Aristocracy of the 1st Branch]] (Officially: Blessed Line of the Emperor's Firstborn)
*[[Aristocracy of the 2nd Branch]] (Officially: Fellowship of the Second Son)
*[[Aristocracy of the 3rd Branch]] (Officially: Unity of the New Triad)
*[[Worker's Industrial League]]
*[[Establishment of the Circle]]
*[[Thyreon Ministry of Civics]]
*[[Thyreon Ministry of Internal Development]]
*[[Thyreon Ministry of Agriculture]]
*[[Thyreon Ministry of Unity]]
*[[Thyreon Council of Special Interests]]
*[[Thyreon Council of the Other]]
