Details of Yeomna Main CitiesSolandis, Yeomna;
• Home to Chateau de La Tanière Du Dragon, or better known as, Dragon Den's Castle
• Location where all dragonshifters are bonded (or so people think)
• Vast trading markets; specializing in spices and cloth
• Temples accessible to the public to practice worshipping the old and new dragon gods
• Accessible by two rivers - the Mazu and the Susanoo
This city is the capital of Yeomna. Within, it houses the royal family, the most wealthy nobles of the realm and hundreds of thousands of its citizens. Solandis is the home for all pledged dragonshifters (the ones who have bonds with humans.) It also houses a large number of markets that elevates it to one of the wealthiest cities within Nüwa.
Isleen, Yeomna;
• A seaside city that handles most of the imports and exports from the other realms
• Known as the art capital of Yeomna– has been home to many famous artists throughout the ages
• A lot of designers export their designs (clothing) throughout Yeomna from here
• Made up of high and middle class citizens (the poor have been driven out of the streets and into slums)
• Connected to the Susanoo river
Isleen is known as the 'artist's city' throughout Yeomna. Many have moved in the hopes of securing a career in their artistic endeavor– only to fail miserably and move back to their old little towns. Still, for those who make it here, there are a vast number of beautiful buildings, statues, murals– and people– to offer some form of muse. This city is also the trading capital of the realm– exporting spices and cloth that is shipped from the inlands through the Susanoo river.
Tsillah, Yeomna;
• Another seaside city that handles most of the metal and precious jewel trade that comes from the Isles of Galossi
• Filled with the middle class and the poor– not many nobles reside in the city
• Many knights come from this city due to wanting to escape their poor living situations
• Connected to the Mazu river
Tsillah is a city that always has a chill in the air. Mist rolls in waves throughout the streets and the sun barely lights up the drab brown buildings. Still, the city exists due to the number of blacksmiths who craft and forge weapons and jewelry for the upper class. Tsillah also has vast fields surrounding the area that helps to feed the surrounding villages for the next fifty kilometers.
Kilani, Yeomna;
• A dangerous city filled with thieves, murderers and the worst type of human filth imaginable
• Large arena that serves as a gladiator field for prisoners
• Despite its crime rate, it is known for its architecture and city structure
• Controversially considered one of the most beautiful cities in Yeomna
• Connected to the Susanoo river
Kilani is a beautiful city filled with beautiful architecture, many market places and the massive colosseum at the center of it all. However, there is an underbelly to Kilani that is filled with criminals and cutthroats who would do anything to eat. This city is known to attract tourists who enjoy watching the gladiator fights of the imprisoned. Most nobles steer clear, fearing the pickpockets and the ruffians who clog the streets.
Aoife, Yeomna;
• City near the Melanoe mountains that is surrounded by desert
• Receives massive trade with forest dwellers from the Ame no Uzume forest and nomads of the Malanoe mountains
• Main exports include traveling vessels (boats, carriages, etc.) and pottery sculpted from the mud along the riverbank
• Connected to the Mazu river
Not a very extraordinary city but it sees the most trade with Ame no Uzume forest dwellers and the nomads from the mountains just a short distance away. Also is known for its craftsmanship of boats and pottery.

Dragonshifting Forms;Human form

Dragon form
Appearances: They tend to come in all different shapes and sizes. The abilities also differ from each beast, making their forms very versatile. However, there is one consensus; the more power a dragon has, the larger their forms will be.
Dragon Bonds;When it comes to bonding with a dragon, humans are the ones who have to undergo a trial to test their will. A tournament is held every fifty years or so, allowing all the old knights to retire and leave the realm in the hands of younger, more capable knights. The tournament is divided into sections. Dozens of men and women compete for the chance to be bonded with a dragon. The numbers dwindle down until only two remain. They are made to fight to the death. The only exceptions that can be made is when the dragonshifter chooses which human they wish to be paired with before the duel begins. Otherwise, the winner is then the bonded partner to the dragonshifter. The cycle continues until every dragon has been given a new human to pair with. It is rare for a dragon to reject the person they are expected to bond with– although it is not completely unheard of. A ceremony is held that allows the dragonshifter and the human to pledge their life to one another. Once bonded, the two must train to work as a synchronized unit.
In the current year, the only reason a tournament was held was due to a new fledgling who wished to pledge themselves to a human and the crown. They are still young– as well as the knight they have bonded with.
