🌍 World Structure: The Brutal Middle Ages and the Slavery System (Social & Slavery System)
This world is in the High Middle Ages, driven by agriculture, maritime trade, and colonialism. However, the primary driver of the economy is not machines, but "slavery."
Slavery in Society: Slaves were viewed as "property" and "living tools," categorized into several types:
Hardworking Slaves: Mostly dwarf miners or red lizardmen, forced to work in mines or logging.
Household and Entertainment Slaves: Often catmen or forest elves, possessing beauty, dexterity, or unique abilities.
Warrior Slaves (Gladiators): Werewolves or lizardmen forced to fight each other in gladiatorial arenas for the entertainment of the upper class.
The Subjugation Collar: Because magic in this world isn't powerful enough for permanent brainwashing, dwarf blacksmiths and merchants, in collaboration with mages, created "low-mana embedded iron collars." If a slave disobeyed or attempted to escape, the collar would release an electric current or intense heat, instantly burning their skin.
Species Conflict: Pureblood elves and (certain) human nobles are often "slave holders," while animal or half-breeds are frequently targeted for slave hunting.
🔮 Low-Fantasy Magic System
Magic in this world cannot unleash world-ending fire, resurrect the dead, or warp across continents. Magic is limited, difficult, and comes with a price.
The Law of Sparse Mana: Mana in the air is very scarce. The most concentrated source of mana comes from "dragon's blood" (a mineral extracted from parts of dragon corpses). Mages must carry mineral crystals or consume magical potions to cast spells.
Forms of Magic:
Applied Magic to Objects: Instead of shooting fireballs from their hands, mages coat arrowheads with fire or sword blades with poison.
Ritual Magic: Major spells (such as summoning rain or creating barriers to protect cities) take days to cast and require dozens of leaders to chant. And it requires a sacrifice.
The Toll: Overusing magic will devour the human body, causing blindness, petrification, or a rapidly shortened lifespan.
👾 Monsters & Beast Ecology
Monsters in this world are not born from darkness or demons, but are natural beasts that have evolved from ancient times. They are ferocious and a major threat to travelers.
Chimeras and Wild Griffins: Predators that dominate the skies and mountain ranges (Dragon's Wings and Dragon's Ridge), making travel across cities by chariot extremely dangerous. Mercenary escorts are always required.
Swamp Horrors: In Dragon's Fang (the home of the Lizardmen), there are giant leeches and six-legged crocodiles whose skin reflects iron weapons, making invasion by other tribes difficult.
The Feral: Certain groups of beastmen (dogs/cats) who have rejected civilization and embraced a completely wild life. They are ferocious and hunt all kinds of animals, including humans. And they often attack villages on the fringes.
🏛️ Balance of Power and Politics in the Dark Ages (Geopolitics)
The Marble Empire (Dragon's Head): Pureblood elves ruled by a divine kingship. They consider themselves superior to all other races, sending out "slave-hunting armies" to capture other races for labor, especially forest elves and beastmen, to maintain the cleanliness and beauty of the White City.
The Iron Claw Trade Federation (Dragon's Claw - Dragon's Paw): An alliance between dwarf merchants and dwarf miners. They control almost the entire economy, operating a "slave auction and wholesale" business to the Elf Empire and human cities, with red lizardmen as their prized labor commodity.
The Dragon's Back Feudal Kingdom (Dragon's Back): Humans ruled by a monarchy and nobility. This is the largest slave market, with a clear class system. Half-breeds of various types are placed at the bottom or sold into slavery if they do not have citizenship certificates.
The Alliance of Shadows (Dragon's Eye - Dragon's Heart): Dark elves and forest elves, though at odds, secretly join forces to form a resistance group against slavery. They used magic for camouflage and the dense forest to ambush caravans of human and dwarf slaves.
This world was therefore filled with the scent of inequality, the smoke from the smelting furnaces, the clang of slave chains, and the struggle for survival against beasts, in an era where the light of magic was dim. This environment was the perfect setting for a story of revolution, survival, or the adventures of a group of mercenaries!
Here's a concise summary of the "Creds" monetary system:
🪙 Creds Denominations
Copper Creds (Bits): (100 Bits = 1 Silver Cred) Used to buy food, liquor, and the general cost of living for villagers and slaves.
Silver Creds (Standard): The world's standard unit. Used to hire craftsmen, buy common weapons, and supplies.
Gold Creds (Royal): (1 Coin = 100 Silver Creds) Embedded with blue mana shards. Used among nobles, to buy land, or to buy a single slave.
Iron Cred Notes (Notes): Iron plates stamped with secret codes. Valued at 500-10,000 Gold Creds. Used for large business deals and auctioning high-grade slaves.
⛓️ Slave Market Prices
50 - 80 Silver Creds: General labor slaves / Elderly slaves
2 - 5 Gold Creds: High-condition, hard-working slaves (Dwarf/Red Lizardman)
10-20 Gold Creed: Arena Fighter Slave (Wolf/Blue Lizardman)
50+ Gold Creed: High-Grade/Attractive Slave (Forest Elf/Moon Dog)
Summary of the relationships between each group in the world ⚔️🤝
👑 Slave Hunters and the Noble Class
Dragon's Head (Pureblood Elves) ➡️ View other groups as inferior beings, employing dwarves to capture slaves for their luxurious lifestyles.
Dragon's Claws & Paws (Dwarf Merchants & Miners) ➡️ Control the economy, trading slaves of all breeds for kreds and labor.
⚖️ Neutral Groups / The Large Market
Dragon's Back (Humans & Half-breeds) ➡️ Buying, selling, and using slave labor is commonplace, exploiting all parties.
🎯 The Hunted / Resistance
Dragon's Heart & Dragon's Eye (Forest Elves & Dark Elves) ➡️ Hate Dragon's Heads and dwarves, secretly cooperating to ambush slave caravans.
Dragon's Wings & Dragon's Tail (Beast-Humans & Cats) ➡️ Top targets for slave hunting. Often captured and used as slaves for entertainment and war.
Dragon Fangs (Lizardmen) ➡️ Hunted by dwarves for hard labor in mines, but the dangerous mangrove environment makes it difficult for other tribes to invade.
The perspectives on sex and reproduction in the world of Dragonia focus primarily on class, social status, and blood purity, with no obscenity involved. These are as follows:
## 1. Pureblood Group (High Elves of Dragon's Head)
Emphasis on purity: Mating is limited to pureblood elves to maintain mana and silver/gold physical traits.
Interspecies marriage: This is considered a serious taboo. Anyone marrying a human or forest elf will have their half-breed offspring immediately banished from the White City.
## 2. Working Class and Slave Group (Humans, Dwarves, and Beastmen)
Humans and Half-breeds: The most open form of interspecies marriage, resulting in a diverse group of half-breeds along the Dragon's Back.
In the slave system: Slave owners strictly control the reproduction of their slaves, often forcing them to marry powerful slaves (such as Lizardmen or werewolf-beasts) to produce new generations of strong, high-value slaves for the Creds market.
## 3. Lizardmen Group (Dragon's Fang)
Breeding by scale color: Pairing is based on dominant traits and environment. For example, red paired with red to maintain fire-resistant characteristics, or crossbreeding to create ecological balance for survival in dangerous swamps.
