Dragon Isles aka Trinity Islands
(Inverted Triangle)
Population: 3,000+
Geographic Area
The total population of the Islands is around 3,000 of multi-races.
Imports, Exports, and Resources
The economy is untouched by the war on the mainland. The average monthly wage was 2 gold pieces (the basic pay of the army). Magic items were more available as a market item in the major cities (most items of level 1 through 5).
They have lumber, fruit, and fish for export. They need hard minerals for import. Most of their trading with the mainland is through independent traders working with Whitebeach.
History
The Pirate Commodore John Trinity first discovered the island chain and named it after himself. He used it as a hideout and launch center for raiding commercial shipping.
The beginning of the civilization under the control of the dragons is unknown. Its ancient history and founding is lost information. The majority of the population cannot read or write beyond simple letters and numbers. The mainland has very little contact with the Dragon Isle, therefore, its history is unknown. Perhaps the ruling Gold Dragons do know the history but if so, they are keeping it to themselves.
Government
As a monarchy, the Gold Dragon Clan of Doro governs the Islands. The Three Ancient Fathers of the Clan are the oldest dragons of the family and they hold completely equal power. The Three Ancient Fathers are Dory the Ten Horns, Hem the Virtuous, and Pazoa the Powerful. The Three form the Emperor level of leadership.
Each Settlement on the Islands is ruled over by a subordinate to the Three Fathers. They have the title of Caregiver; the Caregiver form the kingdom level of leadership. Arella is the Caregiver of Hope Settlement. Bowie is the Caregiver of Love Settlement. Cressida is the Caregiver of Peace Settlement. Flavian is the Caregiver of Joy Village. Jin is the Caregiver of Calmness Settlement. Kamaorlan is the Caregiver of Glory Town. Sonad is the Caregiver of Happyville. Serley is the Caregiver of Fun Settlement.
The individual settlements have an appointment leader known as the Servant. The Servant is appointed by the dragon clan. The Servant is subordinate to the dominate dragon. The Servant handles all the government responsibilities such as tax collecting and law enforcement and judging disputes.
The Six Scales of Justice are the judicial code that covers the islands. The Six Scales of Justice are: (1) Honor and obey the Gold Dragon clan; (2) No harming or killing others; (3) No breaking up families; (4) No stealing; (5) No lying; (6) No writing or reading. Penalty of instant death is by hanging.
Culture
Within the Dragon Isles, writing is forbidden, education is forbidden, and magic is forbidden, under penalty of instant death. The names of the settlements are abstract ideals such as Hope, Love, Peace, Joy, Calmness, Glory, Happy, Fun.
