Shame and virtue among the dragonkin

Dragonkin society, like many religious communities, is controlled and dictated by subtle rewards and penalties from the community. Shame is apportioned when you (or more rarely a member of your family) performs some act contrary to the will of the community, and virtue is granted when you perform some act of extraordinary good.

The Geography of Spire City

History

To understand the nature of Spire City, one must understand its history. Like most of the major cities in Adylheim its history stretches well beyond that of the Empire, it is one event which defines the city more than any other though. During the Mage Wars in 2954 as the Eiderdown campaign was drawing to a close the city was one of those who suffered through a serious battle. Much of the city was destroyed in the fighting and the fires and a particularly nasty storm took care of what was left.

The Political System of Arameia

The Church of Luxor

The Church seized power in 3899, seizing power from the Emperor and quickly started to establish themselves as a power base independent from the nobility. The nobility of Arameia, at the time, had a well deserved reputation for being corrupt and taking advantage of the populace. The Church were greeted as saviours from a corrupt system, but it did not take long before the Church became just as corrupt as the system it replaced.
