The land of dragons (Patreon)

Here's a small lore drop with some ideas that have been buzzing in my mind. This time it pertains to the two areas I've been focusing on recently - dragons and the world landscape.

I've had this idea that the magical currents of the world form a dipole similar to Earth's magnetic field, which results in concentrated energies at the north and south poles. These powerful magical energies have transformed the landscape and its inhabitants over the eons, resulting in an arctic volcanic environment similar to Iceland. Throughout the tundras, fjords, lava fields and glaciers roam strange fire-breathing creatures, descendants of the ancient beings that used to inhabit this place. They nest deep inside the volcanic caverns scattered about the landscape. Although they occasionally venture out into the wider world for extended periods of time, they always eventually return home to lay their eggs, as it is the only place in the world where they can hatch.

I have a lot more ideas for this place, both lore-wise and how it ties into the game, but I'll save those for later. Looking forward to when we can show off this landscape in the future, I think it will look very interesting and iconic with the Icelandic inspiration which fits perfectly with the dragon theme.
