Sunserene

Dragon Judge in Sunserene

Summary

Sunserene is the current name of the dragon city after it was moved to the other side of the earth, where it now governs itself and seven settlements within a hundred miles. The city is reached through a portal from the Ice Prison and is organised around dragon councils, extensive courtrooms, information control, compulsory work or training, and restrictive outbreeding laws. Before the move, the city was Snowserene and stood between Fishtail Edge and Rimewatch; because it occupied a different location, Snowserene is historical context rather than an alias. Snowsorrow is the crater and mapped town left behind when Snowserene moved, while copper-dragon resistance refugees later sheltered in Lady Evalina Hartwall’s Laboratory.
