I've kept the information about riders in here. Use that information in your own description but flavor it as you wish and keep in mind that not all of your characters abilities will be enhanced early on.
Temporary Map


Each spot with a Diamond is a Capitol of its region, each one being controlled by a different entity. I'll place in the borders of each kingdom later.
Magic and the Status Quo: While this RP focuses on Dragon Riders and their connection with dragons, magic does play an important role in a Riders life. Though, Riders are not the only ones capable of using magic. Since magic takes on the role of The Song in Aethier it is understandable that music is held in the highest-regard.

Bards are held in esteem, telling tales and playing beautiful music. But, Bard cannot use The Song. Mages in Aethier take the name Composers, and where they are in the world dictates how they are treated. A Composer is a rare thing, one can go their entire life without meeting one, though all Composers are trained and taught at The College many Bards are taught at The College as well.

The College is in Alexandria, the most prominent city on the continent and they hold a tight grip on the Composers there.

I will post a character sheet of your guys instructor so that you can get a glimpse.

I'll add rules and explain how magic works tomorrow sometime.

Feel free to ask questions about the world, dragons, politics.

Imagine the setting somewhere around Medevil Europe before guns. Blackpowder exists, though is extremely rare and imported from the far east. Real world cultures and religions will likely be mirrored, but changed to fit the setting. Think Roman/Greek style deities being prevalent in the area.
Drakuoum – What Kesh call Dragons and Riders.

The following information will tell you what a Dragon Rider is, what skills they have and what their purpose is. I will provide some history on them as well as information on dragons. It will not have everything as I feel that character should learn as they go.

The bond that connects a dragon and its rider is a special one. Not even the dragon-riders know why or how a bond forms, but they do know that it is the choice of the dragon prior to its hatching. The connection that a rider and dragon share is more than just a magical link, they are physically, emotionally and spiritually bond to one-another.

It is well known that dragons become more powerful the older they get, they get larger and develop diverse magical abilities. The same can be said for a Rider as his bond grows stronger. While young riders are comparable to your regular human, a rider with centuries under his belt is far stronger than half a dozen strong men, quick as lightning with senses on par with some animals. Truly ancient riders even begin to take on characteristics of their dragon, mostly commonly reptilian eyes. Though hardened, scale like skin and pointed teeth and fangs have also developed.

While Dragons do not take on human characteristics they do grow, mentally, as a human might. They are capable of reason, learn to speak and grow as a human might. It’s important to note that Wild Dragons are little more than instinctual creatures.

True Dragons, as the dragons ridden by their Riders prefer to be called, also develop magical abilities beyond that of their Wild kin. While dragons are magical creatures they do not use magic the same way their Rider does, one will not see a dragon casting spells. Rather, a dragon can influence the natural world around them, be it through animals or plants, though truly ancient dragons can affect the weather in a limited fashion around them.

It’s important to note that True Dragons do not possess the Wild Dragon’s ability to adapt instantly to different environments, such as going from aquatic to volcanic conditions. So while True Dragons are very resistant to magic and weather effects Wild Dragons are all but immune to such things.

While dragons vary in appearance as much as their human counter-parts the size of a dragon can help in determining their age. Dragon Riders have broken down a dragons age into five categories based on size to help with training, the categories are largely unknown outside of the order.

Hatchlings – Dragons that are under 2 years old, they are usually the size of a large house-cat, are not capable of flight or any other magical abilities. Hatchlings are largely dependent on their Rider at this stage.

Wyrmling – Wyrmlings are larger than a house cat but no bigger than a wolf, they can fly for short periods at this time but cannot yet carry a heavy load. This is the age in which dragons are capable of hunting for themselves. Wyrmlings generally remain as such for over a decade.

Drake – The vast majority of Dragons are considered Drakes, that is to say that they are capable of carrying a passenger but do not possess the terrifying bulk that a Wyrm carries. Drakes are more often than not, sleek and fast. A Dragon grows more slowly once they reach maturity and are considered drakes for over a millennia. Drakes vary in size but are generally between the size of a large horse and elephant.

Wyrm – A wyrm is the thing of legends, they are as large as a house and are capable of incredibly displays of magic. They do not possess the sleek body that drakes do, and have gained a considerable amount of girth due to muscle over the years. A single Wyrm can be enough to deter a nation from war.

Great Wyrm – The only difference between a Wyrm and Great Wyrm is status, a Great Wyrm is one of the dragons (along with their Rider) that sits on the council of Riders.

Consider this filled!

I will post some information right now. Chicken scratch really... but it should give you some insight to Dragon Riders.

I will come up with more tomorrow. The setting, while mine, is open in a sand-box sort of way if you'd like to create something for your character.

*Excuse the format I use below, I was basically writing stuff as it came to mind at work. I may change specifics as i get into more detail.
What about the college football team? All of dem!
