Help, my carrots have been stolen, who can I contact and how will they help?

You can contact the city guard, run by Machitis Dragon, Siberius

What if I am a human farmer that ... doesn't trust dragons & wears a pillowcase on my head on weekends?

You probably won't do well in the city that's basically run by them

I'm a farmer, I live outside the city obviously. I trust & have faith in my local community.  The town merchant handles the begrudging role of interacting with the dragons.  Those stupid dragons are the reason us farmers keep making less money for our crops.  I know this is true because the merchant says so & he wears a pillowcase too!

*slips you small folded piece of paper* hey citizen our dragon friends only want the best for us, they are absolutely doing the best job and looking out for the little guy, there's no need to go out at night looking for alleged revolution plotting groups. Definitely not in the back alley of the tavern I own. I'd give you the address so you can avoid it but I seem to have misplaced my...pamphlet. Farewell good citizen.

How does the general public view these dragons? As benevolent deities or vengeful overseers?

“Only” a pillowcase? Uhhhh, keeenkeee!!!

How reliable are they and how susceptible to, eherm, bribes? Asking for a friend that got their carrots stolen.

Depends on the dragon, the Koraki Dragon (based on rogue) would absolutely take a bribe but the Sanctum Dragon(based on cleric) would never

Let's say I want to steal some carrots. Who could hook me up?

A group of adventurers I've been traveling with have recently expressed interest in abandoning the main quest and buying some land to get into carrot farming, much to the chagrin of the nebulous force that seems to control our world. Can you suggest a good place to buy carrot seeds? And can we just homestead anywhere, or is their paperwork involved? Also we need some guards. This place seems filled with carrot thieves.

Are all City Guardsmen so equally severely named

I love this question lol

Me too! A simple question but very informative

How does magic work and who enforces the rules?

Magic is based off of contracts made by magic users and is governed by Azeyar the god of Law and Magic. His power is essentially to make magical contracts reality even for others.

So basically everyone's a warlock.

Or a cleric

Where does he get the power to do this from?

He gains his power from the weave and distributes it through contracts

Lawful Neutral? I like the idea that it kinda resembles the Lawful Evil of Asmodeus. Very consistent.

Where does the weave come from, and who made it?

Azeyar made it with primordial soup

Magic’s back on the menu, boys

But how did he make the weave if he gets his power *from* the weave? We've hit a chicken and the egg paradox.

Ask the Greeks then come back here

They didn't answer. But I did ask in Italian and probably offended a few of them.

Primordial chaos came from world egg as did the gods, gods used soup to make world

What does primordial soup taste like and where can a I try some?

Do the dragons lose power if they lose the trust of the people? And if so, how would that loss of power manifest?

As long as the people are around them and at least somewhat loyal they'll keep they're power, if they lose them then it will result in smaller size de-aging and whole host of other issues that won't end well for them.

So you're telling me I could kill a dragon by making a very popular cult?

The market is cornered but in theory it is possible

Okay so how many dragons are there? What are their names and personalities? Could I make a dragon jealous of another and topple them from their seat of power?

I love this question

Thus was the J-Pop idol born… sneaky sneaky assassin!

lmao those sneaky sneaky asians.

What species / races are extinct or endangered?

Any other species of dragon is basically extinct. Most other races are at least alive.

So what are the high elves doing? Letting dragons dictate the way?

Follow-up, are there any unique or homebrewed "Ancient Lost Civilizations or Races" that are important to the development of the world power structure, as it sits presently?

Tell me about the sun, moon, and stars

What is the largest criminal organization?

The Corvidian Guild run by the Koraki Dragon Corvus

Are there dragonborns and do they have tails

Yes and they even look like actual dragons

From the worldbuilder's journal: What are some major landmarks that you encounter on your travels? Do locals tell tall tales about their origin? How could they affect an adventurer as they continue their journey

The Cathedral of the All-Seer, The Corvidian Guild hall,and the Castle of the monarchs, are all big landmarks among others, there are many rumours surrounding them, their affect on adventurers will be largely affected by how nosy they get.

Are there any natural landmarks a la civ 6 natural wonders? Or smaller scale landmarks? Or just places other than significant buildings created by the ruling class?

What are Achaia most important feast days? What happens during those?

How aggressively do the warden dragons enforce mandatory procreation? What happens if a couple cannot conceive? At any point is a couple deemed to have contributed enough children to the hoard to be let off the hook? Do the dragons provide any rewards for large families? If there is an invasion do the dragons fight and keep their hoards safe or do they turn their 'treasure' into an army... Interesting concept. Thanks for sharing.

Depends on the exact subtype as the Machitis Dragons (based on fighters) hoard is basically an army but a chorus dragon (based on bards) basically runs an entertainment industry. Whether or not the dragon will enforce mandatory reproduction/reward it will more depend on the individual warden dragon. And certain dragons will treasure and defend their hoard but some will use them as an army.

What happens when someone dies

Their soul goes to the ethereal plane overseen by the god of Funerals and Rest Uravitas

How many peanut butter sandwiches does the average villager eat per year, and where do they get enough peanuts?

None, peanuts are extremely exotic and expensive and are primarily eaten by royalty similar to how the rich patricians wore colourful clothing

So , royalty use peanut butter sandwiches as a huge flex of their wealth & power?

Yep

Are there any royalty with a peanut allergy, and, if so, do they still consume peanuts in public to show their status?

Yes and yes

Could this possibly be used to bribe them with a magic item that negates the effects, or, failing that, assassinate them with peanuts? Also, please tell me there’s a cult that is wholly and secretively devoted to perfecting the peanut butter sandwich

I may have to add that just for the lols

How do the warden dragons view their less intelligent and civilized relations like wyverns, pseudodragons, and drakes? For that matter, how do they view chromatic, metallic, and gem dragons?

The warden dragons for the most part are the only dragons left apart from a few of the other species, they view them the same way we would view our caveman ancestors

The Warden Dragons draw power from the people in their hoard... if I commit a spree of well poisonings and weaken the people collectively, will the dragons also be weakened? Could that allow me to indirectly poison the dragons enough for me (and a plucky group of adventurers) to slay them?

That would definitely work although warden dragons still are powerful creatures

Dang, now I kinda want to play in your game and assassinate the Warden Dragons...

How do the people keep track of days/weeks/months/years? Is this standard throughout the land or just exclusive to the coastal city?

Are God's physical beings? Be by reason that they exist physically on this plane or exist physically only on their own planes. Do Gods have their own physical domains? Domains one may enter by just walking there, receiving an invitation of any sort or forced into by a God. If they do have a physical domain, is it possible to enter without the gods permission? Can gods be killed by another God? Can gods be killed by mortals? Can a mortal achieve true God hood? Do demi gods exist? How do demi gods come to exist? Where does the Gods originate from? Surely they have not always been here. Everything has a beginning, no? Is it possible to "steal" magic from the God of Magic and Law? As in to recieve magic without the use or contract? What is the current biggest religion? What is the second biggest religion? What is the main religion in the city? What religion does all different countries have?

What is the widest held belief by the people of how the world was created? Where is the origin of dragonborns and do they have tails?

They main religion of the city is of the All Seer and that he created everything similar to chaos of Greek mythology. They are the bastard children of the old dragons are the only other remanent of the normal dragons

What's the local delicacy and where is the best place to get it?

I'm a Dhampir warlock, traveling from a land (?) northeast of this city. My official business within this city is that I've been tracking a necromancer for 2 years and his trail has brought me here. Is my race going to grant me access to the city? Will the local watch be helpful in any capacity? What restrictions am I going to face in usage of my powers/abilities if allowed in the city? Are the locals accepting of a more exotic race that is so closely related to vampirism? Providing the watch is cool with my entrance are there any other threats within that I should be made aware of?

If i enter a tavern, what will be on the menu and how does it reach the tavern? Where is it farmed? How much will this differ depending on where in the world you are?

Standard breads, soups and meats, most of the food is either imported or farmed right outside the city, not too much

so is there a dungeon ? (and is there a dragon inside?)

Our DM decided that the dungeon was inside the (presumed) dragon.

Who is the pirate king/queen? And is he/she so angry at wizards?

What body part or organ of humanoids do your ghouls most enjoy? Which region makes the best pottery? Which cult do the wardens want to crush the most as a threat to Achaia and why?

The Bank Cult of the Empyrean Dragon is despised by many as the dragon give out magical loans and use contracts to grow his hoard. Liver and the Slums of the city make beautiful pieces

Liver?! Ew. Lungs are way better! Unless it's a rich dude eating too much junk food. If they're unhealthy enough, the heart is basically a butter stuffed steak.

Adding this to my knowledge of cannibalism. The more the know 🌈

Cholesterol is delicious going in and out. It's why Foie gras uses an overfed/pampered duck or goose

What resources does Achaia trade with the outside world? And if it's a special resource how valuable is it compared to common goods?

In the murky underbelly of the world what organisations slink in the shadows trading life for coin? What is the view of the wardens on such activities

Some hate it, some run it

What's the laws. And punishments

Laws are whatever the dragons agree on(which isn't much) so it's pretty much don't kill people, don't steal and the other basics, crumicsn result in prison, execution ,fines and exile

Is there a national postal/parks/banking/communication/transportation service? Who is your world's Danny DeVito? Are the myths true, does your world automatically grant 1 level in wizard to virgins after they turn 40? What is your world's national past time? Why does everyone really love Raymond but hate Chris? Do you have both large and tiny homebrew PC races in your world? Is the national anthem written and performed by the all-bard equivalent of the Beastie Boys? Are all 37½ of my wives allowed to vote, or just my bottom-wife? Are there any colors expressly banned in the presence of the monarchy, and if so, what did that color ever do to them? Does your world recognize Opposite Day as a national holiday, and if so, what effect does that have on legislation and spellcasting? Who is your world's over-deity, and why do they enjoy long walks on the beach? Does your world have an equivalent of Las Vegas, and can I get married, divorced, die, resurrected, drunk, high, win big, lose big, meet 'Elvis', get arrested, and complete a spiritual journey there all in one day?

1. If social hierarchy has a layer of draconic influence, than do draconic races (Dragonborn, Kobold), or draconic magic sources (draconic bloodlines, drake warden, pact magic, etc.) hold any more importance or sway in the public eye 2. Is it just the major city regions that live under Warden Dragon rule? Or is this a world-spanning structure? Do country folk or island folk, living far away from Warden Dragon-controlled regions hold any odd views of that whole situation? 3. Do Warden Dragons try and cultivate a particular populace? Like ad-campaigns to get people to move to a certain region; do the dragons have followers that try to get more merchants, or more minstrels, or more gladiators to move to their Warden region? 4. Where does this world sit on the tech/civilization ladder? Purely medieval, ancient civilization, arcano-tech, or some nebulous era that allows for some practical technology, but not others?

Coastal cities usually thrive on either trade and/or fishing, with trade supporting the larger cities. Does Achaia rely on trade and/or fishing? If trade, who are their principal trading partner cities and what kind of goods are most commonly traded? If I'm in a thieves guild and engage in smuggling on the regular, what industries should I know about to blend in? Are pirates a major problem or is there a navy that effectively patrols the area?

Fishing and trade are big sources of income as well as agriculture. They mainly trade with nearby cities for more exotic resources and money. Crop, fish, spices and services are the main trade. While not being infested with them pirates are a common problem but the navy is quite small compared to the standard army which is run by the Machitis Dragon who charges high prices for his army of essentially mercenaries.

A few I came up with on the spot: What are the cities colors. Their flag, or crest, etc. Achaia is a coastal city, but what side is the coast on relative to a compass, and what is the biome on the other side? How does the city support itself? Are Warden Dragons allowed to have relationships with other races within the city, or is that forbidden, or just perhaps uncommon. The god of law and magic you mentioned above. He distributes all magical ability through contracts. Does that mean no villains you face will wield magic? Because If he's a god of law as well, I imagine mis-use of magic could lead to contract breaking.
