Dragon Kingdom (竜王国) is a human nation of the New World. It was founded by the Brightness Dragon Lord and now his/her great-granddaughter, Draudillon Oriculus rules the Kingdom.
Background
The Dragon Kingdom was founded by the Brightness Dragon Lord. Taking a human as a mate, he or she created the royal family line of the Kingdom. By doing so, he or she has granted all his or her descendants access to the long forgotten power of Wild Magic.
Despite the Kingdom's rich heritage and history, it faces constant harassment from the neighboring Beastman Country, whom raids the Kingdom to use humans as a food source. In recent years, the raids from the Beastman Country have changed into an all out invasion, with the Beastmen intending to conquer the Dragon Kingdom followed by the other human nations. Currently, the Beastmen have already conquered several cities, forcing the Dragon Kingdom to request for military aid from the Slane Theocracy and the Baharuth Empire.
Chronology
The Magic Caster of Destroy Arc
- Main article: The Magic Caster of Destroy Arc
The current ruler, Draudillon Oriculus talks with her advisor about the dire state that the Dragon Kingdom currently finds itself in. Draudillon wonders about their lack of aid, in particular why the Slane Theocracy hasn't send its Sunlight Scripture like it usually does. Her advisor then informs her that a certain magic caster founded a nation and declared war on the Re-Estize Kingdom, but she just dismissed it claiming they should focus on the troubles of their own nation.
Culture
It seems that the Dragon Kingdom is in a dire financial crisis, due to heavy reliance on outside military aid to protect their borders and the increased expenditure on their military in fending off the invading beastmen.
Military Strength
Because of constant attacks from the Beastman Country and having to rely on the Slane Theocracy and Baharuth Empire for military aid to fend them off, it can be assumed that Dragon Kingdom's own military strength is in a very bad shape. It likely does not have the funds to build up a good military because they have to pay ransom to the other nations in return for their aid.
Foreign Relations
The Dragon Kingdom is heavily dependent on other countries for its defense and protection as the country is unable to fund a decent military of their own. Fortunately, all the other human nations recognized that the Dragon Kingdom is the only obstacle that keeps the advancing beastmen at bay. In addition, the Queen personally enlists the local adventurers to support defending the kingdom.
Slane Theocracy
Dragon Kingdom pays tribute to the Slane Theocracy each year in order for the Theocracy to dispatch troops against the Beastman Country.
Baharuth Empire
The Baharuth Empire is a neighboring state of the Dragon Kingdom, though relations between the two powers seem sour due to its emperor having a personal dislike towards the Kingdom's monarch. Though it does send military aid, albeit with reluctance, not out of charity but as necessity. In fact, the Dragon Kingdom's existence is what's keeping the Beastman Country from invading the Empire's territory.
