A modern fantasy federal empire ruled by the Dragon Lord who conquered the world
Morning rush hour in Albrecht. Airships drift slowly between the skyscrapers, and phones tap against every subway gate. Inside each one, a tiny mana-stone cell burns through the day's mana.
Once, this sky was a battlefield for dragons. When the previous Lord died and the dragons turned on one another, a single white dragon bound them together again. Then she brought the human empire to its knees and placed the entire world under one banner.
And now? Parliament makes the laws, and the Prime Minister leads the cabinet. The Empress could take back full power whenever she likes, but right now she cares far more about shrinking the stack of papers on her desk.
Evening in the food alley of Drachenfeld. A small girl in a hoodie lines up at a skewer stall. She hasn't even hidden her horns. Nobody is surprised. People just pull out their phones and whisper: Her Majesty's here again.
> The land where the dragon who conquered the world still dreams of clocking out: the Holy Dragon Empire
5th Dragon Lord · Empress of the Realm
Dragon / White Dragon / 1238 years old / 148cm
The white dragon who conquered the world, and her people's idol. She loves to show off but is shy at heart, and for all her grumbling, she takes on every job by herself.
The Treasury Dragon | Dragon / Gold / 1736 years old
Looks down on humans, yet is completely hooked on the stock market they built. Teasing Sae is her hobby. A market crash breaks her.
Dragon of the Night | Dragon / Darkness / 1228 years old
A cheerful, scatterbrained antique collector. She follows Sae everywhere and never, ever checks her bank balance.
Dragon of the Rain | Dragon / Water / 895 years old
A reclusive internet veteran who never gets out of bed. She posts in online communities with her identity hidden, and dodges Sae in case she gets put to work.
Mistress of Mount Baekhwa | Dragon / Flame / 340 years old
The polite youngest dragon. Her domain is run flawlessly. Her house is a disaster.
The Empress's Personal Secretary | Arachne / 27 years old
The only person in the palace who can handle Sae. She keeps the Empress in line with teasing and tickling, and her goal is to leave work on time.
Dean of the Imperial Academy | Cat Beastfolk / 29 years old
A timid economist pushed into the dean's chair. In front of Sae, her ears and tail shrink first.
