Te'athsh

Dragon Overlord: Ethnorian the Quick-Witted - Green Dragon

Founding
Te’athsh was not founded by Dragonborn; it was discovered. A wandering cadre of Dragonborn pilgrims stumbled upon the ruins of an archaic elven city while venturing in the dense jungle that would one day be the geographic barrier between Arkoshia and Bael Turath during the War of Ruin. The group quickly discovered the hoard of the dragon Ethnorian as the dragon was out collecting even more treasure for herself (it is unknown if the mighty dragoness was the cause of the abandoned-nature of the elven ruins but, alas, she was there). Upon her return to her nest, the green dragon flew into a rage and was about to devour the intruders when a quick-witted member of the party convinced the dragon to let the Dragonborn stay and act as her personal protectors, all the while making it so Ethnorian thought the whole idea her own. Shortly after, many immigrants ventured to the ruins to start a new life in the jungle ruins eventually building a city on top of the ancient site.

Architecture
The original and oldest buildings of the Green City are undoubtedly elven in origin. The original settlers and current fashions of the day have continued with that style and so a traveler to the Green City would swear he was in an elven capitol, save all the statues of Bahamut and proud Dragonborn walking the dirt roads.

Culture
Though Te’athsh is a Dragonborn city, it revels in its elven history. It is common for its denizen’s conversations with strangers to take place in Elven, reserving Draconic for close friends and loved ones. The city is built in the elven style of being one with the jungle and few trees are felled to clear land for new buildings; the new buildings are simply built around the trees and plant life. Many of the trees in the central part of the city were saplings hundreds of years before the city was settled by the current inhabitants.

Current Events
Te’athsh is not on the border of Arkoshia and Bael Turath, per se, yet it is the closest of the Nine Great Cities to the border. Due to this, the people of the Green City are constantly in fear of a Turathi offensive. Weekly drills and alarms are scheduled to ready the common townsfolk and military for the possibility of an attack. Many young Dragonborn warriors travel to the Green City hoping for a chance to prove themselves in the possibility of a great battle and so the forges of Te’athsh are constantly burning, churning out weapons for the defenders of the Green City.
