Jaerx Ver'oss



Dragon Overlord: The Golden One - Gold Dragon

Founding
The history of the Gold City shares the same thread as the Silver City. The brother Ver’oss found a single gold coin in the huge grasslands and began to pray. Just as it happened to his brother, nine days later a gold dragon appeared and told the retired mercenary to settle.

Architecture
In contrast to the Silver City, the architecture of Jaerx Ver’oss is far simpler than the massive columns and colossal buildings of its twin city. Many of the buildings are long thatched-roof single-room clan houses that house entire extended families yet not to the scale of the huge houses of the Black City. Very few of the buildings in the Gold City are stonework as it is very difficult to find enough raw stone to quarry in the middle of the grasslands.

Culture
Though the Blue City is home to the largest population of kobolds in the Empire, Jaerx Ver’oss has the most influential population. Many wealthier kobolds live in districts with Dragonborn and the smaller cousins are generally treated as equals by the common citizen of the Gold City. In fact, the Gold City is the only place in the empire where a clan of kobolds once acted as personal guardians of their patron dragon (though it was only for a few hours) during a tumultuous political era. Nevertheless, kobolds here are beginning to strive towards equality with their larger cousins.

Current Events
The kobold population of the Gold City has recently undergone a huge boom. With this, many kobolds are earning respect and wealth enough to move out of the slums into the nicer districts of the city. Now, kobolds of the Jaerx Ver’oss are even venturing out of the city, some even joining the ranks of the military to aid in the war against Bael Turath. Sadly, the Gold City’s long sisterhood with the Silver City is being tried as the residents of Jaerx Shash hold onto the notions of the older generations that kobolds are nothing more than a nuisance.
