Dralchon

The z'Dragchon City state, or City of the Dragon was a small independent city-state on the coast of Hulbark, conquered by the Ruzian Union as a vassal of Hulbark and eventually dispossessed by the Valruzian Federation.

One group of sea people did not fully assimilate, although they adopted the language of the Ruzians for diplomatic use. Interestingly, recent documents have come to light indicating that they spoke a language similar to English well into the Mercantile era. Since historians know that the sea peoples who overran Aralaman and Ishchant did not speak English (which also raises the question of whether "z'Dragchon" is a corruption of "the Dragon"), this raises an intereseting issue. So far the most widely accepted explanation has been that as a coastal city which traded more with the sea than with the interior, they adopted the English language instead of Ruzian. Others have wondered as to whether the sea people were not one people, but several.

Regardless of the origins of the founders of Dragchon, the city served as an independent state in its own right almost up until the unification of Valruzia. The influence that this city had was small however, and the most notable contribution to Valruzian history was when an heir to the dispossessed line founded the Anarchist Party in Valruzia, a party that's been active in various forms for over a century.

Today the city is deserted and notable as a historic curiousity, with architecture very different from any in Valruzia.
