The Aydahar Confederation is a country populated by the draconic-blooded Aydahar and every manner of dragon on Otan. The country is made up of ten regions, five of which roughly represent a chromatic dragon (red, blue, etc.) and five which represent metallic dragons (gold, silver, etc.). About 80% of the Aydahar people bear the strong features and colors of their dragon progenitors. The rest of the country is made up of mixed colors, and features of varied and interesting combinations.
When Aydahar and Humans mate the result is a Half-Aydahar which naturally has even more human features than a regular Aydahar as their bloodlines dilute, the last feature they lose are their taloned feet. Half-Aydahar are tolerated in Aydahar society, though they are rarely treated as first class citizens.
In previous Aydahar Confederation history, the Ungir were spawned and the two races found it impossible to co-habit in the same country. The Ungir eventually moved north to form a country on their own rocky territory, the Ungirsi Federation. They have since grown and even thrived as a self governing people.
Aydahari Politics
The Aydahar Confederation is ruled by the Elder Council of Aydahar, which is made up of the ten regional elders. The council deliberates and rules on all matters of state. When the council is tied, the tie is broken by the Eldest of Aydahar, a title currently held by the venerable Kurban Adiljan.
Politics in the Aydahar Confederation are notably conservative. Sweeping changes to the country are rare and not since the Aydahar regions are also home to dragons, some of whom have inhabited the region for centuries. Dragons do not expressly participate in Aydahari politics, however it would be unusual for a Council Elder to embark on a major initiative without consulting with the eldest of dragons in the region.
