Hook
The continent has food, timber, stone, and most known resources, but its courts quietly bar dragonborn from public office.
Warningfall is a broken world of floating continents, drifting islands, and seas that pour forever over the edge of creation. Its peoples survive by bridges, skyships, old roads, and treaties that cross impossible distances. Dragon-city shelters metallic dragons and dragonborn, the northern Trih-keen guard ancient colonies, and enormous eastern trees hold a city above the forest floor. The central continent has nearly everything, but dragonborn face suspicion there, while the western city claims every people can live together.
