Medrovia

Medrovia is a Lorian city located in the Dragonspine Mountains, best known as the home of ten-thousand Vartai. There, humans, dragons, and half-dragons—magically made or otherwise—coexist.

Cyrus is current High Khan of the city and his order, the Dracomancer Order, is located there.

Characteristics
Medrovia houses the largest Vartai population in Battleonia. (...)

Due to the extreme difficulty of raising livestock in northern lands, especially near the mountains, the citizens live mostly off a diet of fish, in addition to the particularly hardy types of vegetables and fruit found in northern lands. The city is known to work out agreements with other nations in order to import exotic foods.

Vartai enjoy various celebrations throughout the year, including Frostvale. There are also four other holidays at the start of each season, the festivities devoted to each of the four most influential Avatars. Spring celebrates the creation of new life, summer brings order to that life, autumn balances it with chaos and freedom, and winter destroys that which no longer lives to clear the way for new life. Another noteworthy day is the day Medrovia was formed by Medros, the first High Khan of the Vartai. That day in particular is one where almost every Vartai takes the day to celebrate their culture and the Vartai's accomplishments in the years since the territory's foundation. Song and dance are highly common in both Common and Draconic tongues during the celebrations, as are appropriate feasts of the finest food and drink known to them.

The Vartai are also known to seek guidance from the five Draconic Avatars. Large temples dedicated to them are located in key points around Medrovia, and those seeking guidance are known to ask one of the Avatars directly in these locations.

History
Medrovia was founded a long time ago by a group of Vartai under the leadership of the legendary Medros. As a result, the city was named in his honor and he was appointed as the first High Khan of the city, the term itself being a form of the Draconic word for "Protector".

For some time all fared well in Medrovia, though Vartai of some elemental alignments chose to move farther south, to the Smoke Mountains, due to the region's warmer climate, forming two clans. While they existed peacefully for a time, Jalek Guth'Hai rose to power in there about 225 years before the events of AdventureQuest. Jalek managed to whip an entire clan of Vartai into an army, destroying anyone and anything that crossed its path, and gained a moniker he would become most fond of: Dragon King. Through his influence alone, he managed to start a great war between the two major Vartai clans. Most of those with the powers of Fire, Earth, and Water, sided with him, while those with the powers of Ice, Wind, and Energy remained to defend their homes in Medrovia. Gaspar, however, defeated Jalek and his army fled in terror, putting an end to the conflict.
