Dragon King, also referred to as King of the Dragons, is the title given to the leader of Dracos in Endless Utopia Online.
It was historically held by House Aldrake, but after Heleanne's Rebellion, the throne passed to Heleanne, lady of House Albion.
History and Lore[]
The Dracos have always organized their territory as a monarchy, with the title of Draco King.
This changed during the succession crisis of King [REDACTED], who died without a definitive heir. Several diferent dracolords then claimed the title of Draco King, begining the War of Draco Succession.
Eventually, the title was first held by a commoner named Bowein, the first known Dragon Rider in history, who was adopted into House Aldrake and married the daughter of the then lord [REDACTED]. Most notably, Bowein was a staunch defender of the Dragon species, which opposed the ancient tradition in Draco society of hunting and killing them.
Once he gained the crown, hechanged the name of the title from "Draco King" to "Dragon King", as to remind all Dracos that their society had forever changed.
His successors inherited that title as well for hundreds of years until [REDACTED] the Mad, who was eventually dethroned and killed during Heleanne's Rebellion.
Powers and Prerogatives[]
The Dragon King was originally a hereditary absolute monarch, with supreme power over the state and it's inhabitants, not unlike the Emperor of Darkness. His authority was absolute over the nation, with his powers encompassing all aspects of governance, society, and law.
After the Great Dragon War, and the subsequent death of a significant number of Dragons, Dragonids, many dracolords, and a significant amount of the population, an attempt to unify the scattered pieces of the Kingdom was made by the establishment of a Constitution, meant to limit the power of the Dragon Kings, and establish a series of foundational principles that were meant to unite the surviving Dracos.
The powers and prerogatives of the king were significantly reduced, and the dracolords increased their power. Among other things, it was determined that the King could not establish taxes without the consent of the dracolords, and their approval through a council was necessary to do so. In exchange, it was established that the Dragon King could keep most of the Dragons and Dragonids.
