Even though much of the city has changed from its original roots it is the most multi-cultural city in the world. All different kinds of life, lives in this city and each has their own segment of the city. The prophets have their temple and the order of the dragon has theirs etc.… But due to having many empire conflicts happening they are not the friendliest of neighbors. They pretty much have become gangs trying to prove a point for patriotism for their empire.

This leaves the citizens in a state of unrest as they are no longer safe. Either by their leaders, dragons or the gangs who cause havoc and destruction day and night.

Armageddon and Vysox were appointed as leaders for the Golden City by the Black Draconium Empire. They encourage these gangs to go against each other and do nothing to prevent atrocities.

When it is mined they put the draconium through conversions away from the city so they are kept under control where they are eventually placed into weapons and gear.

The dragon life in Vulkania is much easier than those in some other states as even though they still don't have as much independence it is illegal to berate and treat them with ill will.
