#My30DayWorld Second Attempt: Day 2: World Name and What it means to Me?

Day 2: World Name and what it means. 

Below is my answer to why my setting is named the way it is along with Lore reasons from within the Campaign. A little out there and a long one (sorry for the length), but It is info I wish to share.

Name

Kraina Smoków is a polish phrase when translated back to English means “Dragon-land” or in my mind “Land of Dragons”.

Reasoning behind it

The reason why it is called this is mainly due to me wanting to have a setting about Dragonborn, Dragons and anything else related to the Draconic parts of the 5th edition of the Greatest Roleplaying Game. More often than not, it seems Dragonborn are often a player option shunted off to the side or played by only one or two people at a given table (often not at the same time) while the other player races are doubled up or often tripled up at the table. The same could be said when it comes to NPCs with Dragonborn either being simply left out or being given a major role in the story with little in between (in my mind).

When looking at the name from an in-game perceptive of the Named and Unnamed NPCs of the world. The name “Kraina Smoków” to the Dragonborn is there stamp on the world. When Spelljammer Captains look at their maps and see the region of the Cosmos and the Disc-world labeled “Kraina Smoków” they know that that is the place the Dragonborn call home. It is the place you go if you want to see how the Draconic creatures and people dwell and live. To the Dragonborn, Kobolds, and Dragons who live on Kraina Smoków, it is there home among the stars. It is the place they found among the stars away from their old slave masters and the Evil Gods that sponsor and give them the divine right to enslave the Draconic creatures of the Cosmos.

An Exert from an NPC

Taken from the journal of Homor the Red -a Cosmic Explorer and adventurer -;

"The Dragonborn, Kobolds, and Dragons who dwell on Kraina Smoków are of a different breed. Having freed themselves from the bonds of slavery, they sought no yearning to tie one another back into the chains of Slavery. The Dragons have lost their greed for gold and lust for power freed their Kobold minions while the Dragonborn leveled the field with one another and sought each one equal regardless of past actions or Clannish ties. The Kobolds -seeing that neither group sought to punish or enslave them anymore- began to lay down the basic building blocks for their own clans and societies seeking to dwell alongside both the Dragonborn and Dragons as equals. Many members of the other Races thought our Draconic Union would end with one group slaughter the others but it hasn't. Kobolds help build and maintain our roads and tunnels, the Dragonborn forms the bustling traders, workmen, and common citizen that drives society forward and the Dragons protect our most valuable resources and the Union from both internal and external threats. Each Creature from the Stars has their place here on Kraina Smoków and each member treated as equals to one another.

Now 500 years after the foundation of our Great Union, it is still that same case. I just hope it can weather the approaching storm."

This has been my resubmission for Day 2 of #My30DayWorld.
