Aurum

Location: The Platinum Provinces (West) Ruler: The Ancient Gold Dragon, Aurelius the Lawgiver.

Description: Aurum is the jewel of the continent, a city that looks less like a settlement and more like a dream of a "Perfect Society." Built in a massive, fertile valley around the lair of Aurelius, the city is constructed of white marble and gilded gold.

It is a city of open-air forums, massive libraries, and amphitheaters. There are no walls, for who would attack a city guarded by an Ancient Gold Dragon? The streets are wide enough for dragons to walk comfortably alongside the Metallic Dragonborn and Kobold citizens. The atmosphere is one of constant, quiet debate and learning. Dragons here are not just rulers; they are professors. It is common to see a Silver Dragon teaching a class on ethics to a hundred rapt Kobold scribes. It is a utopia of philosophy, art, and order.
