Drakonia (formerly)House Dragomyr is a former Great House that originated in the Drakonian Peninsula. They began their reign thousands of years ago in the Drakonian Peninsula, when they began the construction the shining city of Drakonia. They were deposed and put to exile by a union of Houses, most notably Karthmere and Grimolt, among other lesser Houses. Since then, House Karthmere and Grimolt have been at odds to take their place on the Seat of Embers. House Dragomyr's sigil is a black dragon on a red background and their words are "Dragons do not Bow".
History
Age of Legends
House Dragomyr was a powerful Great House dating back over 7 millenia ago. Their line was believed to be first created sometime in the Age of Legends by the legendary Aegor I the Strong; although it is said they go back farther. Legend states that Aegor I was the first man to have found and hatched dragon eggs and was responsible for building and creating the Kingdom of Drakonia. Drakonian myth states he built the city with his hands and molded it together with Dragonfire. He began his reign as the first Dragonking and conquested the entirety of the Drakonian Peninsula, forcing other nobility to bend the knee.
Later in his reign, he became an avid Dragon breeder and gave Dragon eggs to his wife and children. They would later on use them as mounts and ride them into battle. Aegor had the Dragomyr coat of arms emblazoned with a black Dragon in honor of this.
During his reign, a courier arrived with news of wild Dragons roosting on the same mountain he had found the Dragon eggs. He climbed onto the back of Gavarex, his oldest Dragon and departed, but never returned. The Drakonian throne was usurped shortly afterward by House Varalys and Aegor's heirs most likely went into hiding and regained themselves but not much else is known of their status.
2nd Era
Rhaegor I Dragomyr began his rise in power in the 2nd Era. He was responsible for building the Dragomyr Villa located off the coast of Ceryne.

Rise of Draegon Dragomyr
Draegon Dragomyr rose to power after his father Rhaegor II had passed. He began setting out beyond the peninsula, more so than the previous line of Dragomyr Lords. During his travels, he found a large volcano, smoking at it's peak. He gathered his unit and marched toward it. He was amazed to have found a clutch of 4 Dragon eggs nestled in a warm cavern that dug into the volcano.
His discovery sparked much interest from the people of Drakonia and Draegon found himself reading ancient text on how to handle the eggs, or perhaps hatch them. He studied the words carefully and kept the eggs well heated for the next few months. During that time, he gathered materials needed to perform a hatching ritual, to give the Dragons life so that they can burst through their shells. Once ready, he began the ritual. The last requirement of the ritual, was to sacrifice your blood to give life to the Dragons, to which Draegon slit the palm of his hand.
The flames grew bright and the Dragons arose from those flames, hatchlings they were, about the size of a human hand. From there, Draegon took them back to Drakonia and announced the rebirth of Dragonkin to which the Drakonian people were overjoyed to hear. Draegon was coronated and named himself Dragonking Draegon of House Dragomyr, the First of his name, King of Drakonia, Father of Dragons, and Defender of the Peninsula.
