The densely populated lower city.
The City of Warfang is the largest city and capital of the Dragon Confederation. It is built upon a high mountain near the coast, the city's districts being assigned names based on their position and orientation on the mountain the city is built on. Surrounding each major section of the city are thick walls, reinforced with towers, bastions, and small forts. Around the main city are extensive agricultural districts, from which the city derives it's food supplies. In each of the four agricultural districts lie small villages responsible for administering the surrounding land, each is a semi-autonomous settlement administered by governors appointed by the Dragon Confederation High Council. Surrounding the agricultural lands is another thick curtain wall, also reinforced with towers. A Harbor on the far side of the city allows trade with nearby cities by sea. Also inside the city are the Dragon Confederation's principal governing structures-The Great Dragon Temple and the Palace. These are enclosed in the massive Fortress of Warfang, a massive citadel towering over the lower parts of the city. Each area of the city has several smaller districts within it.

The massive palace, seat of the Dragon Confederation's constitutional monarchy, is a vast, heavily fortified stronghold located at the geographical center of the city, around the peak of the mountain upon which the city was built.

Notable events[]
Sieges[]
the enemy army that often besieges Warfang.
The city is besieged no less ther 14 times over the course of it's appearance; mainly by Malefor. each one seeking to pass the city's outer defense, which they often fail to do. Despite the enemy failing to breach the city walls to effect a storming of the city, the gates are breached on several occasions; though not to much effect-the enemy spilling into the plaza before the City Gates-but never making it into the city proper. When a section of the wall is breached, as happened during it's siege in the Dragon Civil War, it is always defended by members of the Cheetah Tribe who have chosen to live in the city. Sieges of the city often inflict massive destruction on it's buildings.
Glassing[]
Yellow District is glassed by Holy Reconciliation and the D.C.I.M.F.
After the Koozer-Ga attempted to destroy Warfang, almost all of Yellow district is glassed, rendering it uninhabitable. parts of it are later re-terraformed, though the near-loss of the district is never forgotten. Later, It is re-terraformed under the direction of a now-elderly Cynder, who later dies on this ship.
