Currently what I have so far -

The kingdom of Bruvel. Idyllically located on the continent's coast, this country has long dominated the neighbouring countries with its history of dragon husbandry. The oldest dragon lines come from Bruvel; the first tamed dragons were ridden on the fair plains of its northern lands, and Bruvel's proud citizens won't let you forget it. Dragons of different shapes and sizes are almost ubiquitous in Bruvel. They're used for transportation, heavy lifting, and sending messages, besides the mighty war-dragons whose wings flap as loud as thunder and whose bulk blocks out the sky.

However, over the years the other countries have begun to develop their own dragon lines and stables, threatening Bruvel's domination of the dragon market. Particularly Sarance, the country to Bruvel's south, has begun to rival Bruvel in terms of dragonstrength. It is well known that Sarance's queen has her eye on Bruvel's fair lands, and troops are said to have amassed across their border. Though war has not yet broken out, it looks to be near.

Bruvel has sent a group of messengers to the west to ensure that their ally, the kingdom of Gabront, still stands with them and will take their side in the event of war. However, the only safe way to Gabront puts any dragon rider or horse-riding messenger firmly into Sarance's territory. It is no longer viable to travel over Sarance; aside from the possibility of getting shot down, it would reveal sensitive material about Bruvel's war preparations. Instead, the messengers must travel through the Wastes.

The Wastes
The Wastes are the vast, swampy wastelands where wild dragons and other creatures roam. It is dangerous to take a dragon over the Wastes, as wild dragons often kill domesticated dragons on sight; as such, dragon riders cannot fly over them to reach the kingdom of Gabront. If a dragon is taken, it must travel on foot and secretly, perhaps even painted to look more like a wild dragon. It would be foolhardy to send a lone messenger through the Wastes; they would not make it out alive.
Exceptionally hard to navigate, even seasoned adventurers consider them dangerous–dangerous, that is, without a guide. This group of messengers has hired the best guide in the region, a reclusive Dragonkin. They will guide you through the Wastes, and, if you get lucky, you just might survive.

Basic Guidline of Characters, etc. -

DRAGONKIN-
Offspring of a dragon and human. Dragonkin are often shunned by society, and thus are driven out. Most do not make it when out in the wastes. The few that do, usually make into small tribes that manage to survive in the dangerous lands that are now there home. Though, due to their living in the wastes, most know the great swamps like the back of their wings. As such, when one needs to get through the wastes, a Dragonkin is often sought out for guiding them through the hazardous terrain.
Dragonkin are often human in appearance, though they have the features of a their draconic parent; horns, tail, claws, fangs, wing, etc.. This can also depend on the parent. Most Dragonkin, when they come to a certain age, usually in their 200's, they are able to take to a dragon form, though the dragon form is usually weaker than a usual dragon. However, their power is still not to be underestimated.

DRAGONS-
Dragons have always existed in the world. They are considered ancient, powerful beasts, often worshipped as deities. Dragons come in many shapes and sizes. Each have their own specific abilities, power, and weaknesses.
Domesticated dragons are actually uncommon among humans, as the taming process takes a very long time. Then when finished, it takes a lot to upkeep the beasts, taking lots of resources to keep the dragons happy in their confined places and stables.

HUMANS-
Typical human, typical day. Not much to say, as the humans have begun advancing in the world, magic and dragons helping them as they continue their stride into the world.
