Dragon Empires will create a world set when magic is plentiful and the lives of humans and dragons intertwined. Its world is one of 100 lands spread over five empires, a world that can be ruled by player clans, one where, uniquely, player-to-player combat is always possible and a world whose strongholds are guarded and policed by fiercely protective dragons. There are mechanisms to stop the world turning into anarchy; the basic rule is that, while a player can attack anyone, they risk becoming an outlaw. Outlaws become an instant target and can be hunted down by other players or face the wrath of the citys protectors - the dragons.
