The Dragon Kingdom's council stood at the foot of Dragon Terrace Mountain, its entire structure resembling a massive square stone.
It was said that in the early days of the Kingdom, the council held sessions several times a year, and the Dragon Race sent representatives to attend. Those Legendary Dragons would perch on the council roof and listen as the Speaker reported the results of each proposal.
