Dragonstone, is an island located northeast of Francterre, in between the Ninja Archipelago Gilneas. The island was settled in 740 by High Penguins from Valnor called the Valyrians, just two years before its destruction. Over the years, Dragonstone grew to become known as a powerful and wealthy country, and a fortress, resisting numerous invasions.

Since the extinction of dragons around 1075, Dragonstone has been the last known place where dragons live in abundance, though there is said to be dragon nests on other places in Antarctica, since it is said that dragons like the warmth of the Dragonmount, an extinct volcano in the middle of the island. According to some estimates, there are around 50 dragons on Dragonstone. To protect the endangered species, many laws have been passed to protect to welfare of dragons.

Foundation
Dragonstone was founded a group of High Penguins from Valnor in the year 740 AD, led by the High Penguin Lord Brandon Stark. These High Penguins, who knew how to breed and ride dragons, brought the first dragons to Dragonstone, which gave the island its name. They soon established the castle and port town of Dragonstone. When Valnor was destroyed two years later, Dragonstone became a haven for its many of survivors, who made up most of Dragonstone's population during the early years.

Middle Ages
During the middle ages, the Kingdom of Dragonstone colonized two nearby islands, became a major kingdom in the Stepstones, and became great allies with the Kingdom of the Stepstones to the southwest. Though Dragonstone was much smaller, its dragons made it a powerful kingdom. This growth threatened the Osloven Empire, who went to war with it in 1200. After four long years of war, and a stalemate, both sides agreed to a treaty, and the Kingdom of Dragonstone became great allies with the Osloven Empire, helping guard the north.

Post Middle Ages
The Kingdom of Dragonstone continued to rise after the middle ages. Because Dragonstone was a small country, it wasn't able to colonize new lands like the empires of Castilla, Francterre, Lisboagal, and Puffle'and. However, during this time, Dragonstone opened up new relations and trade with newly founded countries, including Tropicalis, and many of the countries on Ed Island. Dragonstonian ships traveled to countries in the Asiapelago, and even the Seal Islands far in the south. However, Dragonstone was still very isolationist.

Khanzem
When news reached Dragonstone that the High Penguin Confederacy had been overthrown, and the Khanzem War had begun, most in Dragonstone supported the High Penguin Confederacy, even though they were enemies in the past. The citizens and government of Dragonstone found Khanzem as a more dangerous threat, and decided to ally with their High Penguin kin to defeat Khanzem, which had already committed numerous atrocities against High Penguins. Thus, in 1914, Khanzem dispatched an army to invade the Osloven Empire, Teldrassil, and Dragonstone.

At the Battle of Evoland in 1914, a Khanzem army defeated an Osloven army, backed by Dragonstone and Teldrassil. Dragonstone and Stepstones forces retreated back to defend their homeland, as the Osloven Empire was being overrun by Khanzem forces. Fortunately, Khanzem stopped their conquests there, as they had more crucial matters to attend to. Still, Khanzem forces on Snowiny remained to powerful to be defeated, so Dragonstone stayed on the defensive for most of the war, sending supplies and weapons to the Good Guys.

Colonial Antarctica
After the Puffish established dominion over Antarctica in 1990, and had already invaded two islands in Teldrassil, they also attempted to invade Dragonstone, though because of its defenses, along with aid from Francterre and two Teldrassilian nations, they were defeated. Puffle'and never attempted another conquest of the island, abandoning their claim to Dragonstone.

When news reached Dragonstone of the first shots of the Colonial Revolution fired at Luckyton and Coconut, and that rebellions had broken out in the Puffish colonies in Teldrassil, Dragonstone was quick to send aid to the rebels, quickly expelling Puffish control of Puffish Teldrassil. A combined fleet from Dragonstone, sailed south, ravishing Puffish holdouts in the Province of Acadia.
