Wings of Fire: Dragons, Steel, and Pom-Poms

Summary:

The humans of Pyrrhia have been barely hanging on in their fight for survival for millennia. They have lived for generations under the talons of dragons, and are none too happy about it.

A transatlantic supply convoy from late 1942 has found itself no longer in the grim waters of the North Atlantic, but in a strange new world entirely.

The Allies will have to learn to navigate this strange new world. They must learn the strange ways of a strange people. As well as about a completely new- and uncanny- race of beings.

The natives will have to learn the ways of an alien industry, technology, and way-of-life.

 

As for the Dragons themselves, the SeaWings are losing in the War of SandWing Succession. They're backed into a corner, and are potentially open to options normally considered unthinkable...

Chapter 1: Human Map of Pyrrhia

Chapter Text

 

Annotated Version:

A typical simple hand-drawn map made by a novice cartographer, of a style that can commonly be found in the Indestructible City or Safe harbor.

Figured the humans deserved their own map, one that wasn't a copy-paste of the dragon-made map with "Here Be Dragons" all over it. I also wanted it to feel more like an actual fantasy-world map. Less like a Sat-map. Hence the cutoffs, slightly out-of-proportion features and resemblance to a map of Middle Earth.

Yes, it's also in the Pyrrhian Human language. I'm still workshopping it, but it will be a functional fictional language when I'm done. Dragons are also going to get their own functioning fictional language.
