Six groups, or Houses offically founded the Queendom of Rastban over 2,000 years ago. Each House was gifted in communicating with dragons and the magic the dragons bestowed upon them. These six groups worked with each other to further their abilities and learn from the dragons.

That was until the House of Azhdeha became greedy and wished to rule over the six Houses. The leader, Lung'wa, decided that that he'd wanted to be the one. A council of six men, one from each house governed then the Houses, elected by the people, governed them then. Lung'wa felt that the House of Azhdeha should have sole say in important matters, for the founder of the House was said to be the one of two people first to be taught by the dragons.

This caused unrest among the Houses. It finally came to a head when civil war broke out among them. The Houses of Draco and Anguis joined Azhdeha, while the Houses of Tiamat, Hashteher and Rastaban join forces. The final confrontation was the Battle of Tres, which included the Houses of Azhdeha, Tiamat, and Rastaban. It ended when Iliana of Rastaban struck Lung'wa dead using a primitive weapon known as an atlatl.

When the council (minus Azhdeha) decided that men were out for domination. They then handed the reigns over to the women. The women, knowing that they would fight then decided that they would give one woman the power to make these decisions. And who better than the woman who killed Lung'wa? Iliana became queen. It was called the Tribal Lands of Wyrm until fifty years afterwards at the end of Queen Iliana's rule. The people changed it to the Queendom of Rastaban, after the House of their first queen.

Queen Iliana was 80 years old at the time of her death, and her only daughter had died three years prior. Her eldest granddaughter, Elspeth, then inherited the throne.

The children of the queen take their mother's last name of Rastaban. The queen's husband, may be called king if  he take his wife's name and prince if he wishes to keep his. This was established in the reign of Queen Ev'lyn I, daughter of Queen Elspeth.

Since then Rastaban has a few skirmishes and battles with other countries, but over all living in peace. Through time though, the Houses have drifted away from being taught by the dragons. Now it is usually for the First House of Rastaban and affluent families are the ones usually taught by them. Almost all the magic as been lost.

Queen Julie III wasn't that strong of a ruler and made some bad decisions based on what her advisors (all men) told her. She let them run her life. She married three times. First to David Vaqles. He died at sea. Then to Cristoff Caze-sen who died in a plane crash. Her third husband was (Her pervious husbands where of the Third House of Hashteher) the least like husband of all, Al'ver Yfelle of the Fifth House of Draco.

Yet he had to most influence over Queen Julie. Her other husbands had tried to get her out of her advisors' grasp. Then they died under questionable circumstances, except Al'ver. Whose father was Queen Julie's Head Advisor.

When she died this left her daughter, Queen Cora to try and right her mother's wrongs. She has gotten rid of all her mother's advisors, save one. The young Tanek Ryu. Yet, her stepfather, Prince Al'ver, has pushed advisors upon her. This forced her to create two cabinets, or Nooks. The First Nook is of those she trusts, the Second Nook is of those Prince Al'ver has suggested.

Still, the young queen is untried, inheriting the throne just before she was 18. By the "prince's advisors" (as they're called) she is being urged to marry a foreign man and many other decisions she isn't sure about.
