Even in kingdoms ravaged by wars the people will come together to witness the best spectacle since sliced bread. Dragon tournaments are a sight to behold, people flock from all corners of the land to watch magnificent beasts fight to the death. The practice of dragon fighting comes from an ancient tradition of suitors battling their pet dragons against each other for a ladies love, however times have changed and dragons have become more common. So as to not have unlawful fights happening all over the cities the king decreed a huge arena be built for any sort of dragon violence. The arena contains sleeping areas for the trainers, stables and beddings for the dragons, training ground, mess hall, and of course several battlegrounds.

The player will take control of a young lord or lady who was gifted young wyrmling by their uncle when he returned from a trip in a far off land. At the start of the game you can choose which dragon you would like to start out with and customize your character.

The gameplay of the game consists of spending your time in the arena battling against other dragons to become more powerful. There is a level up mechanic to see how your training is going. You can fight dragons that are a higher level than your own however it would be foolish to expect to win. After each win you are gifted a bounty of winnings that can be used to spend on items and spells that will bolster your dragon during a fight. While not battling npc fights will happen in the background, there is a betting system which you can use to try and earn some extra coin if you bet on the correct contestant. Once you earn enough money you can also potentially buy new dragons from egg traders that often visit the arena from other lands, these dragons start from a low level as they are only hatchlings. There is also the option to barter with opponents you have defeated to buy their dragons if you don't want to train your own again, however it is easier to get more rare dragons from buying them as eggs.

The fighting itself will be played through a third person camera centered behind the dragon, wasd keys will be used to move with left and right click being used for things such as jump and bite. There will be the option for aerial battles too once your dragon becomes big enough to fly.

Once the player has completed the main storyline there will also be the option to fight against other players online and build up an online ranking.
