Odd’s Fantasy Colonialism Builder

Welcome to a world on the brink of great changes. For countless ages the lesser races of these lands lived in fear of the many fearsome monsters of this world and none were more feared then the Dragon. For they could wipe out entire villages in the span of a few terrified heartbeats. But that all changed during the dawn age. The lesser races learned new skills, of magic and artifice and managed to fight and push the monsters back. Then the great boon came, the discovery of dragon oil. Harvested from the fire organs of the great wyrms, a single drop could burn for hours  and with it came light in the darkness, energy to build and create and even ships to sail the skys. It was the fuel upon which a new world was build. The folk of this world reached heights never thought possible. But now is the dawn of a new age, the lesser races have become great. Forging might empires and mastering the resources of this world. The hunters have become the hunted and the dragons are disappearing, hunted for their vital essence that brings light to the great darkness, Without the oil the empire's would wither and die. Great wars are fought over the breeding grounds of the true dragons and even the lesser drakes are pursued with greed.

A new land has been discovered on the other side of a mighty ocean, great walls of fog weeks thick separate these two continents, but it is a land of undiscovered potential. This is where you come in. You are the leader of an expedition to found a colony in this new world. You are a person of great baring, and it is up to you to start a new life for you and those with you in a world of unknown peril.
