Dragonhatch

A volcano island said to have been the birthplace of the first dragons and now the home to the Dragonborn, a race born of the dragon-blood in order to serve them. Though no dragons live there anymore, the Dragonborn continue to worship the volcano that is said to have spawned them. They believe one day the massive volcano will erupt, blocking out the sun and making the world uninhabitable to any but the dragons.

Dragonhatch is unfriendly to anyone without dragon-blood in their lineage, though sorcerers and others who can prove just a small touch of the blood are welcome with open arms. They are a religious society, ruled by the priests who claim to be able to talk with the volcano. When not worshiping, they are fighting in competitions for the favor of the dragons, fishing on their long, maze-like docks, and creating ballads of the past and future glories of their kind.

Some of the priests believe the war is a sign that the end is near, and the volcano's eruption is due.
