Bering

Most famous for having: the largest human population in such a blatantly dragon-controlled zone. Dragons are known to nest in the higher reaches of the Chucagk mountains, and the place known as Bering is the highest human settlement on the range. They are able to survive in such a dragon-infested zone by exploiting the mountain's cavern systems. They live in the caves, herding goats and growing hardly plants on the mountainsides, packing up and moving at a moment's notice. It's difficult for outsiders find them. Quick-as-wind scouts dash from cave to town to spread news-- exploits speaking of how many dragons were killed this past fortnight, trading their security services and ore for goods. It's not a comfortable or easy life. But their ferocity and interesting living arrangements have allowed them to survive thus far-- other human settlements of equatable altitudes on that mountain range were burned to ashes long ago.
