oohhh and in their kings hall is the skulls of the great dragons they've slain and one can have a battleaxe still sticking out of its forehead can already imagine a dwarven king describing the legends behind each skull

An old dwarf walks up to you in long flowing robes, his silver beard braided all the way down to his knees. You notice a battleaxe at his side adorned with rubies and gold, a dragon skull capping off the hilt. He looks up at the skull you are staring at in wonderment, easily as big as a house.
"This one here was Gravid The Mighty, He was Slain at the battle of the Bole. Killed around ten thousand men and dwarves before he fell to my great, great, great..." He held up his fingers counting back, finally he gives up and says.
"Well let us just say, a lot of greats ago the beast was slain with an arrow to the knee, from Fletcher the Archer. His arrow, one among thousands struck true."

"But how did a single arrow kill a dragon?" you ask incredulously. The Dwarf nods at you smiling.
"Poison my boy, poison made of the Nightgleam root. The beast fought on for three whole days with a dose that would have killed any less than a dragon in a few minutes." 
A siren blares in distance, the Dwarf narrows his eyes then draws his axe. "Dragon!!!" he cries. He looks you over before walking over to a display of weapons. He hefts his axe smashing it down upon the case. and tosses you a spear.
"Will you fight with me boy, will you be the first to slay a dragon since Agnemon the First?" Without another word he dashes off down the hall, will you follow to glory, or a glorious death?

Random inspiration hope you don't mind. Also it is hard to write in second person.

I have some reading to do through this thread to see what has been suggested 
@Zran, Arguably a great idea depending on how in depth the OP wants to go with this, World building is a lot of fun, it's great fun actually- but for a one-time thread it can be overwhelming to work on all of that. However, if Dark wants to go for an Allaria/Apocalyptica-esque type deal where it's continually rebooted (and if we appeal to the almighty Mahz) it can eventually become a sub forum for a world to play in.

Yeah I was more intending for the places we might visit for now, where characters come from too.
