THE CITY: ((City information taken directly from Dragon Booster official website))

Sun City:
Built only over the last 200 years, Sun City is a sight to behold. Filled with ultra-modern, almost impossible dragon-inspired structures, Sun City pierces the tangle of the mid-city levels as it reaches high into the sky above. Comprising only the top mile of this twenty mile city, it is truly the only place in Dragon City where direct sun shines. Sun City is home to the most powerful and influential of Dragon City’s inhabitants and contains all of the government, corporate headquarters, university and science and technology centers in Dragon City. This is also where the very top of the Paynn Incorporated spire is located.
Sun City is also home to the Elite Class racing track which twists and turns throughout the city for literally hundreds of miles. Cradled and suspended across the very rooftops, it resembles a mad jumble of ribbons and belts dropped onto the spires and shoulders of upper city. A fall off the edge of one of the turns can send you plummeting straight down through the city the full mile to the abandoned and lightless bottom. That is if you aren’t lucky enough to land on the cross streets, bridges or ramps of one of the lower levels. Here the drama of city versus city sport is played out by the professional Elite Class racers, who battle like modern day gladiators and inspire Artha Penn and the teens of Dragon City to follow in their footsteps.

Mid City
Below the exclusive Sun City sits the cramped and overpopulated “Mid-City”. Constructed mostly 300 or so years ago, the vast majority of Dragon City’s residents live somewhere within these deeply shadowed and densely packed five vertical miles of city. As with all things in Dragon City, up costs more and down is less desirable. Unlike the upper city, here in mid-city, the architecture is a very liberal mix of styles and ages. Sometimes it looks ancient and unchanged, and other times it is a kluge of old and new. Mid-city also encompasses hundreds of different retail and business areas that are stitched throughout the various different “communities”. Here, corporations use entire electronic building facades for video ads or for live racing feeds. Advertising is most prevalent here primarily because here is where the consumers live and work. Mid City is the home of the Penn Racing Stables, Artha, Lance and Parmon Sean.
Mid City is also home to the famous All City Racing circuit, the place where all the teen wannabe of Dragon City hopes of being discovered by the powerful Elite Class Racing Teams. All City Racing takes place most exclusively in the cramped side-streets and alleys of Mid City with some use of larger Elite Class style tracks. Races often go through malls, side streets, alleys and down access roads ventilations shafts and such. Racers know the route because the electronic surfaces change color under them to show where the track is headed.

Work Town:
Existing for over 500 years, Work Town is part of the vast industrial revolution of Dragon City, a second age of power and commerce long after the almost magical and forgotten times of gold draconium power and the ancient dragon temples. Nearly three miles deep, Work-town is alive and vital and extremely blue collar. Most of the workers who work here come from down-city and most of the kids in Down-City and Squire’s End can expect to end up working somewhere on this level. Work Town is the home of industry and hard goods manufacturing. This is where dragon racing gear is built, where huge factories sprawl in every direction and where huge hydroponics farms supply food for the upper city through a cast system of elevators and access shafts. Some of these Agri-pods have access to sunlight from above through a system of mirrors and light grids but for the most part, Work Town is in the dark, lit almost exclusively by the fires of industry.
Work Town is very much like a living machine. Many of the huge support structures that hold up Mid City and Sun City are prominent in Work Town which reinforces the symbolic function of the people working here; that is, serving and holding up the bigger machine that is Dragon City. Here everything is huge in scale next to people.

Precinct:
Built throughout a part of the ancient Shadow City that is nearly 1000 years old, Precinct occupies the area that once served as a security buffer zone between the lawless lower depths and the under construction Work Town and Mid City. Today, Precinct is an ultra-modern fortress of law and order. Built within a central core of walls and fences, Precinct looks like a giant spider and it beats like a steady heart deep at the center of Dragon City. It has spires of tunnels that radiate out from it and feed up and down in Dragon City and out to distant satellite outposts that allow Dragon City Security forces to deliver Gargoyle Pursuit Dragons and mammoth Station Class walking jails wherever needed. Precinct is the home of Captain Faier and his dedicated team of security officials.
Lit like a Christmas tree, Precinct can be seen like eerie glow in parts of both Work Town and Shadow Town. Precinct is only a mile from top to bottom but spreads its long arms of the law for hundreds of miles in every direction.

Shadowtown:
Deeper under the city and nearly three miles from top to bottom is the almost forgotten Shadow Town. Here, massive magma-electric plants hum and thunder to supply the entire city with its non-draconium power. While nearly 1500 years old, these plants are well maintained and are huge in scale. Turbines the size of a small downtown and gigantic gears, winches and cables move all around this level creating the sensation that a visitor is inside a machine rather than working next to one.
The sparse but severely dedicated population of Shadow Town is like the engineers on a large passenger ship, you hardly ever see them. They are the custodians and operators of these vast and ancient power plants which are a technological blend of natural planetary heat and water power. The inhabitants of Shadow Town are dirty, hardened but not filled with a sense of greater purpose. There is no light in Shadow Town except for the huge arcs of electricity and lightning created by the vast power plants.

Down City:
Mostly abandoned, the 2000 year old Down City is the home of Squire’s End and the dangerous Down City Crews of Dragon City. It is also where the poor or lower class income families live in large blocks of closely built, city run, apartments. Like Shadow Town, Down-city lies in a perpetual night except for the neon lighting of the Down City Crews who for the most part, douse their “turf” with the predominant color of their draconium affiliation.
Three miles deep, Down City and Squire’s End are full of abandoned buildings ranging from old broken power plants constantly belching water from broken mains, to dilapidated palatial estates that lack any kind of modern conveniences. This strange mix of architecture, gives the dirty Down City an air of history to it although an obviously forgotten history. This works well, since the Down City Crews are the remnants of the splintered factions of Dragon Empires who once reduced the planet to war! They don’t realize that their very homes are built upon the very tops of the ancient temples of Dragon City’s magical but war torn past. One of these temple tops, unknown to the very Down City Crews who use it, is the home of the Down City Council Chamber! The tough street racer Kitt Wonn was born and maintains a home here.

Old City:
Only the fiery Dragon Flares Crew, the secret Keepers Crew, Mortis and some of the more dangerous and hidden creatures of Dragon City dare to live down here the very bottom four miles of Dragon City. The Temple Level houses the vast network of Dragon Temples where humans and dragons once lived and worked side by side as equals and also contains the remnants of the golden draconium powered technology that once unified the planet. While almost entirely dark, the now deeply pitted and tarnished golden draconium panels, the machinery and artwork glow a cold eerie glow when any life form, human or dragon passes. This coupled with what is left of the brightly colored, ceramic tiled streets, now mostly flooded from broken water mains far above, cast a strange and shimmering flicker throughout the area. Fully 3000 years old, the original Dragon City contains many secrets waiting to be discovered, hidden races of dragons, dangerous old temple ruins and terrifying and destructive forgotten dragon bone-marks!
The Old City is where Artha finds the dragon cave, meets the mysterious Mortis and gains the ancient armor of the Dragon Booster. Here is where Artha and his friends discover the incredible history of Dragon City and its ancient and terrifying Dragon-Human War!

Places:
*See the City ((above)) for more information about the specific parts of Dragon City
**This guide was written by myself

Penn Racing Stables
Located in Mid City, this is the home of Lance and Artha Penn. When Moordryd attacked the stables in an attempt to steal Beau ((the Choosing Part 1)) the stables were destroyed as well as the majority of the house. Later, after Connor reveals that he was Mortis and resumes his life as Connor Penn, Connor rebuilds and repairs the damage caused by the Dragon Eyes crew. We are unsure whether the stables are going to be returned to their use for Connor's dragon breeding, as the show hasn't progressed that far yet.

The Wastelands of Loanne
There is much skepticsm among fans about whether this is part of Old City or outside the city itself. It is a barren land, covered by ruins of old buildings and shrouded in fog. It's where the Muhorta resides, as well as many Hydrags.
What is not disputed, however, is that this is actually on the ground, not built on top of other buildings, like the rest of Dragon City.

The Dragon Temple
This is where Mortis resides. It is accessed by Artha through an elevator hidden in Beau's stall. The elevator transcends the all of the city levels between Mid City and Old City in order to take Artha to the temple.

Scale Citidel
This is located in Old City. It is where the Furox bonemark was housed before Word sent the Down City crews to locate it. It is filled with traps and dangers that attempt to deter any visiters from actually getting to the bonemark. The Furox bonemark was absorbed by Beau in Pride of the Hero, so we have no clue what has become of the Scale Citidel

The Lost Track of Doom
Also located in Old City, the Lost Track of Doom is where the Prophets test the worth of humans and dragons. Built on top of it, unknown to the constructors, is a modern-day track, still used for competitions.

Down City Council Chamber
 Located in Down City (duh), its location is supposed to be secret. The Down City Council, decended from the factions from the original Dragon Human War, was created to insure peace between the crews and attempt to stop another war it it started. The leader of the Down City Council (currently Phistus) is chosen by a dragon joust. The winner of the joust is the strongest, and therefore the leader. The Keepers, Mechanists, Prophets, and Penn Racing are not members of the Down City council, although Artha does make appearances at the meetings occasionally.

Green Draconium Outpost
This is a citadel, similar to Scale Citadel. It was an outpost of the Green Draconium Empire from over 3,000 years ago, before the first Dragon-Human War. It is adorned on the top of the building with the Grip of the Dragon crew symbol, a fist. The main entrance doors are also two fists that pound shut. The center of the complex is a large chamber, appearing to be some sort of meeting chamber. It is located in the Wastelands and many hydrags live in the surrounding areas.

NOT WRITTEN BY ME

(Listed below are other dragons and creatures that appear in the DB show that can be used freely in roleplay for plots or other. You do not have to create profiles for these "one time only" creatures(unless you plan to use and name a specific creature for use in plots again and again), as they tend to pop up every now and then.)

-The following information is from Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragon_Booster -

Wraith Dragons
Wraith dragons are ghost-like dragons under the control of a type of black draconium gear. Wraith dragons are more of victims to Word than villains, as they are dragons stolen and controlled to do what Word wants them to do. They can turn invisible and the best types are the swift and stealthy. Word sometimes uses these for spying and traps, but occasionally provides several for Moordryd whenever necessary.

Hydrags
Hydrags are large, teal, serpent-like dragons with yellow eyes. They usually live in dark, empty places, or underground in unstable places, and only come out when a victim is in their sight. Hydrags will shoot out from their hiding place, devouring their victims or biting them to bits, then returning to their original hiding place as quickly as they came up. They are very dangerous and are mostly seen (probably unwillingly) around deserted areas.

The Muhorta
A large and dangerous vampire dragon that hides in a cave somewhere in the City of Loane (Old City). The Muhorta was a part of the original dragon-human war, and works parallel to an energy draining whip, draining the energy out of helpless dragons and humans. Like a Hydrag, it stays in hiding until it spots a victim, then tentacles snap out at any unfortunate passer-by.

Yellow-belly newts
Yellow-belly newts are miscellaneous to Dragon City dragons, and are instead what they are clearly called: yellow-belly newts. Their color features are yellow and blue, with a long, blue tongue and a leaf-shaped tail.

Crow-drags
Crow-drags are a type of flying creature, also miscellaneous to Dragon City dragons. They resemble crows and, like many birds, are attracted to shiny objects. This is proven in "Darkness Falls", when a Crow-drag steals the gold star amulet. Luckily, Lance goes on a quest to retrieve it, and gave it back to Artha, just right before a massive black dragon onslaught.

Tracking Dragons
Tracking dragons are purple and green insectile dragons with wings like a dragonfly's. Extremely compact, they can be carried around in palm-sized pods and released to follow unsuspecting dragons/riders. Their large eyes feed back to the pod, enabling the owner to see their quarry. They are mostly used by the Army of the Dragon Down City Crew, although Moordryd and Parmon also employ them at various points.

Drag Boxes

Drag Boxes contain about four small orange base colored dragons with red designs over their bodies. They have small bodies in proportion to the head, and curl up when not in use. They eat all draconium gear they can get their teeth on and never seem to need to stop eating. They are quite obnoxious and bold, and do not fear riders and dragons. They are employed by Moordryd in the "Choosing-Part II."-

Drago-slugs

There is no information about drago-slugs on Wikipedia. They are seen in "No Paynn, No Gain".

PLANTS AND PLANT INFORMATION:
Plants seem to not be a very large part of Dragon City. Seeing as the city is built layer-upon-layer, it's probably difficult to get soil from the bottom of the city for plants. One of the few gardens we've seen is Connor's Japanese style garden in the Choosing part 2, when Kitt, Parm and Lance fall off the cliff.

Dragon City Lingo Guide

Everybody's been wondering what some of the things people say in Dragon City. Well, I had some free time and I like making guides, so here its is.  I've had this list for... a year or so.
