Dragonland(not to be confused with The Dragonlands is an amusement park located in the city of Arindell and owned by High Mountain Bank and Trust. A similar park was opened on the Agras Plain. Both operated during the Sixth Age and through the end of the original Alliance era. As with many such attractions, they were closed through the Long Night.

When Arindell was rebuilt in the New Day, the park was re-opened(even featuring some of the ruins of the original as part of the new attractions) and a chain of parks owned by the Trans-Draconic Federation(some are jointly owned by the Gudersnipe Foundation.

Description

The park in Arindell has a very strong dragon theme among all it's attractions. In addition to the usual assortment of rides, displays, and shows, the park doubles as a sort of zoo, with mystical and rare creatures that can be seen in enclosures. A major draw for the park is the opportunity to see a real dragon, up close. However, that particular role is actually filled by a group of scaled Wyvern.

Despite the immense wealth of High Mountain, Dragonland quickly developed a reputation as a cheesy, over-priced tourist trap. Despite it's proximity to Arindell and the strong Slayer Dragon affiliation, the Flight was unwilling to license the rights to the actual Order of Slayer Dragons. Instead, they created a band of very poor yet obvious analogues that often skirted the lines of copyright infrignment, and who often were portrayed as the enemies(being "dragon slayers" in some cases.
