The High Mountain Flight is a dragon flight based out of Stormreaver Valley overlooking the city of Arindell. They are a direct offshoot of the Lowland Hills Flight which is rather famous for producing the dragon-sorcerer Draco.
High Mountain has always been known for its reasonably friendly attitude towards humans. The Atayan people were alowed to live on their lands for eons, some even in Stormreaver Valley itself in the shadow of High Mountain. During the Long Night they provided shelter for the craftsmen.
Land
The High Mountain Flight lays claim to most of the Stormreaver Range as well as the Lowland Plains and parts of the Agras Plain. They share this land with numerous offshoot and allied flights, all of whom can claim links to the Lowland Hills Flight.
High Mountain Bank and Trust
The High Mountain Flight is perhaps unique among dragon flights in that during the mid Fifth Age they opened and began to operate a bank. Originally called First Talon Savings and Loan and later changed to the moniker of the Flight, the bank quickly became very successful and a large source of income.
They began by showing several human bankers from various banks around the Eerie, the tour included a look at the Horde. They then politely asked those banks for loans. Though the Horde was never officially listed as collateral(as rumors would later claim) it was heavily implied that the Flight was plenty rich enough to pay. Official collateral did include several million acres of virgin forest that could become valuable timber land.
The dragons also recieved very generous interest rates on their loans(by virtue of being dragons) as well as a long repayment schedume. The money from the loans was then used to make loans to other humans, at much higher interest rates, thus opening First Talon. First Talon quickly became famous for it's nearly perfect repayment rate(as no one would dare default on a dragon).
However, rumors soon spread(rumors begun by the Flight, no doubt) that borrowing from the bank would make a buisness more prosperous, as it was 'dragon money' and therefore tied to dragon magic. Companies first in Arindell and soon all over the Alliance began taking out token loans. This large influx allowed High Mountain to buy several of the banks to which they owed money, thus forming High Mountain Bank and Trust, which by the mid-to-late Fifth Age was among the most successful banks in the known worlds.
