I like the dragon riders idea.  I was thinking of that myself.  Perhaps there could be a group of dragons riders who turned evil, or they could fight against evil wizards and witches?  Maybe the dragons are going extinct and they have to prevent that?  Or maybe there is a person of power who wants to ban dragon riding?  These are just ideas, I’m brainstorming.

Ooh, that's a good idea! let's go with that if Sorrelshine and PygmyOwl like it.

And @DoodleGirl actually you can still join! 

Two clashing political parties perhaps? An empire versus a rebellion? The possibilities are endless….

What if, we had a "person of power" trying to ban dragons, and then a group of rebels trying to protect them, because they are the only ones who understand the dragons?

Yay, I'm so glad I can join! Honestly I agree with everyone else about the topic, so are we going to each make a character(s) and start it like a normal rp, just with more talking about the actual plot beforehand?

What if we had a person of power trying to ban dragons, that person has a group of followers.  Then there is a group who like dragons, though they aren’t riders, and want to keep them.  Then there’s the group of dragon riders who, of course, want to keep the dragons.  I hope that makes sense.  Maybe it’s too complicated?

@Sorrelshine that sounds good! The kingdom could be divided, basically, into the 3 groups? Or maybe there could be a group that doesn't care about the dragons but is afraid of the person of power/king/queen so they are on their side.

Anyway, if you all like this idea, let's decide the name of the kingdom and maybe the terrain a bit, and make our charries! Question: Are we going to have dragon charries?

And finally, @DoodleGirl, yes this is like a regular RP, except we actually talk to each other about what's going on xD I mean, we'll probably be discussing the plot the whole way thru. 

Sooo…what if we set it up something like this:

The Dragon RIders are an ancient and powerful organisation, revered and respected throughout the land.  They have been involved in countless wars and peace treaties throughout the centuries, acting upon the interests of the dragons of Emarya. They have long had an understanding with the Emaryan crown, that they may provide aid when the people of Emarya need them, but that they shall act as an independent organization not under the jurisdiction of the crown. 

But now, the king of Emarya wishes to seize the homelands of the dragons for his own. He has offered extravagant sums of money and power to the Dragon RIders, offering them service under his rule as the highest of military powers. He refuses to recognize that they are not warmongerers, nor that they have no need of his gold or his military. He doesn't realize that the dragons are far more than simple dumb beasts, that they are proud and highly intelligent creatures with no use for pointless wars or the affairs of humans. He sees the dragons as tools, machines which he can use for his own purposes. 

Just an idea, feel free to build on this.

Oh, Sorrelshine, you write so… I don't know, poetically. Anyway, some ideas  to build on yours.

Maybe the king gets into another war and decides to seize the dragons, but foolishly, because the dragons and dragon riders chased them out. But one (or several) dragon riders, or one of the pro-dragon people, is captured and taken to the castle, where they make friends with someone(s) in the castle, and stuff happens…

I think the throne should have been corrupted by a person or group that opposed the dragons riders. I think Azazel is a good name for an evil person, or if it's a group, it can be the Azazel

Also how do you pronounce the kingdom name?
