Dawnfire was the ancient capital of the kingdom ruled by the gold dragon King Orchtrien.[1]
The city was built as a single large castle. A wonder to the eye, the city seemed to be hewn from the top of its mountaintop resting place rather than being built there.[1]
In the heart of Dawnfire stood Orchtrien's royal palace. This was a high keep that contained Orchtrien's personal apartments and the quarters of those he wanted closest.[2]
Near Orchtrien's palace there also existed a grove of oak and shadowtop trees. This grove was the Elf Quarter in Dawnfire. High in the branches hung dwellings constructed on multiple levels, some portions enclosed, others, simple platforms. White, blue, and amber lamps glowed throughout the quarter during the evening.[3]
In −25,090 DR, Orchtrien destroyed large portions of the city, including the royal keep and fortress,[4] during the First Rage of Dragons (c. −25,000 DR).[5]
