World idea

Alrighty, Nitehawk wants us to brainstorm, so let's brainstorm.
This is a continent map I've had laying around for a bit, which is one of the many I went through when I was trying to determine what the landmasses in some novellas I've been working on look like. The label I slapped on it is Kavollera, but I'm not attached to the name (it's stupid anyways), so if someone has a better one, please tell me because damn. It's linked because the generator I used spits out huge images.
So far as my notes on it exist, it has a grand total of two cities: Alderra (red circle), which is the capitol of the human kingdoms, and Ralner (green circle), a smaller village within a days casual walk of Alderra. There's also a massive mountain range that pretty much cuts the continent in half (purple circle). There are dragons in the mountains, with the land on either side being unexplored by people from the other since, you know, dragons. The eastern side is mostly populated by less "civilized" beings called drakebloods, which are effectively what you get when some idiot (aka me) gets drunk and asks themselves "what would happen if I magically crossbred and elf and a dragon?" The answer is angry elf people with scales who breathe fire. Everyone involved agreed that this was an absolutely horrible decision, no matter how badass elves breathing fire might be, but they kept doing it anyways (this is how orcs happened too, except the what if races were giants and humans), and eventually drakebloods and orcs ended up their own thing capable of reproducing without magical help. They pretty much killed everyone else that didn't book it after a while.
All of that can be built on and modified as seen fit by the community, this is just me attempting to get the content discussion started since fuck knows I have no opinion on anything else. Thoughts?
