"De Kaap" (Cape) | Dragon's Fire

 * Leadership Structure: The organisation has been crumbling following the death of Lars Hatgers, the third Grand Dragon. He is succeeded by a senior chief who has better plans than to keep the organisation alive. Dragon's Fire in its current form is barely what it is, with its dissolution becoming more likely every day.
 * Grand Dragon:
 * Mechiel Tangelder (b. 1480 - d. 1549, office 1502 - 1542)
 * Koen van der Wel (b. 1502 - d. 1570, office 1542 - 1559)
 * Lars Hatgers (b. 1515 - d. 1577, office 1558 - 1577)
 * David Hospes (b. 1540, office since 1577)
 * Senior Chiefs: Five figures
 * Government: A provisional government was established in place upon the settlement of Kaapstad as a provisional outpost and settlement initially. Leadership of the Dragon's Fire remains dominant and ever since the death of Hatgers as the third Grand Dragon in its organisation's history, it is shifting away from being led by an organisation to simply becoming a hybrid republic and colonial government (despite being unassociated with the Netherlands de facto and de jure). The Governor position is created by the new Grand Dragon, David Hospes on 1579, electing himself as the first Governor of Kaap.
 * Government Type: Provisional council
 * Governor: David Hospes (b. 1540s, office since 1579)
 * Membership: 260 members are 'full' members of this organisation. This does not include the 200 who are brought along, including many children and wives of members who are willing to depart from the Netherlands to a new place. Combined brings the current 'population' of De Kaap (Cape) as 500, though the population would struggle to survive the new climate. Also including from the privatisation compromise are those ships (they may be scrapped; but discussions around trade with other ports are considered as late as the late 1570s):
 * 4 transport ships
 * 1 caravel
 * Diplomacy: N/A
 * Operations: N/A
 * Events:
 * Survival of the Fittest: Things are getting tough as they begin their permanent settlement of their outpost and soon turned town called Kaapstad later in the future. Some have died from starvation or thirst over the years and children are being raised to conserve resources. Water is being sourced at the far reaches, where rivers and some lakes can be found and sourced back. It is a heavy task for all and crops are dependent on water. Population went down slightly.
 * New Leadership: With the death of Hatgers from long-term illness on 1577, the fourth Grand Dragon was selected. Under the new leadership, the government is shifting away from being dominated and ruled by an ex-secret organisation, simply because there is little need for it after the Dutch Revolt. The lack of discipline from other countries led to lawlessness in some aspects. This ended when the new Grand Dragon and current senior chiefs agreed to set upon a series of laws in place. As they are grappling the worst from slow deaths and starvations, there is discussion whether to send their transport ships as trading vessels to bring back food resources and other material. Indeed, the region that they're in (OTL Cape Town and surroundings) are relatively undermined by other Europeans. But they don't have any resources that would make them useful, just yet...
