We know that Farum Azula was the former capital during the reign of the Dragonlord Placidusax. Thus the city was a city of dragons. I believe these dragons were left behind when Farum Azula relocated to it's current position.

Farum, a Latin word, is derived from the Greek Φάρος, Pharos, which was the name of the Lighthouse of Alexandria.
