Welcome to the Highland Refuge! A clan once abandoned and turned to nothing but memories of its former glory, it has been brought back to life through the dedication of its new leadership and specialists. A clan reborn from chaos, that thrives on the harmony they have made.

Welcome to Refuge.

[Not all offspring are "canon" in my lore! Often times if dragons are exalted, they never existed, with very few exceptions.]

LORE
Far in the moors of the Sunbeam Ruins lies the Highland Refuge. Made of rebuilt remnants of whatever came before, the Refuge’s lands are full of color and light, often with familiars darting around carrying messages between each faction. The main city itself bustles with life, and rarely is it quiet.

Just outside the city's perimiter there are fields swaying in the breeze before they give way to the much rougher moors. There are several splinter factions that remain tied to the Refuge, through blood ties or purposeful allyship, and live at the edges of the Refuge's lands.

The city grows as it's traders spread word of a once-ruined city being rebuilt. Many bring their talents to help rebuild, or just see how it's going. Older dragons might remember what once was, but it's clear: what remains now is stronger than any past Refuge.

HIGHLAND REFUGE
Led by the five imperial Matriarchs, the clan is characterized mainly by it’s diversity. The main Refuge itself works together like clockwork, with very little argument. The clan itself is split up into Artisans, Mystics, Warriors, Scholars, and Merchants. It also has a council of the founding members, and they work with the matriarchs to ensure the safety of the clan.

RIFTRUIN COURT
Led by Athana, the heiress of Plague, the court is made up of... shiftier types. They use their abilities to sow unrest among other clans, and maintain underworld connections. Born of those tired of their parent's ways, seeking to grow their own power. They lodge high in a cliff cave above the Hewn City, where they can do their "diplomacy" in peace.

SMALLER FACTIONS

TWILIGHT HAVEN
Ata and Alma, the Prophets of Twilight, have set up a religious retreat in the mountains that border the main Refuge. They preach that one day, they will bear a child that will be a minor deity that will not go quiet for stretches like the great deities do, a goddess that will straddle the line between mortal and divine. Their beliefs are strange to many, but nonetheless, believers flock to them.

CITADEL OF THE ANCIENTS
In the narrow catacombs and caverns below the Citadel of Refuge, lies the Blackstone Bastille. It is hewn from blackened stone, hence the name, and reinforced to contain shade entities- should they ever find any. They patrol the lands of the Refuge and maintain their keep, while training apprentices. Their blackened home stands out on the moor, a reminder of vigilance. It is led by Cynfal and Layem.

After learning what precious scant history they could about their breed's past, Yatuga and Khuur decided they would never go to war again. They established an small workshop within the Citadel under the protection of the Gaolers, that specializes in the crafting of instruments.
