I'm Fishes and this is my lore compendium. I'm just gonna dump a bunch of ideas I have down here. And maybe some stories too, when I feel like it. As the title states; this is very much a work in progress. Please don't post yet! Here's a few notes for my lore as of now: I generally stick with site canon! This includes all the changes to beastclan lore. This applies to dragon sizes too, but there are exceptions. All of the old pinkerlocke challenges I had done before are [b]not[/b] considered canon anymore. They are linked here for historical purposes.[/left] [center][img]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/lh460zuyxcuwcuq/watermid.png[/img][/center] [hidden title="FAQ"] [b]Is this thread dead?[/b] Nope, only sleeping. This project probably will never end, but I'm sort of in lore hibernation until I get some big ideas for the thread. Don't worry, I'm still sprucing up my dragon bios in the meantime. [b]Are you open to lore connections?[/b] Yes! I haven't thought that far ahead, but I'd be open to it. [b]What are some of your lore inspirations?[/b] WIP give me Time to write those down [/hidden] [center][hidden title="Resources"] [hidden title="Visuals"][url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/cc/2889155]Coffee's Misc Sidebars & Banners[/url] [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/gde/2669851/1]Vertigris' Item-Width Banners[/url] [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/gde/3269012#post_3269012]Ezevic's Expanded Item-Width Banners[/url] [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/2177898]Osiem's Free To Use Banners + Icons Hub[/url] [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/cc/2519702/1#post_2519702]Limanya's Round Icons[/url] [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/cc/2257922#post_2257922]Poisonedpaper's Art Assets - graphics, dividers, and more![/url] [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/cc/3316077/1#post_3316077]Bluedragon's Art Resources[/url] [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/cc/1985777]Serpy + Natron's Item-Size Bio Buttons[/url] [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/cc/2237425#post_2237425]Disillusionist's Bio Hoard[/url] [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/cc/3291642#post_3291642]Santal's FR Asset Recolors[/url] [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/cc/3228988#post_3228988]Iolosef's Isolated FR Items[/url] [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/cc/3249496#post_3249496]Yasha's Bio Resourses[/url] [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/cc/2590236#post_2590236]DogiCrimson's F2U Pixel Sprites[/url] [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/cc/3078623/1#post_3078623]Fluffmoth + Co Tiny Identity Buttons[/url] [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/cc/2021835/1]Mibella's Vista Headers[/url] [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/cc/3197745#post_3197745]MrRadio's Ripped Vista Assets[/url][/hidden] [hidden title="Writing"][url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/gde/2815153#post_42105429]Comprehensive List of Lore Resources[/url] [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/gde/1469922#post_1469922]Demesne's Guide to Lore Clans[/url] [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/gde/2813080]Canon Site Lore Compendium[/url] [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/gde/1372481/1#post_1372481]Dragon Titles and Classes List[/url] [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/cc/2982477#post_46712486]Dragon Titles and Classes List 2[/url] [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/frd/2479648/1#post_2479648]40 World Building Questions[/url] [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/frd/2479179]40 Character Building Questions[/url][/hidden] [hidden title="Other"][url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/gde/2815153]Giant Masterlist Of Resources[/url] [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/gde/2298279#post_2298279]Sugarcube's Creative Writing Compendium[/url] [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/gde/3041103#post_3041103]BBCode Fonts Guide[/url] [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/cc/3373068][img]https://i.imgur.com/1qUUee8.png[/img][/url][/hidden] [hidden title="Personal"][b]Supplimental threads[/b] [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/cc/3400063#post_3400063]Archives of The Sunken Library[/url] [b]Non-canon (old lore)[/b] [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/qnc/3123752/1]Biolocke[/url] [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/qnc/3235316/1#post_3235316]Lucklocke[/url][/hidden] [/hidden] [img]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/q7bzkdkcca4yban/waterbottom.png[/img][/center]

[center][size=6][font=century gothic][emoji=crystal ball size=1] Characters [emoji=crystal ball size=2][/size][/font][/center] Life's a beach at Harbor Haven, the sunny ports where a variety of dragons live.

As the name implies, this is a resting place for all kinds of dragons. Known for its simple, quiet lifestyle and the local artisans and shopkeepers, this town is where most of the action is. In legend, this town has been a stopping point for sailors and a safe place to hide from storms. A few of Harbor Haven's businesses include the tea and souviner shop [i]Simple Gifts[/i], a restaurant, a hotel, and the seasonal markets.[/columns] [columns][img]https://i.imgur.com/YeSc06v.png[/img][nextcol][size=5][b]Tortoise Hill[/b][/size] [url=https://youtu.be/EVUTzSJvXx0][emoji=music notes size=1] - Jade Fields (Petz Dogz 2)[/url] Tortoise Hill is a brackish area leading into the mangrove forests.

Crowe is a traveller at heart and doesn't stay in port for too long if she can help it. But when she needs rest, she always finds it at her favorite spots in Harbor Haven.[/columns] [columns][img]https://i.imgur.com/BvpMnx7.png[/img][nextcol][size=5][b]Underseas[/b][/size] [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ovg2IV5sDo][emoji=music notes size=1] - Miracle Sea (PMD: Explorers of Sky)[/url] Dragons within the Water flight will spend a good amout of their time underwater as well as above it.

The Library is mostly kept underwater due to the nature of said prophecies. Other things kept here are often messages in bottles or magical sound recordings kept within shells. He keeps security as an utmost tenet; and some prophecies are so deeply hidden that only Dumorne knows how to access them.[/columns] [center][img]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/lh460zuyxcuwcuq/watermid.png[/img][/center] [center][size=6][font=century gothic][emoji=crystal ball size=1] Places of Note [emoji=crystal ball size=2][/size][/font] [size=5][font=optima][b]Harbor Haven[/b][/font][/size] Places to visit within the main town.[/center] [center]The Ports The Markets - Hotel - Owen's restaurant - Simple Gifts Note to self: write more about these [/center] [center][img]https://flightrising.com/images/wiki/undertidelinebreak.png[/img][/center] [center][size=5][font=optima][b]Underwater[/b][/font][/size] For dragons who swim, the sea offers its plenty.[/center] [center][size=4][b]The Sunken Library[/b][/size] Home to Water flight history, prophecies, and all kinds of other knowledge.

(Potentially 'ancient' and 'modern' could be signified as genus types; but I am not very well versed in taxonomy.) Each dragon breed would then be their own species. (i.e. Draconiformes spiral) [emoji=spiral tongue size=1] Dragons may arguably have the greatest influence on an environment. Although the land has been shaped and formed by the elements of the ancient dragon gods; the children of these gods also have a major part in creating the modern world. Constructions such as the Spire are clear evidence of the power of united dragon society and what they can create. These influences do affect the natural world around dragons; but in a lot of cases these changes are too new for their environmental effects to really be seen upon Sornieth as a whole. In Harbor Haven, dragons of all species coexist. Ancients generally live within the Sunken Library, where they work with Dumorne to preserve forgotten knowledge that only said Ancients know. This is not a rule, however: plenty of Moderns will come to share their ideas with Dumorne as well; and likewise Ancients are always welcome within the main town of Harbor Haven. For example, Salvage was one of the first Aberrations to come into Harbor Haven, and they still live there today. [center][b][size=4]Dragon Biology Headcanons[/size][/b][/center] [columns] [item=anticipate] [item=guard] [item=silverglow meditate] [item=cloudy feathered wings][color=transparent]__[/color][nextcol] I generally ignore breed food restrictions as labelled in the Encyclopedia. Dragon sizes are generally canon, but I may have some exceptions. [b]Mirror Dragons[/b] are matriarchal, like hyenas. Mirrors have a natural body language that is easily understood by other Mirrors, but can come across as confusing to other breeds such as Fae. Mirrors, Bogsneaks, Guardians, and Wildclaws can chew through bone. Mirrors in particular rely on this to survive, and can digest the marrow. [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/frd/2992881/1#post_2992881][b]Ridgeback Dragons[/b][/url] are known for their sexual dimorphism. Males in particular have long, robust snouts; which are used to spear fish safely, detect temperature of egg nests, and for territorial/social dynamic jousting. [b]Snapper Dragons[/b] use their sharp nails and mouths to break open shellfish, which they can eat heaping amounts of. It's not uncommon for other creatures such as seagulls or otters to travel alongside Snappers who are piscovores. Also Snappers can fly. [emoji=snapper tongue size=1] [/columns] ----- [size=5][b]Beastclans[/b][/size] [emoji=beastclan rune size=1] Beastclan species have lived on Sornieth for a long time; some say even longer than dragons. Their civilizations have contested that of dragons for land, resources, and other valuables. Dragons generally have done their best to avoid all out warfare; but sometimes combat still occurs. More recently, younger generations of dragons have taken it upon themselves to mend the rift between dragons and beastclans. Although this will take a long time; the effects have already been made clear and many Beastclans are willing to take a more peaceful approach when dealing with dragons. The dragons of Harbor Haven have Beastclan allies of many kinds. Here are a few of the more common Beastclans you will see in Harbor Haven: [LIST] [*] Maren [*] Miths [*] Centaurs [*] Harpies & Talonok [*] Kitsune [/LIST] [columns][item=maren seahunter][nextcol][size=4][b]Maren[/b][/size] Maren of the Sea of a Thousand Currents have maintained a good relationship with Undertide dragons, who have lived among Maren for ages. This relationship has evolved to meet the modern dragon society as well. Maren translate, trade, and fish alongside dragonkind, just as their ancestors have done.[/columns] [columns][item=regal silkmith][nextcol][size=4][b]Miths[/b][/size] Miths are naturally curious and tend to avoid fighting. Their inginuity and openness has led to a good relationship with dragonkind. The miths of Harbor Haven work as spellcasters, engineers, lorekeepers, and foragers.[/columns] [columns][item=dunhoof ambassador][nextcol][size=4][b]Centuars[/b][/size] Centuars, like Maren, have often allied with dragonkind for countless years. In Harbor Haven, the centaurs often roam the streets to trade, study, or practice the arts.[/columns] Further notes on Beastclans can be found [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/cc/3165773#post_3165773]here.[/url] [size=2](Not my resource; but I love this thread!)[/size] [center][img]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/lh460zuyxcuwcuq/watermid.png[/img][/center] [center][size=6][font=century gothic][emoji=crystal ball size=1] Environment [emoji=crystal ball size=2][/size][/font][/center] The Sea of a Thousand Currents is mostly saltwater, but has some brackish portions. Due to this, early draconic explorers mistakenly labelled the Sea as 'freshwater', when it really is salty. Only those who really live within the Sea know this to be false; and the lie is still being dispelled to this day. Regardless; the Sea is home to quite a lot of different animals and plants that are nowhere else on Sornieth. In particular, the estuaries provide safe nesting grounds for species that cannot breed without them, such as Mammertee.

[center] [size=6][font=century gothic][emoji=left wing size=2] Culture of Harbor Haven [emoji=right wing size=2][/size][/font] [img]https://flightrising.com/images/wiki/undertidelinebreak.png[/img][/center] [columns][item=overflowing fishbasket] [item=vegetable oil] [item=sour kelp][nextcol][size=4][b]Cuisine[/b][/size] The food scene of Harbor Haven is varied. As a port town, the residents have a great access to ingredients that they might not be able to acquire otherwise through trade or purchase. With this in mind, chefs are adventurous and residents are willing to try new foods quite often. Foods native to Harbor Haven are often in the seafood category. Fish sandwiches with water lettuce are common among the working class; an easy to make meal with many kinds of toppings. Shellfish like olympia oysters or shrimp are delicacies, often saved for celebrations such as Wavecrest. Tropical fruits such as coconuts, watermelons, plantains, and bananas are common fruits around the ports. Citruses like oranges, limes, or lemons are often required to trade for; as they are filled with nutrients that cannot easily be found at sea. Sour kelp is used as a replacement for these; as it can easily ward off scale scurvy. It's very popular among Fathom pods. Other than kelp, dragons harvest seaweed and seagrasses to accent their meals. And of course, salt is king in the ports: any and all meals can be heightened with a pinch of the stuff.[/columns] ------ [columns][item=broken pottery jar] [item=tarnished doubloon] [item=giant sand dollar][nextcol][size=4][b]Currency[/b][/size] [b]Treasure and Gems[/b] are the main currency that is shared among all Flights. The value of these is about the same in every flight. Dragons buy food, resources, magic items, and other valuables within common marketplaces, through the travelling Trading Post, or within the Grand Exchange. [b]Tarnished Doubloons[/b] were the main form of currency within the Sea of a Thousand Currents before Treasure and Gems were made universal for all flights. As such, doubloons are valued currency within Harbor Haven; particuarly when the Pirate Festival is active. Oftentimes, pirates would craft their own doubloons and imprint them with special marks to signify who owned them first. Doubloons with rare imprints are often collectors items due to their short supply, and museums all across the Sea are eager to display their rarest doubloons. One of the most valuable currencies within the Sea is the [b]Giant Sand Dollar.[/b] These have lots of stories told about how they came to be. Some say they were formed in a holy tidepool under the light of the moon, others say that Tidelord himself granted these to his children as a blessing. Regardless, these sand dollars are often priceless to Water clans. They collect and trade these during the Wavecrest Saturnalia celebration; a tradition as old as time.[/columns] ----- [columns][item=Tidelord Seashell Decoration] [item=larimar tidelord] [item=water runestone][nextcol][size=4][b]Religion[/b][/size] All of the elemental deities are worshipped in Harbor Haven, but [b]Tidelord[/b] is the most prominent. The Tidelord represents fluidity, curiosity, adaptability, and knowledge. The Water flight values all of these tenets; especially the aspect of change and learning from it. The Water flight's religious ceremonies often have prophets or seers to speak from their deep pools of knowledge. The Tidelord's disappearance has made worship harder for many. New prophecies are few and far between because of this. The Tidelord's deep knowledge, which once was shared more openly, is now deeply coveted and protected. This is why Dumorne cares so much about his library. He hopes it will be a place for all Flights to be able to find knowledge from the many books, tomes, and prophecies from the Water flight. In recent times, those who ventured during the Unfathomable Odyssey were able to uncover a very important prophecy straight from the Tidelord. Although incomplete, this is Dumorne's new focus of research. The looming mystery surrounding it could easily be a great threat for all dragonkind.[/columns] ----- [columns][item=enamor] [item=ambiguous document][nextcol][size=4][b]Language[/b][/size] [b]Common Draconic[/b] is the most widespread language across Sornieth's dragon population. All dragon species can speak it, but each Flight has their own kinds of accents and distinguishing features. [b]Ancient Draconic[/b] may also be heard, however it is used mostly among Ancient species. Although most breeds do not have their own specific language, Coatl are known for their humming language. Beastclans also use Common Draconic, but they also have their own traditional languages. Notably, Maren of Water territories often learn the [b]Wavesong[/b], a language spoken solely underwater. The way that one's voice is carried in water is key to understanding the language. Undertides may also speak it; mostly those who were raised or taught by Maren speakers. [/columns] ----- [center][size=5][font=century]The Passage of Time[/font][/size][/center] The Site Anniversary in June is a festival that celebrates the dawn of a new year. Dragons take the week before this to prepare and clean up before the event. Months are categorized as follows: [LIST] [*][emoji=light rune size=1] Month of the Crab/Rabbit (June) [*][emoji=lightning rune size=1] Month of the Lion/Mantis (July) [*][emoji=fire rune size=1] Month of the Serpent/Firebird (August) [*][emoji=arcane rune size=1] Month of the Wolf/Squid (September) [*][emoji=plague rune size=1] Month of the Scorpion/Rat (October) [*][emoji=earth rune size=1] Month of the Horse/Goat (November) [*][emoji=wing size=1] Month of the Bat/Bear (December) [*][emoji=ice rune size=1] Month of the Seal/Owl (January) [*][emoji=shadow rune size=1] Month of the Fish/Flying Fox (Febuary) [*][emoji=wind rune size=1] Month of the Ram/Eel (March) [*][emoji=water rune size=1] Month of the Bull/Sea Turtle (April) [*][emoji=nature rune size=1] Month of the Hummingbird/Deer (May) [/LIST] Months can also be categorized by the reigning deity of the Flight who celebrates a festival during that month. (i.e. Month of the Flamecaller). All site holidays within the year are celebrated. Ancients generally refer to months based on the Spirit familiar set; but Moderns use both the zodiacs or the Spirits. For Ancients, the month of December was known as the Month of the Polar Bear. [columns][item=crumbling relief] [item=earthshaker stone statue][nextcol][size=4][b]Holidays[/b][/size] Sornieth's elemental holidays are all celebrated in Harbor Haven. The elemental representative of each Flight takes center stage, gathering volunteers to assist in maintaining the events of the celebrations. Newer traditions such as the Warrior's Way competition may require citizens to travel if they decide to participate. Common activities in any celebration include feasts, song and dance, and travel.

[center][size=6][font=century gothic][emoji=crystal ball size=1] Headcanons [emoji=crystal ball size=2][/size][/font] ------- [size=5][font=century]On the Naming of Dragons[/size][/font][/center] Dragons of this clan come upon their names in many different ways. Generally, dragons are named based on their elemental alignment, personality, or their biological colors. Some dragons are already named when they come into the clan. Some dragons believe they must earn their names, and will wait for ages until they find the right one for them. Outside of these, there are a few naming schemes that apply, mainly for Ancient dragons. [columns][emoji=aberration laughing size=2][color=transparent]_[/color][nextcol] [b]Aberration Dragons[/b] technically have three names. Each head is its own person, so they usually have separate names. As a whole body, both heads must agree on a third, unifying name. [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/76207164]Salvage[/url] is a good example of this. One head is Salve, the other is Savage. They refer to themselves as Salvage collectively.[/columns] [columns][emoji=aether laughing size=2][color=transparent]_[/color][nextcol] [b]Aether Dragons[/b] have quirky, charismatic names with many different origins. Many Aethers have chosen names based on words that have great meaning to them, or based on the sound or spelling. While perusing dictionaries and other documents (oftentimes while eating said documents) is often how they gain inspiration. An Aether individual may have impulsively decided on one name, and then a few days later, decide on a new one. Like Veilspun, these names have no bearing or indication on the individual's gender, or their gender expression. [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/84897552]Zeitgiest[/url] is an example of these conventions.[/columns] [columns][emoji=auraboa laughing size=2][color=transparent]_[/color][nextcol][b]Auraboa Dragons[/b] have two names. Their first name is the one that they use in the physical world. Most Auraboas in the modern world will come up with this themselves. Usually they are based off of nature, fruit, plants, or other influences. An Auraboa's second name is the one they use in the Loop. A Loop name is very important and is not simply chosen, but revealed with time. For an Auraboa, sharing their Loop name in the physical world is a sign of extreme trust.[/columns] [columns][emoji=banescale laughing size=2][color=transparent]_[/color][nextcol][b]Banescale Dragons[/b] have names that come from music terminology. Due to the musical history and culture of their ancestors, Banescales of this clan have names associated with written music or song. [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/57349240]Forte[/url] and [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/57348998]Legato[/url] are good examples.[/columns] [columns][emoji=cirrus laughing size=2][color=transparent]_[/color][nextcol][b]Cirrus Dragons[/b] name their children after the virtues they hope to instill within them. In Cirrus culture, it is not uncommon for dragons to have long names, because it reflects the kind of person they want to become. Cirrus have unique body language to refer to themselves or their family, which makes it easier to refer to another.[/columns] [columns][emoji=dusthide laughing size=2][color=transparent]_[/color][nextcol][b]Dusthide Dragons[/b] often pick ancestral names, or names that they enjoy the sound of when spoken. As Dusthides are very loyal and family driven, their family names are often carried through generations, which can lead to very long name sequences. This also means that there are plenty of 'Jr's to go around.[/columns] [columns][emoji=everlux laughing size=2][color=transparent]_[/color][nextcol][b]Everlux Dragons[/b] have temporary names as children. Once they reach their first 'chapter' in life, their adult name is chosen. Everlux tend to choose names that sound fancy. They also choose names based on words they like, or their favorite fictional characters. As an Everlux grows, they may decide on a different name in a later 'chapter'; and they take great pride in this. To find one's true name is their highest form of self-discovery.[/columns] [columns][emoji=gaoler laughing size=2][color=transparent]_[/color][nextcol][b]Gaoler Dragons[/b] often have familial names, but most Gaolers prefer to keep the titles they have earned themselves. Gaolers usually have sharp sounding names, not caring to cater for 'aesthetics' or 'pleasure'.[/columns] [columns][emoji=sandsurge laughing size=2][color=transparent]_[/color][nextcol][b]Sandsurge Dragons[/b] generally have short names. When in a fast-paced workplace, they prefer not to have to spend too much time on words, and don't question the names given to them by their parents.[/columns] [columns][emoji=thorntail laughing size=2][color=transparent]_[/color][nextcol][b]Thorntail Dragons[/b] name their children after things they treasure. They often borrow from stories, words, or anything at all that is valuable to them. In their own specific language, Thorntail families have specific chirps and whistles to distingush each of their family members.[/columns] [columns][emoji=undertide laughing size=2][color=transparent]_[/color][nextcol][b]Undertide Dragons[/b] have names that refer to an oceanic aesthetic. Be it mythology, natural structures such as blue holes, or life forms like coral and fish, this is what usually inspires Undertide naming. Undertide also borrow names from Deepsea Maren on occasion, most commonly if one has been adopted into a Maren family.[/columns] [columns][emoji=veilspun laughing size=2][color=transparent]_[/color][nextcol][b]Veilspun Dragons[/b] have elegant or magical names, as reference to their origin and abilities by magic and trickery. Veilspun may also have names related to insects or arachnids. Veilspun tend to prefer gender neutral names. This has no regard to their actual gender identity, which presents itself differently upon the individual. There are also tales of Veilspun stealing the names of dragons who wander too deep in the woods...[/columns] ----- [columns][item=fanciful casting] [item=rainbow starswirl] [item=unicorn dust][nextcol][size=4][b]Magic[/b][/size] All dragons are made of magic. While their physical bodies have strength of their own, the core of a dragon's might is through their magic. The draconic deities, each in their own forms, created the basis of all elemental magic across Sornieth. A dragon's elemental alignment, therefore, is reflected by the place where they hatched. The strength and magic inside the planet's leylines are key in determining this. The magic within the leylines seeps into dragon eggs, even from far away. Depending on their strength and elemental flavor, a hatchling can take on different elements and eye varieties. Generally, the visual eye type has no reflection on the dragon's resulting magical abilities, aside from their native element. A dragon's born Flight does not limit the kind of magic that they can cast. With the advancements of magical scrolls and other enchantments, dragons of any Flight can cast magic that isn't their birthright. It generally takes good training, time, or energy to do so; and therefore one must be devoted to their study. A good entry point is to use magical objects to familiarize oneself with a new kind of magic. There have been records of dragons born with too much magic, or too little magic. With all things, balance is key, especially in the arcane domain. If a dragon's magic reserves completely go out, they can die as a result. There are currently treatments that can help with these, but more research is needed so that all dragons can live their best lives without fear.[/columns] ------ [columns][img]https://i.imgur.com/MjGrvM9.png[/img] [img]https://i.imgur.com/gHMY4Gy.png[/img][nextcol][size=4][b]Threats to Magic[/b][/size] Magic is unpredictable. While most dragons are powerful enough to cast it without issue; it is wild magic that is the most dangerous to dragonkind. Dragons who go blindly into spellcasting, alchemy, or other dark arts without proper care or preperation can see the adverse effects of strange magic firsthand. Some dragons can see it as a blessing; but others must fight these adverse effects for their entire lives. It is a delicate dance to treat such ailments, but modern studies in magical application makes healing them a more approachable subject. Certain parasites, for example, feast on a dragon's inner magic reserves as well as their flesh. Other ailments could be genetic curses, passed from direct lineage. Perhaps the most dangerous of all is the force that nullifies magic itself: the Shade. While other things on Sornieth can snuff out magic; none but the Shade can do it as prominently or overwhelmingly. Although bits of Shade energy are left behind from the Deities' wars with it; it is typically not enough to cause a dragon's death. Do not take this to mean that Shade remnants are harmless: its effects on dragons and other life is still not fully understood. Those who have interacted with it directly often come back with knowledge of which they cannot speak.[/columns]

Although separated and cloistered, they still held a powerful connection to the monument that once shielded their world from darkness. To further guard these relics, the wyrms used their respective magics to create children in their image. Dragonkind was born... These denizens dedicated their lives to protecting their piece of the ruined column, and preserving the strength and significance of their element. Only time would tell whether this new order would maintain or destroy that which the gods had built." - [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/wiki/wiki/article/epilogue-flight-rising]Epilogue: Flight Rising[/url][/font] [center][img alt="a thin line with a nautilus shell icon in the center"]https://flightrising.com/images/wiki/undertidelinebreak.png[/img][/center] Long before the world was even a thought, there was music. The universe sang a song in the emptiness, alone to itself. A lullaby for the things to come. An anthem for the stillness of space. Soon, the stars became notes, the planets formed melodies, and the song gained a chorus. The gods of Sornieth could hear the song, and their creations added more to the melody that enveloped our planet. The crashing of war and conquest, the brilliance of creation. The magic at its core led to many different things, each beautiful and powerful in their own right. The elements had only just begun to claim their place in the universal song. The music soon was heard by the otherworldly Shade. In defiance, it reached its arms across Sornieth, seeking to drown out the song of our planet. Multiple times, the Shade sought to deafen the song. But the dragon gods consistently returned to fight it. Their magnum opus, the Pillar, was meant to sustain enough elemental magic to protect the planet from Shade entirely. In rage, the Shade's final destruction was to eradicate the Pillar, causing devistation to the alliances made by the elder dragon gods. But most Sornieth dragons already know this story. You have heard it many times, many ways, from different mouths, across generations. Perhaps you have not heard the story of what happened after the Pillar's fall, to the dragons who make a home in the Sea. The Tidelord's first charge was to create a being in his own image. His first children soon became the Undertide, who could breathe deep in the waters where he soon created a palace. The Spiral Keep was where they communed with him. They soon took up the same interests as their father. Future sight, prophecies, and Water magic were the pillars of the Undertide; hoping to see ways they could protect the vast oceans from Shade influence. Directly with the Tidelord's influence, the Undertide had all they needed. When the other Gods deigned to create new dragons, ones that were further removed from their Ancient first creations, the Tidelord stayed true to his kin. The Undertides soon became proud. As the only dragons yet made by the Tidelord, they believed they would be the only dragons created by him. The Tidelord, with his Sight, told them otherwise. But not all of them believed. Those spurned by the very idea of this swam deep into the Leviathan Trench, never to be seen by dragonkind again. But many still remained, their loyalty to their god unwavering. The Tidelord's words eventually became true. When the first Guardian dragons emerged, this was the final straw for the Undertides. A great schism occured among them. On one side, the prideful elders were outraged that the Tidelord would deign to replace them. On the other side, those who still felt loyalty to their god wanted to meet their new siblings. The fighting led to war, one that dragged the Undertides so deep that those who remained were forced to go deeper into the Leviathan Trench to either avoid the violence or simply out of shame. The Tidelord was wrought with horror that his children would so easily break these bonds he had made. The Guardians were left alone and confused about what had happened before them. The Undertides became legend and myth. The Tidelord was now forced to entrust his Sight to the Guardians as well, and soon they took up the mantles of being Seers. But Guardians too were given protective hearts, so that they would hopefully bear more compassion and love for their family. And soon, more variety of dragon breeds now could enter the Sea, as the number and diversity of dragon species grew. Among the Sea, things went well for Water dragons and their god. But eventually, a great storm swept through the area. In the worst hurricane any dragon had seen, the Tidelord vanished. And that is how it is still today, unfortunately. Water dragons all over were devistated by the loss. The prophets can no longer See as they used to, or Speak from his wisdom. The song that spread across our waters has now stilled. It is to the point that many Undertide have breached their prideful exile, and also the travelling Fathoms have chosen to return to the Sea. The Tidelord's magic will sustain as long as he is alive, but it is still very worrying for all Water lairs that our very own god is no longer bellowing his prophecies. We of the Water flight have had a long journey, a broken family. In my studies, I hope to gather as much information as possible so I can hopefully mend it. I don't think I can find Tidelord myself; but I can still provide a beacon of hope, and a respitory of knowledge. Our Water flight has been secretive, deep, and seemingly unknowable to many dragons. I hope to bridge that gap with my Library, for all dragons who wish to know, and to be a bearer of truth within my Flight. - Dumorne ------- [center][size=4][font=century gothic][emoji=left wing size=2] On Undertides [emoji=right wing size=2][/size][/font][/center] When the Undertides left the Sea, they took their ancient knowledge with them. When dragons of the modern variety started to appear, they were able to create things like tablets, scrolls, or artwork. You can't really do that in the middle of an ocean. There are some kinds of dyes that can be painted on water, yes; but these were saved for the elites of Undertide society who had space to paint on. It is why the Preservation Guild was so intrigued by the abyss. It is not just the fossils and life that has been sustained, but the records of Undertide from the past. Most of it is faded, now; due to salt and water and years gone by. So in practicality, most Undertide did not record their history this way. We instead told our stories through our voices. Our songs, the spoken word; this is the crux of all Undertide knowledge. With no one to Speak it, much less our god, much of this knowledge has been lost to time. If there are those who remember, I pray they might find us and share it. Sometimes I fear that there are things that aught not to be shared at all. But for what it's worth, I think there's more than enough that is worth recording. If we can piece together our broken history, we can once again weave the song that the Tidelord started for us, with a wide family as one united chorus. - Echturna
