Vortexes07's Clan

* The Clan of Umbra Vortexes wasn’t always a popular merchant and familiar training clan as it currently is. The two founders of the clans were just two Wind dragons that happened to stumble upon each other in the Cloudsong fields where the clan first residence. These two founders were two Guardians, Artheron and Fie. Artheron had no memory of anyone entering her life before Fie, instead she had been consumed with the typical Guardian feel for a Charge and roamed around the Windswept Plateau until she found her Charge which was later discovered to be creating a legacy. Likewise, Fie had no memory of encounters with any other dragons and it wasn’t until he met Artherton that he understood what his purpose was.*
The two dragons immediately had a spiritual and emotional connection with each other and decided that their sole purpose was to start a clan in the heart of the Cloundsong fields. After raising a nest of hatchlings to adulthood together the two sought to expand their clan evenmore. Before, the small family clan had lived together in the fields, avoiding contact with other dragons as they didn’t have much experience socializing, however, their children managed to better understand the natural Wind dragon instincts of being welcoming and friendly with other dragons and expanding their social circle and clan.
Soon, Artheron and Fie with their children crept out of their hidden away den in the Cloudsong fields and ventured out more into the open. After establishing a new home the clan began to establish a small reputation of being a clan where traveling dragons or dragons who had been kicked out of their clans could rest and build a new life. However, with new dragons beginning to come into the clan Artheron and Fie began to take other mates and thus, the clan began to grow even more.
One of these dragons to come out of Atherton and another dragon was Elendal, who later began to boost the clan’s reputation as a crafty dragon who excels at matches familiars to dragons and training familiars to become accumulated to dragons. Soon the clan had established itself as a reputable merchant clan with the help from a Wildclaw named Meszez and a new leader took over for Artherton and Fie, a Skydancer named Steladar. Feeling that they had completed their mission of creating a successful clan the two dragons left to serve the Windsinger, leaving behind a legacy they were proud of.
Besides from Meszez’s large and successful merchant station, the clan also boasts having a reputable familiar rehabilitation into becoming a dragons companion due to Elendal. There are several merchant dragons within the clan that help contribute to Meszez’s shop by traveling into other flight’s territories and dealing with the initial trading process of the merchant business. While Wind Flight dragons are known to be friendly and welcoming to others the clan also has a strong military force in case of an outside threat. The commander of the military is a Guardian named Donovan who the council still isn’t sure where his loyalties lie. However, he has done nothing to prove the council that he has an ill manners towards his adopted clan.
After the Shade devastated the clan, leadership was in turmoil as no dragon was fit to take over as Steledar had lost much of her rationality and reasoning. This was when a band of dragons led by Vlatka discovered the clan and seeing the despair amongst the dragons Vlatka established herself as the leader with her own dragons to back her up. Unknown to the vast majority of the clan Verity with Donovan’s blessing was aspiring to take over to clan and take them into Plague territory. But with Vlatka’s sudden arrival their plans were stopped and Verity along with her crew went back into thievery and assassinating. Vlatka being as clever and cunning as Verity and Donovan knew there was something amiss with how dragons were available to find so many valuable treasures without ever losing any money.
The clan went on with Meszez’s trade store booming as more and more dragons were drawn into the clan through the promises of treasure and wealth. While many dragons were interested in achieving riches through crooked acts many were just interested in becoming merchants or simply looking for a new clan to join. With the arrival of Lexa as another guardian with a charge of being a commander brought along several dragons loyal to her and her beliefs. This led to the the increasing divide of dragons who supported Donovan and his acceptance of violent means of obtaining wealth and Lexa who sought to have a right and just means of achieving wealth. Eventually the acts of Nimue and Verity’s crews brought forth vast destruction to the clan….
Dragons whose clans had been robbed or had members killed by Verity’s dragons joined together and attacked the Clan of Whispering Vortexes. The clan was completely unprepared and many dragons perished due to the no warning. Despite Vlatka trying to reason with the attacking clans they did not relent in their attack until the clan was devastated. Eventually after the attack was finished and the clan spread in directions several dragons managed to meet and with Donovan’s persuasion convinced the clan to go into Plague territory to avoid a higher risk of being followed and attacked. So began the clan’s journey into Plague…
Since the attack of the Clan the suspicions of Lexa and Vlatka has only increased but they still do not have the evidence to chase Donovan and his followers out of the clan. This distrust has also created the clan to have two factions, those who support Donovan and those who support Lexa and Vlatka. To further increase rising tensions in the clan, the two founders of the, Artheron and Fie have returned, saying that the Windsinger sent them back as there is unfinished business to be had. However, due to being in Plague, Ironhawk’s power as a blood mage continues to grow and Donovan’s chance of a coup steadily increases. Only time will tell if the clan breaks into a civil war…..
