Clan Info

~ ༆ ~ ༒ ~ ༆ ~
Welcome to the Tree of Dawn

The Beacon of the Radiant Eye is the last landmark that dragons see as they fly into the horizon from the shores of Light's homeland. Over the yonder lies the unknown, but those who fly true will find themselves sighting a mist-shrouded island a day's flight from the Sunbeam Ruins, an island upon which a giant tree has been growing for millennia to this day.

At this tree dwells a scholarly order of skydancers from across the world who have banded together to rise each day into the sunlit sky to perform noble deeds. They spoke no words but true ones, and their purpose was to mend the broken, to make strong the weak, and to vanquish the evil.

All those journeying across the ocean to the far reaches, to their callings, or towards the Windswept Plateau on the way to their places of destination throughout the world, are welcome to rest their wings a while in the hospitality of the Tree. Those who elect to may stay and observe, to receive learning and training in the arts practised here. Fledging Skydancers, whether orphans, travellers, or born at the Tree, may choose, once they are ready, to undergo the Trials to earn their place here at the Tree, whatever their calling may be.

Clan Meta

This is a SKYDANCER lair, and most of them don't really like wearing too much apparel - preferring maximum freedom when flying. Their feathers are all they need.

We hoard construction materials (for expansion) and festival items (for commerce).

Lore is in the process of being added. Woefully little time to do so.

Page 1 and 2 are alright. Page 3 onwards is messed up temporarily.

We have too many familiars (45 pages). Send help.

Long ago and by and by,
dragons ruled the earth and sky

They scaled the mountains, climbed the trees,
slept in castles, swam in seas

and flew, they FLEW the turquoise skies
with gilded wings and amber eyes

some with feathers, some with scales,
some with furry heads and tails.

Gentle dragons, young and old,
hoarding gemstones, guarding gold

gathering in dragon crowds,
breathing fire, making clouds.

The fiery games that dragons played
made men and women quite afraid

But children always understood
that dragons in their hearts, were good

They loved to join the dragon fun,
dancing, prancing in the sun,

roaring, singing, telling tales,
soaring over hills and dales.

Then one starry autumn night,
the dragons woke up in a fright

Their leader's voice boomed overhead
"Now's the time" was all it said.

Little dragons, big ones too,
every one knew what to do.

Those on mountains, those in trees,
those in castles, those in seas,

all let out a dragon sigh,
all took wing and filled the sky.

Children heard a thunderous sound
as dragon wings beat all around.

From every home across the land,
children scurried hand in hand

and watched those dragons flying by,
watched and sadly wondered why.

Sparks, like lightning, lit the way
Dragons slowly flew away

over mountains, over trees,
over castles, over seas

then, at the edge of earth and sky,
dragons called a sad good-bye.

That's the last 'twas ever heard
of dragons, not another word.

Where did all the dragons go?
The smartest scholars still don't know.

But next time there's a thunderstorm,
watch the smoky gray clouds form,

watch the lightning flash its light,
hear the thunder in the night.

It might be so we don't forget
that dragons could be living yet

waiting in a world nearby
just beyond the earth and sky.
