Neshomeh's Clan

About Me

Call me Neshomeh. I'm an adult, married, gray-ace, cis woman (she/her). I've been into dragons since I read the Dragonriders of Pern novels as a young person. I'm also a cat person--and I'm not convinced there's much difference between dragons and cats.

My subspecies:

• The Custodians, golden protectors of the Sweet Dreams lineage by CalliopeVale.
• Surgeons & Chirurgeons, gods-blessed medics and healers of all specialties. Upon swearing an oath to their elemental deity, they are stripped of pigment and marked with red, the color of life-giving blood.

Clan Lore

"Nobody else was using it, so I took it."

That was clan founder Nephrite's answer when asked why she'd chosen the Pox Consulate region as her family's home.

The land surrounding the Plague embassy had been shunned and neglected since the last ambassador had vanished under mysterious circumstances following the breaking of the Nature-Plague armistice. Verdant growth had run rampant, overtaking the empty husk of the embassy and all its surroundings. It had been perfect for a young Mirror who'd wanted little more than to be left alone.

But things have changed since then.

Her grandson Ruha leads now, and under his guidance, Nephrite's loose family group has grown into a fully functioning clan. They have restored order to their territory, building proper homes and workshops, and the more worldly and diplomatic members (with Ruha foremost among them) have taken an interest in undoing the damage caused by the unfortunate First Seed incident.

Several clan members are also healers who believe their work doesn't stop at mending bodies. Rumor has it that Ruha's sister Hildegard, the Surgeon Galen, and Plague healer Cuthbert are planning to build a new College of Surgeons, where dragons of all flights will be welcome to come for treatment or to swear oaths as Surgeons themselves...
