does this also mean that only the first place flight will have the 10% reduction, or will all three top flights have that placed on them?

After thinking this whole development over a few times, I'm definitely intrigued.

Dragons seem set up as the villains in this situation: so is this going to be an ongoing plot where the roles get reversed, or are flying lizards just jerks more often than not? Is it more a situation of our species coming first, regardless of whether the others are sentient or not? Is there something deeper behind it than the mandates of the deities for more territory and worship?

Curiosity officially piqued.

with the new lair expansions, do our lairs get granted different titles?

like how we have ancient, mighty, lesser etc. is there a name for the levels above ancient?

@Hestmord As Wind Flight I can say i am very excited! We may be gentle travelers for the most part but one should never doubt the ferocity of a gale! Also if you scroll over my icon you can see how excited i am~

I can also say that some of us are just as hyped while others are not as hyped. Some didn't like being thrusted into the role of "jerk species over seer" and feel as though their own clans are of the gentler sort sans the few that they do use in the coliseum. Some also thought that having a familiar was more of a friendly thing then this update happened and just like any gentle player from any clan; be it plague, ice, shadow, light, nature, water, some were a little miffed because the new lore makes it seem as though there's no role wiggle room.

Are people really upset/surprised that dragons are supposedly elitist leaders of a mass holocaust of other sentient species?

Because that seems like something a dragon would do.

HAVE YOU NOT HEARD OF DRAGONS BEFORE NOW?

Made famous for being horrific monsters of myth? Go cuddle your politically correct dragons elsewhere KILL EM ALL, I SAY!

*rides dergs into battle/massacres/pillaging*

Also. Is game. Not real. None of it.
Your dragons are what you want them to be :3

Also, keep in mind, YOUR dragons could have been born after the war or something... I dunno. Whatever. Just have fun.

*in monotonous voice* Bueller... Bueller...

p.s. It's okay to ping me. I literally don't care as long as I'm not being "used" for raffle points and that ilk. But yeah, for the most part, I'm not so "important" I can't spare the ~5 seconds it takes to check out a ping. lol.
