A Brief Introduction

Rune Imbued, Enhanced, and Altered Pearlcatchers — colloquially known as Runecatchers — are a fairly new phenomenon. Scholars and scientists have worked in tandem, putting aside any philosophical differences in order to properly understand these peculiar creatures. Below are some of their most relevant and recent findings.

Specifications

The most consistent cases of Runecatchers have been subjects who match the following:
  • Primary Genes: Basic, Crystal, Iridescent, Metallic, Ripple, Skink, Starmap, Wasp
    Primary Gene: Crystal Primary Gene: Iridescent Primary Gene: Metallic Primary Gene: Ripple Primary Gene: Skink Primary Gene: Starmap Primary Gene: Wasp
  • Secondary Genes: Alloy, Basic, Bee, Butterfly, Current, Facet, Shimmer, Spinner, Trail
    Secondary Gene: Alloy Secondary Gene: Bee Secondary Gene: Butterfly Secondary Gene: Current Secondary Gene: Facet Secondary Gene: Shimmer Secondary Gene: Spinner Secondary Gene: Trail
  • Tertiary Gene: Runes
    Tertiary Gene: Runes

  • Primary Colors: Maize to Thistle
    14D7glc.png
  • Secondary Colors: Maize to Grape
    kJiNBK7.png
  • Tertiary Colors: Maize to Thistle
    14D7glc.png

There seems to be no specific Flight or Element these dragons are aligned with or originate from.

This phenomenon is limited to Pearlcatchers.
Breed Change: Pearlcatcher

The leading theory is that their pearl, the essence of their experience and personality, serves as a sort of conduit that directs and amplifies the powers of the runes — but we are far from certain regarding anything that concerns these creatures.

U8wSy0n.png

We have discovered multiple variants of the original Runecatchers whose powers are as varied as their colors. You can read more about the specifics in this post here.

Our current known variants are:
  • Suncatchers - often borrowing qualities and colors from the sun itself, these passionate, fiery dragons encompass a range of reds, golds, browns and yellows.
  • Mooncatchers - with a close tie to the moon, these dragons have a fairly limited range of colors, though not abilities. Subvariants currently being studied include Blood Moon, Harvest Moon, Blue Moon, and the newest Hunter Moon.
  • Storycatchers - these vivid characters have three variants: the dark purples and deep blues of the Sky, the light blues, greens and aquas of the Sea, and the deep greens and light yellows of the Earth.

[b][url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?p=lair&id=284903&tab=dragon&did=30708149]Erebus[/url][/b] walks through the darkness as if he's made of night itself. They are in this world, but not of it. Nighttime is their time, and their language is esoteric and mysterious, of tenebrous shadows and shafts of moonlight. There is a certain starkness to the night, a time when hope and regret hover close to the surface. Secrets are easier to share after dark, and hard truths are ready to confront. Do not trust it all, however — moonlight hides as much as it illuminates, and a moment of midnight melancholy can spiral so easily into darker, desolate places. Turn your attention to the skies instead — confide in the moon and stars. Trace the pattern of constellations spread endlessly above you. Even in utmost darkness, there is light — there are wishes, and hopes, and dreams. Confront the night without fear and gain an entirely new perspective of a once-familiar world.[/i][/center] [img]http://i.imgur.com/U8wSy0n.png[/img] [center][img]http://i.imgur.com/P7ydbiW.png[/img] [i]Visions. Things seen in a dream, behind closed eyes. Knowledge that arrives with little fanfare, its truth as undeniable as the mystery of its origins. Visionaries. Those who can see beyond the here and now, viewing those limitations only as suggestions. The ones who wield perspective and truth like the tools they are, tipping the world just slightly askew to shift our perceptions. [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?p=lair&id=284903&tab=dragon&did=30381500][b]Delphi[/b][/url], fabled prophetess on a first-name basis with Fate, and [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?p=lair&id=284903&tab=dragon&did=29473736][b]Hermes[/b][/url], messenger of gods both acknowledged and unknown, live in a world that resembles none other. Shaped by visions and occupied by visionaries, it is constantly shifting, changing, tilting — and so are its inhabitants.[/i][/center] [img]http://i.imgur.com/U8wSy0n.png[/img] [center][b]Sun's Glory [/b] [img]https://i.imgur.com/iSTm2s2.png[/img] [i][url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?p=lair&id=284903&tab=dragon&did=29565899][b]Rah[/b][/url], sun god both benevolent and merciless, and [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?p=lair&id=284903&tab=dragon&did=29318534][b]Zorya[/b][/url], keeper of the dawn and dusk, guardian of the gates that the sun passes through each morning and evening. This magical pair embodies the warmth of the sun, the promise of morning, and the mysteries of twilight. Runes are written upon their scales, indecipherable and ancient. Step into the light with this luminous pair and bask in their glow.[/i][/center] [img]http://i.imgur.com/U8wSy0n.png[/img] [center][img]http://i.imgur.com/97zxUqK.png[/img][/center] [center][i]An idea is the most powerful thing of all. A single thought can change the world. So many things influence them — opinions, experiences, expectations. Thoughts can grow, ideas can change, and suddenly all is transformed. Nothing is what it seems, for who can predict what new belief will shape us? What new perspective will cause us to doubt everything we were so certain of? Belief generates energy, and energy powers reality. [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?p=lair&id=284903&tab=dragon&did=30497843][b]Aether[/b][/url], a living battery, can strengthen the illusions [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?p=lair&id=284903&tab=dragon&did=30135929][b]Hecate[/b][/url] crafts so meticulously until we cannot distinguish them from reality — until they become reality. There are ways we can protect ourselves — knocks on wood, salt tossed over a shoulder, careful avoidance of cracks, ladders, and dark-colored felines. Our good luck charms will bring fortune, and the dreamcatchers hung where we sleep will catch any bad dreams before they can get to us. We believe it, and that makes it so. We believe, and it becomes the truth. Or does it?[/i][/center] [img]http://i.imgur.com/U8wSy0n.png[/img] [center][img]http://i.imgur.com/JXxnEEo.png[/img] [i]So much of our lives seems laid out for us. We inherit qualities and grudges alike from our parents; we step into roles that seem to fit even if their constraints itch. Is it really a choice if we have no other option? What if we could do anything, be anything? What if our constraints are self-imposed, our limits thought up by others and not reflecting on our own capabilities. What if we could start fresh, the world spread out before us in a sea of options? [b][url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?p=lair&tab=dragon&id=284903&did=32499341]Lorelei[/b][/url] sings a siren song of opportunity, of hope, of empowerment. Not all are ready to take their lives into their own hands, however, and the fragments of their wrecked ships are all what’s left of their attempts. Others are ready, open, willing to risk the discomfort of change and plunge headlong into the terrifying unknown. [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?p=lair&id=284903&tab=dragon&did=29648029][b]Gordian[/url][/b] is cursed - no, no. Gordian [b]was[/b] cursed, for that enchanted song showed him an entirely new way to be. A gold-touched descendant of Midas, he was unable to touch anything without it turning to metal - gold, silver, steel, iron, it didn’t matter; it was all statuary in the end. The sea has its own magic, however, its own rules and its own rhythm. When Gordian plunged into the waves in a bid to escape his fate, he changed it. The ocean has a mind of its own, and it heeds only the rules it makes. Thus Gordian’s curse was washed away, swept into the fathomless depths. What if we found ourselves on an entirely unexpected path? What if the burdens we’d resigned ourselves to were, too, washed away? What if we heard the mermaids singing, each to each, and in their words heard strength, heard wisdom, heard power? What if we did not find ourselves wrecked upon unyielding rock and instead swam free and true through waters we called our own? What if? [/i][/center] [img]http://i.imgur.com/U8wSy0n.png[/img] [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/sglUfrY.png[/img] [i]Secrets. Treasures. Riddles. Answers. Relics buried with the dead, holding magic long forgotten but no less potent for its obscurity. Someone must remember who and what came before. Secrets are heavy, but someone must keep them. [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?p=lair&id=284903&tab=dragon&did=32728136][b]Sphinx[/b][/url] guards knowledge and memory alike, offering wisdom wrapped in cryptic phrases to those that seek her. [b][url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?p=lair&tab=dragon&id=284903&did=31346571]Anubis[/b][/url] spends his time in tombs, where he has daily dealings with life and afterlife, death and rebirth, truths revealed and mysteries unraveled. He knows answers to age-old questions, but they are not his to share. Instead he devotes himself to recording, to remembering, to recounting, filling page after page with the deeds and hopes of those who have gone before. Nothing is truly dead if it is remembered; no one is truly gone. And so the pages fill the books, words indelibly printed, volume upon volume placed reverently upon a shelf that already holds so many tomes. Spirits pass through his chambers, lives ending and beginning with a tip of the scale. Souls are measured, counted, noted, and sent on to whatever comes next. With Anubis they leave remnants of themselves, artifacts of their lives. He hears their regrets and wishes, their secrets and fears, their triumphs and accomplishments, and forgets none of it. Secrets. Treasures. Riddles. Answers. Mystery shrouds them both, this pair that has withstood life and death, catastrophe and recovery, destruction and creation. They were there when the world began, and they will be there until the end — remembering. [/i][/center] [img]http://i.imgur.com/U8wSy0n.png[/img] [center][img]http://i.imgur.com/I537r7R.png[/img] [i]Fire burns. Fire purifies. Fire cleanses. No one knows this better than [b][url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?p=lair&id=284903&tab=dragon&did=30150564]Brighid[/b][/url], One Most Mighty and Fair, she who wields fire with the same confident ease as her other blacksmithing tools. Songs are sung about her creations, poetry written about what wonders she can bring into being with a thought, an effort of will, and a roaring forge. [b][url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?p=lair&id=284903&tab=dragon&did=30381066]Igneous[/b][/url] is such a creation, and his tale is a favourite among children. How, when Peerless Brighid set to create a weapon more powerful than anything she'd ever undertaken, her ambition and inspiration flowed into the metal itself. How in the molten crucible a blade became a dragon, and that dragon became her constant companion. How he is made of living metal, and trinkets made from his shed scales have properties both wondrous and terrible. How he, too, knows his own form of smithcraft, and together they create artifacts to delight bards and heroes alike, their power unrivaled. For that is the way of fire, of Brighid: she is fire untamed, fire unbound, fire walking. Her flame will burn eternal, and the stories she sets in motion will be her immortality. Fire burns. Fire cleanses. Fire creates. May her light shine in the darkness, and sparks of inspiration spread wherever it touches. [/i][/center] [img]http://i.imgur.com/U8wSy0n.png[/img] [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/02MVfLx.png[/img] [i]We are not the only ones who remember. Battlefields recall the strife and glory of skirmishes, the blood of both the triumphant and the defeated sinking into the very earth. The ocean pulls memory into itself with a force as inexorable as its tides, home to shipwrecks and treasure that can recall their first voyage. Buildings, too, have a memory - an intrinsic recollection of who built them and for what purpose that resonates through their very foundation. With time, simple remembrances gain strength, power, sentience; they develop a mind of their own. Such was the way of [b][url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?p=lair&tab=dragon&id=284903&did=33181467]Nekromanteion[/url][/b], a sacred temple built with reverence, to stand at the crux of the rivers of the Underworld. Perhaps it was the influence of such a potent location: where oaths, miracles, oblivion, grief, fire, and regret flow so steadily and inexorably. Perhaps it was the power of belief that took something inanimate and unthinking and turned it into something entirely different. Or perhaps it was an inexplicable whim of the Underworld and its denizens, whose motives are known only to them. Whatever the reason, one day the building woke, stretched, and took a step outside. It - she - followed the winding path created by the rivers, suddenly filled with a need to live, experience, learn, and explore. We are not the only ones who remember. Indeed, after nearly everything but time itself forgot [b][url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?p=lair&id=284903&tab=dragon&did=43977732]Narcissus[/b][/url], the pond where he sat transfixed remembered him. The water into which he gazed - a potent mix of runoff from rivers of flame, truth, remorse, of promises kept and broken - remembered him, preserved him after life had long since left him. The bright yellow and ghostly white flowers that took his name remembered him, their heads turned expectantly towards the one who created them. Narcissus lives no longer, not in the way we think of it, existing instead in reflections and recollections, in tales and stories. Nekromanteion was never alive, not in the way we think of it, yet she wanders the Underworld endlessly, seeking knowledge, seeking answers, seeking life. Thus do they walk together, life and death, the remembered and forgotten, forging new paths for themselves as they traverse a realm of possibility entirely their own.[/i][/center] [img]http://i.imgur.com/U8wSy0n.png[/img] [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/iuKtRpn.png[/img] [i]Our experiences make us who and what we are. They shape us, they teach us, they lead us down one path and away from another. Our decisions make us who and what we are. They change us, they guide us, they shine light onto some things in our life and cast others into shadow. Our relationships make us who and what we are. They bolster us, they alter us, they show us experiences we’d never have found ourselves and impact the decisions we make. Daedalus knows this better than most. Blessed by the gods with immortality for his great gifts of invention and creation, he has experienced more than his share. His decisions and their consequences echo in the empty parts of his life, and relationships formed have changed him more than he ever could have expected it. [b][url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?p=lair&tab=dragon&id=284903&did=33182677]Baba Yaga[/b][/url] could’ve told you all this in fewer words, twisting poignancy into riddles and truth into pithy sayings, all while smiling a smile that could mean absolutely anything. She’s lived more lifetimes than most, kept alive by belief and magic, by trickery and sheer willpower. The wisdom and knowledge her experiences have brought her are things she decided to share with the rest of the world — for a price. We cannot go back and affix wings more securely to the base. We cannot go back and become someone else, someone in the center of stories instead of the periphery. That does not mean we lose all options. [b][url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?p=lair&id=284903&tab=dragon&did=33136749]Daedalus[/b][/url] builds small things now, carefully checking and rechecking them for any hazard or risk, not trusting his immense skill to any equally immense project. Not again. Baba Yaga enjoys the life on the periphery, steering heroes and maidens towards doom or their heart’s desire — both, on a good day. In the end, it is all within our power: we are the ones that shape and teach, that change and guide, that bolster and alter. We are the ones that find our path, often digressing on the way. We are the ones that choose to open ourselves to new experiences, to new relationships, to walking down the latest path whether it’s lit by surety or not. We are the makers. We are the inventors. We are the guides. We are the story, and it is ours to write.[/i][/center] [img]http://i.imgur.com/U8wSy0n.png[/img] [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/8l83zBM.png[/img] [i]Magic is a wild thing; it cannot be tamed. We can study it, try to measure and quantify it, try to predict how it might act or react. We can test it, seeing what can be made possible and what limitations hold fast. We can use it, changing our world and everything in it, but we can never master it. Outside a research facility dedicated to the study and identification of magic, there sits a grove that contains no dragon ever tagged with a subject number. Yet stories are born here, legends come to life, and some things change completely. It is a wild place, with a mind of its own. [b][url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?p=lair&id=284903&tab=dragon&did=34974309]Ceridwen[/b][/url] brews her cauldron here. Capable of granting immortality, of bringing the dead back to life, of transforming one thing to another and back again. Her life is a solitary one, and she prefers it this way. She brews rumours of wicked witches lurking in the depths of this grove and takes pains to make trails that lead absolutely nowhere. This is her world, and she has everything just so. [b][url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?p=lair&tab=dragon&id=284903&did=44224128]Dendrite[/b][/url] had other ideas. He didn’t mean to have any ideas at all, actually — older trees are less prone to fits of fancy; they leave that to the dryads — but magic respects no boundaries, and this grove is a wild place. From a cauldron of birth and rebirth, creation and transformation, has emerged a tree both sentient and more active than any tree has any right to be. He moves freely in the grove, full of questions about all that he sees. Suddenly no longer alone, Ceridwen has taken to learning how to explain to a former — if that’s the right term, perhaps he’s just evolved, grown, transformed —tree about everything under the sun. Thrust upon her has been the role of teacher and guide, and into her life has come someone with more vitality and curiosity than she could ever imagine. Magic is a wild thing; it likes to wander. It likes to tinker with what we know to be true, changing the rules when it feels like it. Ceridwen is no longer alone. Dendrite wants to know how, exactly, eating is accomplished with a — what was it called — yes, a mouth. And in a facility nearby, Runecatcher hatchlings are showing up, their origins unclear. They are wild, with minds of their own, insatiable curiosity and uncanny abilities. For now, the magic is satisfied.

But all things are attracted to lower levels with greater stability, and it is in this that a temporal flow of one second per second is attained and a speed of one meter per second in that same time span will indeed cover one meter. There is control in stability, and time and relative dimensions will themselves shift and feel the earth move, hide away in a nest that is surely too small, and return merely hours later with a collection of hatchlings that speak far too maturely for their age.

But their love was doomed, as his life would be over in a blink of an eye and they would be separated by death forever. Desperate, Selene cast a spell over Endymion causing him to fall into an eternal sleep. Now she watches over her sleeping beloved, who remains deathless and ageless.

Nobody was ever grateful for his services, some even said he brought the evil spirits upon them himself and that death followed in his wake. Finally, the White Wolf decided to return to the green Shrieking Wilds where he had begun his journey so long ago and offer his skills not for shiny coins of gold, but in exchange for a warm comfortable den and a place to call home.

Upon invoking his runes, [b][url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=33411295]Oeramn's[/b][/url] pearl transformed into a globe of pure sunlight (which he tends to keep at a soft golden glow to avoid blinding others). As such, he is capable of producing his own sunlight, both warm presence or destructive focus (he tends to prefer soft, warm light) and manipulating existing sunlight, bending or even refracting it like a prism. In working with his mate, Yavie, Oeramn has discovered that he can manipulate the sunlight energy she transfers from him to her plants, enabling him to, in effect, control the plants infused with it. She will not let him test this puppetry trick on her light therapy subjects, her energy transference abilities allowing her to cut his control, and thus his inquisitive mind, off from such experimental attempts.[/i][/center] [rule] [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/w6jTLx9.png[/img] [i]Always a gentle romantic, once she invoked her runes, [b][url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=31490973]Aurora[/b][/url] could see the golden threads of romantic fate tying others together. The closer their proximity to that mate, the more obvious their thread to her eyes. Since then, she's discovered some people have more than one thread and they come in multiple colors. A gentle pink denotes familial love, for example, while the golden threads mark soulmates. She can't always see threads, not for everyone, though it is rare when she can't. Among those whose threads she cannot see are her own, and her mate [b][url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=32850473]Shibuichi's[/b][/url]. Along with this gift she is able to sense and empathically project the various ranges of love and affection. So, for example, she could pick up on a mother's love for her child, and project it so that the child feels it directly. It helps ease doubts, letting people literally feel the love others have for them. She can also amplify love and affection, giving a stronger "voice" to something already there. Finally, like the sunrise for which she is named, invoking her runes gave her some power over new beginnings, allowing her to auspiciously charge them when focused on the event/people involved. Nearly halfway through his runic phrase, Shibuichi froze up as the warmth of life and his emotions both fled his mind and body, replaced by cold metal through his core. He has since then discovered the metal is malleable and he can move freely. He is much stronger now, but far less dexterous. However, he is also flexible. All the same, he is afraid that a full invocation will finish the process and he'll become nothing more than a fancy gilded statue or worse. In this state, his emotions are muted. He thought them completely gone until fate brought him Aurora. She's the only reason he feels warmth at all these days. He has recently discovered that he can manipulate metals in small amounts, blending them into alloys, softening and shaping them to harden back into various artworks and jewelry.[/i][/center] [img]http://i.imgur.com/U8wSy0n.png[/img] [rule] [center][url=http://www1.flightrising.com/forums/baz/2505065#post_34798029]return to the top of this post[/url][/center] [rule]

Asteria conducts long, thoughtful conversations with stars. Erebus walks through the darkness as if he's made of night itself. They are in this world, but not of it. Nighttime is their time, and their language is esoteric and mysterious, of tenebrous shadows and shafts of moonlight. There is a certain starkness to the night, a time when hope and regret hover close to the surface. Secrets are easier to share after dark, and hard truths are ready to confront.

Do not trust it all, however — moonlight hides as much as it illuminates, and a moment of midnight melancholy can spiral so easily into darker, desolate places. Turn your attention to the skies instead — confide in the moon and stars. Trace the pattern of constellations spread endlessly above you. Even in utmost darkness, there is light — there are wishes, and hopes, and dreams. Confront the night without fear and gain an entirely new perspective of a once-familiar world.

Visions. Things seen in a dream, behind closed eyes. Knowledge that arrives with little fanfare, its truth as undeniable as the mystery of its origins. Visionaries. Those who can see beyond the here and now, viewing those limitations only as suggestions. The ones who wield perspective and truth like the tools they are, tipping the world just slightly askew to shift our perceptions.

Delphi, fabled prophetess on a first-name basis with Fate, and Hermes, messenger of gods both acknowledged and unknown, live in a world that resembles none other. Shaped by visions and occupied by visionaries, it is constantly shifting, changing, tilting — and so are its inhabitants.

Sun's Glory

Rah, sun god both benevolent and merciless, and Zorya, keeper of the dawn and dusk, guardian of the gates that the sun passes through each morning and evening. This magical pair embodies the warmth of the sun, the promise of morning, and the mysteries of twilight. Runes are written upon their scales, indecipherable and ancient. Step into the light with this luminous pair and bask in their glow.

An idea is the most powerful thing of all. A single thought can change the world. So many things influence them — opinions, experiences, expectations. Thoughts can grow, ideas can change, and suddenly all is transformed. Nothing is what it seems, for who can predict what new belief will shape us? What new perspective will cause us to doubt everything we were so certain of? Belief generates energy, and energy powers reality.

Aether, a living battery, can strengthen the illusions Hecate crafts so meticulously until we cannot distinguish them from reality — until they become reality.

There are ways we can protect ourselves — knocks on wood, salt tossed over a shoulder, careful avoidance of cracks, ladders, and dark-colored felines. Our good luck charms will bring fortune, and the dreamcatchers hung where we sleep will catch any bad dreams before they can get to us. We believe it, and that makes it so. We believe, and it becomes the truth. Or does it?

So much of our lives seems laid out for us. We inherit qualities and grudges alike from our parents; we step into roles that seem to fit even if their constraints itch. Is it really a choice if we have no other option?

What if we could do anything, be anything? What if our constraints are self-imposed, our limits thought up by others and not reflecting on our own capabilities. What if we could start fresh, the world spread out before us in a sea of options?

Lorelei sings a siren song of opportunity, of hope, of empowerment. Not all are ready to take their lives into their own hands, however, and the fragments of their wrecked ships are all what’s left of their attempts.

Others are ready, open, willing to risk the discomfort of change and plunge headlong into the terrifying unknown. Gordian is cursed - no, no. Gordian was cursed, for that enchanted song showed him an entirely new way to be. A gold-touched descendant of Midas, he was unable to touch anything without it turning to metal - gold, silver, steel, iron, it didn’t matter; it was all statuary in the end.

The sea has its own magic, however, its own rules and its own rhythm. When Gordian plunged into the waves in a bid to escape his fate, he changed it. The ocean has a mind of its own, and it heeds only the rules it makes. Thus Gordian’s curse was washed away, swept into the fathomless depths.

What if we found ourselves on an entirely unexpected path? What if the burdens we’d resigned ourselves to were, too, washed away? What if we heard the mermaids singing, each to each, and in their words heard strength, heard wisdom, heard power? What if we did not find ourselves wrecked upon unyielding rock and instead swam free and true through waters we called our own?

What if?

Secrets. Treasures. Riddles. Answers. Relics buried with the dead, holding magic long forgotten but no less potent for its obscurity. Someone must remember who and what came before. Secrets are heavy, but someone must keep them. Sphinx guards knowledge and memory alike, offering wisdom wrapped in cryptic phrases to those that seek her.

Anubis spends his time in tombs, where he has daily dealings with life and afterlife, death and rebirth, truths revealed and mysteries unraveled. He knows answers to age-old questions, but they are not his to share.

Instead he devotes himself to recording, to remembering, to recounting, filling page after page with the deeds and hopes of those who have gone before. Nothing is truly dead if it is remembered; no one is truly gone. And so the pages fill the books, words indelibly printed, volume upon volume placed reverently upon a shelf that already holds so many tomes.

Spirits pass through his chambers, lives ending and beginning with a tip of the scale. Souls are measured, counted, noted, and sent on to whatever comes next. With Anubis they leave remnants of themselves, artifacts of their lives. He hears their regrets and wishes, their secrets and fears, their triumphs and accomplishments, and forgets none of it.

Secrets. Treasures. Riddles. Answers. Mystery shrouds them both, this pair that has withstood life and death, catastrophe and recovery, destruction and creation. They were there when the world began, and they will be there until the end — remembering.

Fire burns. Fire purifies. Fire cleanses. No one knows this better than Brighid, One Most Mighty and Fair, she who wields fire with the same confident ease as her other blacksmithing tools. Songs are sung about her creations, poetry written about what wonders she can bring into being with a thought, an effort of will, and a roaring forge.

Igneous is such a creation, and his tale is a favourite among children. How, when Peerless Brighid set to create a weapon more powerful than anything she'd ever undertaken, her ambition and inspiration flowed into the metal itself. How in the molten crucible a blade became a dragon, and that dragon became her constant companion. How he is made of living metal, and trinkets made from his shed scales have properties both wondrous and terrible. How he, too, knows his own form of smithcraft, and together they create artifacts to delight bards and heroes alike, their power unrivaled.

For that is the way of fire, of Brighid: she is fire untamed, fire unbound, fire walking. Her flame will burn eternal, and the stories she sets in motion will be her immortality. Fire burns. Fire cleanses. Fire creates. May her light shine in the darkness, and sparks of inspiration spread wherever it touches.

We are not the only ones who remember. Battlefields recall the strife and glory of skirmishes, the blood of both the triumphant and the defeated sinking into the very earth. The ocean pulls memory into itself with a force as inexorable as its tides, home to shipwrecks and treasure that can recall their first voyage.

Buildings, too, have a memory - an intrinsic recollection of who built them and for what purpose that resonates through their very foundation. With time, simple remembrances gain strength, power, sentience; they develop a mind of their own. Such was the way of Nekromanteion, a sacred temple built with reverence, to stand at the crux of the rivers of the Underworld.

Perhaps it was the influence of such a potent location: where oaths, miracles, oblivion, grief, fire, and regret flow so steadily and inexorably. Perhaps it was the power of belief that took something inanimate and unthinking and turned it into something entirely different. Or perhaps it was an inexplicable whim of the Underworld and its denizens, whose motives are known only to them.

Whatever the reason, one day the building woke, stretched, and took a step outside. It - she - followed the winding path created by the rivers, suddenly filled with a need to live, experience, learn, and explore.

We are not the only ones who remember. Indeed, after nearly everything but time itself forgot Narcissus, the pond where he sat transfixed remembered him. The water into which he gazed - a potent mix of runoff from rivers of flame, truth, remorse, of promises kept and broken - remembered him, preserved him after life had long since left him. The bright yellow and ghostly white flowers that took his name remembered him, their heads turned expectantly towards the one who created them.

Narcissus lives no longer, not in the way we think of it, existing instead in reflections and recollections, in tales and stories. Nekromanteion was never alive, not in the way we think of it, yet she wanders the Underworld endlessly, seeking knowledge, seeking answers, seeking life.

Thus do they walk together, life and death, the remembered and forgotten, forging new paths for themselves as they traverse a realm of possibility entirely their own.

Our experiences make us who and what we are. They shape us, they teach us, they lead us down one path and away from another.

Our decisions make us who and what we are. They change us, they guide us, they shine light onto some things in our life and cast others into shadow.

Our relationships make us who and what we are. They bolster us, they alter us, they show us experiences we’d never have found ourselves and impact the decisions we make.

Daedalus knows this better than most. Blessed by the gods with immortality for his great gifts of invention and creation, he has experienced more than his share. His decisions and their consequences echo in the empty parts of his life, and relationships formed have changed him more than he ever could have expected it.

Baba Yaga could’ve told you all this in fewer words, twisting poignancy into riddles and truth into pithy sayings, all while smiling a smile that could mean absolutely anything. She’s lived more lifetimes than most, kept alive by belief and magic, by trickery and sheer willpower. The wisdom and knowledge her experiences have brought her are things she decided to share with the rest of the world — for a price.

We cannot go back and affix wings more securely to the base. We cannot go back and become someone else, someone in the center of stories instead of the periphery. That does not mean we lose all options.

Daedalus builds small things now, carefully checking and rechecking them for any hazard or risk, not trusting his immense skill to any equally immense project. Not again. Baba Yaga enjoys the life on the periphery, steering heroes and maidens towards doom or their heart’s desire — both, on a good day.

In the end, it is all within our power: we are the ones that shape and teach, that change and guide, that bolster and alter. We are the ones that find our path, often digressing on the way. We are the ones that choose to open ourselves to new experiences, to new relationships, to walking down the latest path whether it’s lit by surety or not.

We are the makers. We are the inventors. We are the guides. We are the story, and it is ours to write.

Magic is a wild thing; it cannot be tamed. We can study it, try to measure and quantify it, try to predict how it might act or react. We can test it, seeing what can be made possible and what limitations hold fast. We can use it, changing our world and everything in it, but we can never master it.

Outside a research facility dedicated to the study and identification of magic, there sits a grove that contains no dragon ever tagged with a subject number. Yet stories are born here, legends come to life, and some things change completely. It is a wild place, with a mind of its own.

Ceridwen brews her cauldron here. Capable of granting immortality, of bringing the dead back to life, of transforming one thing to another and back again. Her life is a solitary one, and she prefers it this way. She brews rumours of wicked witches lurking in the depths of this grove and takes pains to make trails that lead absolutely nowhere. This is her world, and she has everything just so.

Dendrite had other ideas. He didn’t mean to have any ideas at all, actually — older trees are less prone to fits of fancy; they leave that to the dryads — but magic respects no boundaries, and this grove is a wild place.

From a cauldron of birth and rebirth, creation and transformation, has emerged a tree both sentient and more active than any tree has any right to be. He moves freely in the grove, full of questions about all that he sees.

Suddenly no longer alone, Ceridwen has taken to learning how to explain to a former — if that’s the right term, perhaps he’s just evolved, grown, transformed —tree about everything under the sun. Thrust upon her has been the role of teacher and guide, and into her life has come someone with more vitality and curiosity than she could ever imagine.

Magic is a wild thing; it likes to wander. It likes to tinker with what we know to be true, changing the rules when it feels like it. Ceridwen is no longer alone. Dendrite wants to know how, exactly, eating is accomplished with a — what was it called — yes, a mouth. And in a facility nearby, Runecatcher hatchlings are showing up, their origins unclear. They are wild, with minds of their own, insatiable curiosity and uncanny abilities. For now, the magic is satisfied.

Between the eyes and ears, one can find a new world of strange sights and music if you look deep enough. It's not a place for the sane and whole to tread. Your mind and body is what's at stake if you dare to venture into this world.

Ruled by its quiet king Avindr echoed in fog displaying the twisted mind of a mute dragon with his need for dominance. With his kind siren queen Cadence who sings out a song bending your heart to its mesmerizing melody. Together in madness and sanity for now and always.

What happens when the monster slayer falls for the monster? This is the case of Subject #3266 whose gift is incredible strength when fighting "monsters". His runes, though uninvoked, show him visions of glory he must chase. After a quest, he heard rumors of a Gorgon and swiftly ran to kill her thinking it an epic quest. Following his leads, he came upon a weeping Pearlcatcher high upon a throne of marble. Subject #2278, her voice heavy with tears, said to him, "Have you come to slay me, hero? Do a weeping woman favor and spare me the pain of this lonely life."

He stood before her, in shock at her request to kill her. He dropped his blade at the sight of beautiful dragoness before him. Upon her marble throne draped in silk and sunlight, he vowed to stay by her side claiming he would not fear her. He would bring her gold and power so she would have a court to ease her lonely heart.

Death is an enigma. So many questions remain attached to the word, unable to be answered. It's what's after death that worries... and interests. Thanatos, the personification of death knows this better than anyone. He speaks with the dead, even embodying the characteristics of a spirit at times. He comes and goes at will, striking when least expected. He is feared and awed at the same time. Fortuna, goddess of fortune and personification of luck, is no stranger to death either. She sees possibilities in time, a coin toss of life or death to see whether luck is on your side. Though she only voices the positive, a spin in her phrasing to make it seem as if her luck is always your side, be aware that she only views the best possible outcome. It is not set in stone and a simple mishap can change her vision entirely.

Time and space are one and the same. As you move through space, you are attracted to a place where time flows more slowly for you, a force called 'gravity'. So too is the space-shifting Sachmet guided towards the time master Iah. Alone, they have little control over what occurs - flowers decay then bloom in rapidity, upward stairways come out at their own bases, vases freeze moments before hitting the ground, rooms may become tiled in tessellating octagons, and causality and euclidean geometry give up and go for lunch.

But all things are attracted to lower levels with greater stability, and it is in this that a temporal flow of one second per second is attained and a speed of one meter per second in that same time span will indeed cover one meter. There is control in stability, and time and relative dimensions will themselves shift and feel the earth move, hide away in a nest that is surely too small, and return merely hours later with a collection of hatchlings that speak far too maturely for their age.

Time will tell if there is the space for all their wonders...

To wish selfishly tends to backfire and none know this more than the fallen king. To trick a being of far greater power than you is pure folly, as the unlucky farm-boy discovered.

Oro, whose sole power is to sense and fulfill desire, discovered her power turned against her when its sole direction is her own gold fever. Jack found himself unable to leave this world, in service to the Deities or for any other reason, after rather thoroughly humiliating the Shadowbinder herself, left only with his own self-created ghosts for company. But there can be a happy ending, even to stories that end badly. Faced with each other, Jack no longer wanders alone as he is kept in good quarters and in good friends in return for study, while his new mate Oro has found herself as free as ever in movement as she fulfills his desire for company. Even if she is the gold standard.

However, tests indicate vast quantities of sulphur within Jack's pearl, even though the secretions he emits to add to it do not. The reason is as yet unknown, but it may have something to do with his claims of immortality...

'Jack o' the lantern! Joan the wad,
Who tickled the maid and made her mad
Light me home, the weather's bad.'

'Death and she, Life-In-Death, they throw their dice for the crew.
She wins the Mariner and he belongs to her now.'

So claims Mariner when he tells his sorry tale to all who meet him, amidst the stormy weather his mere presence has caused, before moving on to prevent similar disaster befalling the listeners. He is always quickly followed by Vita Morte, the very dragon he claims ruined him but is reluctant to leave. For her part, Vita Morte does not wish to leave Mariner, claiming that he is her property, won fair and square, although it is apparent that she believes she can converse with those who die at sea.

It is perhaps unwise to cross her, however, as she appears to have the face of the skull of a large seabird, and claims to have been a golden porpoise or a cloud chaser on occasion. And Mariner, a pacifist who believes all life should be respected, is adamant that killing those creatures can only lead to ruin. Perhaps is for the best that the Coliseum be avoided. Perhaps it is for the best that the Kelp Beds be left alone.

'And the listener's a sad and wiser man.
And the tale goes on and on and on and on...'

It was believed that another Storycatcher had been discovered when, against regulations, Sesat used her phenomenal power to create life from words to create a Pied Piper. But the resulting dragon, Hamelin, is not a Runecatcher of any kind, despite appearing near-identical in appearance and power level. He appears to have more in common with the theorised precursor to the Runecatchers, although study has been difficult due to his attitude and powers. His is fiercely protective of the dragon who brought into this world and has the power to control any creature above a certain level of intelligence with his music, from rodents through to dragons.

Attempts to remove his instrument have been unsuccessful; tests show Hamelin's voice is sufficient should he lack access to his pipes. Contact with Sesat has been impossible since the incident. Study terminated, as focus shifts towards containment.

Light and shadows, shadows and light. Neither can exist without the other. Without shadows, light is just a concept. Without light, shadows are hidden in the dark. As is the same with Opal and Adventure. Without Opal, Adventure is dull and lifeless. Without Adventure, Opal has no meaning. When they come together, miracles are bound to happen.

The offspring of Opal and Adventure have been shown to play with balls of light and melt into shadows, making them the mischief makers of the century. Some may choose to invoke the runes at a very young age, since Opal and Adventure haven't shown any signs of madness, which would make invoking their offspring's runes at a young age dangerous. However, both Opal and Adventure have told all their hatchlings to take invoking their runes seriously, since it can be extremely hard to control their powers at a young age.

The following pairs belongs to @Silwyna and includes three Mooncatcher subvariants - if you have any questions, contact her.

The Moon. Many cultures revere the Moon as goddess that bestows fertility. But she is also the ruler of the tides and reigns the circle of life. The constant lunar cycles represent birth, growth and death.

Many myths and legends evolve around this mystical celestial body that graces the night’s sky. 'Under the Pale Moonlight', the tale of the immortal goddess Selene and her mortal lover Endymion is one of the most popular stories told. It is said that Endymion was so beautiful to behold that Selene fell under his spell from the moment she set eyes on him. And how could he, a mere mortal, not fall for a goddess from the heavens?

But their love was doomed, as his life would be over in a blink of an eye and they would be separated by death forever. Desperate, Selene cast a spell over Endymion causing him to fall into an eternal sleep. Now she watches over her sleeping beloved, who remains deathless and ageless. Only allowed to wake once in a blue moon, he will remain her youthful and beautiful lover forever.


lHfinNC.png
Gwynbleidd, known as the White Wolf or the Lone Wolf, is a formidable warrior and mercenary. Wandering all through Sornieth, he would take care of any demonic, supernatural, monstrous or worldly threat if the payment was satisfactory. But over the years, he grew weary and tired. Nobody was ever grateful for his services, some even said he brought the evil spirits upon them himself and that death followed in his wake. Finally, the White Wolf decided to return to the green Shrieking Wilds where he had begun his journey so long ago and offer his skills not for shiny coins of gold, but in exchange for a warm comfortable den and a place to call home. Yet he found so much more here for a pale powerful Enchantress known as Yennefer touched his heart and soul. Her own powers made her an outcast, despised and hunted for her unparalleled abilities. Yennefer, too, fell for the stoic warrior at first sight. The Lone Wolf is alone no more.



YVRPctD.png
Nymeria, daughter of Dionysus and Kali, has inherited her parents' fierce and independent temperament. Her powers are destructive, her temper irascible. Few dare to cross her. Her union with Radiant is an explosive one, full of passion and fire. Sometimes too literally, as Radiant’s control over his fiery abilities is as feeble as his control over his hot temper.



yGcokvI.png
The Blue Moon is considered to possess especially powerful magic as are those who are born beneath it. A rare phenomenon, those hatchlings gazing at a Blue Moon when they crack their eggshells are either treated with reverence or fear.

Nyx is blessed with powerful and ample magical talent, she also possesses the gift of prophecy and soothsaying. Her birth was a cause for celebration that lasted a fortnight for she is night incarnated. A shadowy figure of exceptional power and beauty. Her mate Erebos, is the personification of darkness and even death bows to him. Feared by many, he is a silent watcher in the shadows. But their union is one of love and great tenderness.





RAIUl3W.png
When the Moon passes behind Sornieth and enters into its shadow, it does not vanish from sight but looms bigger and much closer than usual in the night’s sky, it’s color the dark red of freshly shed blood. It’s the time when the veil between the world of the living and the world of the dead is at its thinnest.
Ishtar, goddess of love and beauty but also war and combat, wanders the thin line between those worlds. Always in danger to lose her grasp on the world of the living and pass to the land of the dead, she is a fierce and beautiful warrior. Her mate, Ashur, is the ruler of the devastating autumn storms, his temper often as unpredictable and raging as the storms he commands. No prey ever escapes him. Their relationship is driven by passion and ardour, a dangerous dance on a razor’s edge.



ecu36to.png
When the Harvest Moon rises, the last crops are gathered from the field and stores are filled for the winter. The Harvest Moon, shining brightly and illuminating the fields with soft light, is revered by many as exceptionally powerful. But it is also a reminder that the chilly winds of winter are not far away.

Ceridwen is known as goddess of fertility and rebirth, grain goddess, but also a powerful sorceress. Her powers of alchemy and transformation are legendary. Not everyone appreciated her cauldron’s brews though. Her mate is Cernunnos, a feral and savage hunter. He is an elusive figure, driven by instinct rather than mind. Accompanied by the most ferocious beasts of the wild, he roams the ancient and mystical woods. But he is always drawn back to his mate, because they share a primal and strong bond. During their fervent courtship, it’s not easy to tell who is the hunter and who the hunted.


2tI406m.png
Sometimes darkness dwells within the soul of a dragon. A destructive fire that consumes everything. Blind rage or cold fury, both can destroy what is most dear to him. Named after an ancient and long forgotten deity of war, Ares embraces his dark nature, harnessing his desires rather than being controlled by them. But they are always there, threatening to break free and destroy what he holds most dear.

So far, he has channeled his anger and become one of the most skilled bounty hunters. His greatest strength and weakness is the love he bears for his mate, Cyrene. Though not of a faint heart herself, the dark side of her beloved often frightens her. Cyrene is a passionate huntress as well as a warrior. Her runes grant her the power to communicate with all the living things around her, plants and animals alike. For her, everything is connected and part of something bigger.

Pat and Phoebe, a pair matched under the moon. They found each other in their travels around the world of Sornieth, blessed upon crossing into each other's path in the Starwood Strand. They prefer darkness to light, though find themselves comfortable in both.

Pat is fond of artifacts, and can often pull memories and feelings hidden within them. They're attracted to moonstone and silver, and greatly enjoy the company of their Opposing forces. Something about a force that subdues itself is interesting.

Phoebe is a spirit talker, capable of communicating with the dead as they pass through the realms. They are beloved of diamond and chrysoberl, and find it amusing that their companion Opposing Forces is in contrast to that of their partner.

Together they make an excellent team for exploring the Ruins, and the world beyond, both physical and inter-dimensional.

Both Losna and Walkersea have a special ability with a form of telekenisis, where they can take themselves and a few others (on stronger nights alone or whenever they are together and linked) and float on the winds. They do not have to flap their wings and remain perfectly stable and floating in midair without moving a muscle. The lair calls upon them, during ceremonies, and when the healers must move the injured. They can stay aloft for hours at a time, but during full moon phases they are at their strongest both alone and linked together. Linking is something they have not found in anyone else - they can mentally reach to each other through that inner heart where they feel each other always, and combine their strength making both stronger. They have never successfully linked with anyone else and believe that it is a mating link connected to their runes.

Locally they are known as the Moonsingers - loving to float above the lair and sing songs into the night on special occasions. Until recent contact with new friends from the Ruins in Light Flight lands, they were unaware their were others similar to them. They are only now learning about invoking their Runes.

The following pair belongs to @EverAutumn and is of the Suncatcher variant. If you have any questions regarding the pair, don't hesitate to contact them.

One to create flame and one to control it. Both draw their power from the sun's light, but where Corona's displays are often erratic and uncontrollable, Eclipse's manipulation of light is masterful and precise. Theirs is a fine balance and they work together seamlessly.

Corona's abilities involve the creation of solar flares and fluctuations of temperatures. These abilities often correspond to her emotional state, becoming increasingly powerful and less stable as her emotions become more extreme.

Eclipse has the ability to manipulate solar energy, which makes him the perfect counterpart to Corona. He brings focus to her power, and can act as a magnifying glass for her phototechnic flares. He is also capable of bending light to create illusions. One cannot always trust what is real and what is just a trick of the light when Eclipse is near.

Both Suncatchers are stronger when they have sunlight at their disposal, but they can use their powers to a lesser degree even at night.

Hesperos and Estrella are known as The Cosmic. They are both invoked, their powers require great meditation beforehand to be used. They have the ability to cause disturbances in time and dimensional flux, while Estrella can use light manipulation.

Origenes's runes are still uninvoked, but his mate, a Guardian, has Runes of her own as well. The curious intermingling of breeds and magic has resulted in some equally curious hatchlings.

When the children are of age, they set out in search of certain spirits, whom they call "patrons". And when they do find their patrons, their magic is increased manifold -- but in exchange for this power, something else may be taken from them....

When two forces of devastation come together, how do they refrain from obliterating the world?

The Paladin of Lightning.

The Icy Enchantress.

It's a wonder Sunbeam Ruins is not constantly under siege from ice and lightning. But perhaps it is because of the unforgiving nature shared by Caden and Eira's powers that draws them together, that allows them to understand each other better than any other Runecatchers.

That reminds them to take care, lest either one of them is overwhelmed by the powers of their invoked runes.

Caden and Eira's progeny are more likely to possess weather-related powers, especially storms (of any kind). For those not inclined toward weather, their powers still tend to be on the violent, unstable side (even compared to "average" Runecatchers). It is extremely rare for their offspring to show no apparent abilities, but when it does happen, these dragons are like a clear day, a breath of fresh air among the clan.


U8wSy0n.png


The following pairs belong to @Saronai. If you have any questions regarding the pair, don't hesitate to contact them.

CBrnkp8.png
After invoking her runes, Yavie gained energy transference powers, converting sunlight into energy, much like photosynthesis. Her gift works particularly well for plants and beings in need of a little light therapy as she can transfer the sunlight energy to specific targets. When used on plants, her gift works particularly well, enabling them to grow and flourish or even recover from near-death wilting at a rapid pace. It is highly likely that Yavie could theoretically kill with her abilities, if she were to transfer such energies away entirely rather than creating that energy directly from renewable sunlight.

Upon invoking his runes, Oeramn's pearl transformed into a globe of pure sunlight (which he tends to keep at a soft golden glow to avoid blinding others). As such, he is capable of producing his own sunlight, both warm presence or destructive focus (he tends to prefer soft, warm light) and manipulating existing sunlight, bending or even refracting it like a prism.

In working with his mate, Yavie, Oeramn has discovered that he can manipulate the sunlight energy she transfers from him to her plants, enabling him to, in effect, control the plants infused with it. She will not let him test this puppetry trick on her light therapy subjects, her energy transference abilities allowing her to cut his control, and thus his inquisitive mind, off from such experimental attempts.

Always a gentle romantic, once she invoked her runes, Aurora could see the golden threads of romantic fate tying others together. The closer their proximity to that mate, the more obvious their thread to her eyes. Since then, she's discovered some people have more than one thread and they come in multiple colors. A gentle pink denotes familial love, for example, while the golden threads mark soulmates. She can't always see threads, not for everyone, though it is rare when she can't. Among those whose threads she cannot see are her own, and her mate Shibuichi's.

Along with this gift she is able to sense and empathically project the various ranges of love and affection. So, for example, she could pick up on a mother's love for her child, and project it so that the child feels it directly. It helps ease doubts, letting people literally feel the love others have for them. She can also amplify love and affection, giving a stronger "voice" to something already there. Finally, like the sunrise for which she is named, invoking her runes gave her some power over new beginnings, allowing her to auspiciously charge them when focused on the event/people involved.

Nearly halfway through his runic phrase, Shibuichi froze up as the warmth of life and his emotions both fled his mind and body, replaced by cold metal through his core. He has since then discovered the metal is malleable and he can move freely. He is much stronger now, but far less dexterous. However, he is also flexible. All the same, he is afraid that a full invocation will finish the process and he'll become nothing more than a fancy gilded statue or worse. In this state, his emotions are muted. He thought them completely gone until fate brought him Aurora. She's the only reason he feels warmth at all these days. He has recently discovered that he can manipulate metals in small amounts, blending them into alloys, softening and shaping them to harden back into various artworks and jewelry.

It has been our pleasure to finally put out an official report regarding the reopening of our facility. We hope that the new infrastructure in place, as well as the addition of two residential wings and more staff, will result in a more productive and less unstable environment.

The birth of Subject #4006 [Asteria] and Subect #8149 [Erebus]'s first hatch since that reopening seemed a fortituous event. We felt it set the tone for the new facility and what we hope to pursue in these exciting times.

Unfortunately, it appears that we were right.

Subject Numbers 1174 and 1175, twin sisters, invoked their runes upon birth. We are unsure if they both decided upon this, or if one made the choice and the residual magic present at any hatching took it from there. Either way, they were a handful from the start.

Estelle, subject 1174, is in the possession of translocation, commonly referred to as teleporting. While she is only able to physically teleport small distances, she seems able to throw her awareness or a certain sense - touch, smell, sight - further than her physical body. This ability shows much promise, even if she currently uses it to find snacks, hear what the staff are saying privately, or stage the perfect entrance.

Despite their identical appearance, their personalities set them very clearly apart. If Subject #1174 [Estelle] is the outgoing sister, Subject #1175 [Stella] is the introvert.

Such are the portents for our new facility: they are wild, charismatic, with stubborn wills and minds of their own, who are forces to be reckoned with, together or apart. And before you ask, yes - one or both of them is likely reading this report over our shoulders.

Both dragons are listed on the AH for 45k treasure each. If you wish me to hold one until you have funds, let me know.
