Last week there has been a massive beach party between the festivals- you can’t have missed it! As the final tents are being broken down and the prizes from various events are being handed out, let's look back at this special event, shall we?
Wind, Water and Earth flight organised loads of fantastic events, including a renga poetry game by Wind and a writing contest by Earth where you could let your creativity flow, a trivia game by Water to prove your knowledge, and much more, like games where you could test your luck, solve riddles and build your own windsock. With lots of tasty ice-cold drinks (with ice directly from the Southern Icefield) and exotic food, accompanied by a tropical melody on the breeze, the beach party left nothing to be desired.
Beside these fantastic events, the beach party was also a friendly dominance competition between the organising flights! A three-way tug-of-war! The winner of this dominance battle turned out to be Earth, but every flight has earned their rightful spot in the top 3, so each of the three flights can enjoy some well-deserved bonuses and relaxation after a week full of partying.
Next time you visit the beach and you go for a swim, build a sandcastle or fly a kite, there could be some great memories flooding in!
Wind News
Hello, fellow Windies!
There is going to be an upcoming registration window for new users starting on 05:30 on July 20 and ending on 05:30 on July 21. This means that soon, we’ll have an influx of new Wisps joining our flight!
We need to prepare for this new incoming of fresh young blood. There’s several ways we can prepare for this. One way to welcome these newbies is by springing a spontaneous Windfall on them. There’s nothing better for a newbie than to suddenly receive a kind, thoughtful gift of useful items out of the blue!
We can also help newbies by setting up forum posts in the Wind forum to offer them new dragons, advice, or just a friendly hello! Lots of new users will be using our flight-specific forums for the first time, and what better way to introduce them to the amazing forum life than by setting up threads where they can feel comfortable asking questions or getting resources and dragons?
Of course, there’s easier, less resource-consuming ways to welcome Wisps into the clan. Sometimes it’s something as simple as sending along a friendly PM or adding the Wisp to your buddy list if you guys get along well. Whatever you chose to do for a newbie, they will most definitely appreciate it! If you’re lucky, you’ll make a new friend in the process, and even if you don’t, you’ll still brighten someone’s day, and that’s always something to be proud of.
Newbies are coming. Are you ready?

Clan Interview
Hello again to the clan interview! My name is Peroxide Prince, and today I will be interviewing the lovely Zephyr!
What is your clan called and where do you live?
”My clan is called the Skyewings Aerie, we live on a part of the cliff that lies between the Windswept Plateau and The Sea of a Thousand Currents. Our home is a great tree that has carved a network of tunnels that the older members of our clan reside. The younglings remain above ground, within the great tree.”
Ah,so you live close to Water territory! How do you get along with Water,and clans from other elements?
”We have quite good relations with the nearby Water clans, Clan Abyssalsong, lead by Champagne, is our closest water ally. As for other elements, we have good relations with most we come across. Trading of goods and sometimes we even send off our hatchlings to learn from them and their deities.”
Does your clan have many hatchlings? Their care seems to be very important to you!
”We usually do, I love teaching the youth of my clan! A lot of the hatchlings we have are part of a special subspecies of Imperials called the Skyborne, they only recently returned to Sornieth and have taken up residence in our lair.”
Is there anything your clan is especially proud of?
”I would say it would the equality we strive for, that nobody has a higher ranking, no matter what region you were born to, in our clan. Even I am only a leader by their choice to follow me.”
Does your clan have any customs or rituals?
”The Skyewings have many traditions, most are followed by the members willingly. The most widely accepted ritual in our clan is the one we've come to call 'The Dance of the Wind.' Where members of the clan come together in a gathering and have a feast to celebrate the Windsinger and our flight. It's a happy celebration, there's singing and dancing, all kinds of fun!"
Lastly,does your clan have any sayings or philosophies you could leave us with?
”There's an older saying in the clan that we always say to our ally clans when we part,'May the wind grace your wings and guide you safely.'”
Thank you very much for your time!

Last time, we asked you what you thought about this year’s holiday familiars, but we’ll start off with a comment pointing out something that might just be true- perhaps it won’t even be all soldiers!
“Personally, I'm kind of hoping that they're general elementals, and that it's just Light that was a soldier~ I'd love to learn a little bit about each flight by seeing what kind of elementals they have! So like, if Light has a elemental soldier, that would indicate the Light, besides just being scholars and philosophers, has a militaristic bent as well. Maybe Fire would have a sword maker, a blacksmith, a fire artist, a fireworks specialist, or maybe even a glass blower? So many options! Of course, soldiers are rad, too, because seeing each flight's armor is really awesome (as is seeing where they get their cultural inspirations! Like I'd hope to see more Asian elements in Wind's armor, for instance)” ~skyarising
Assuming that it will be all soldiers, that wouldn’t be so bad according to the poll- over 60% of the voters love them!
For next issue, we’d like to ask you what you think about special events organised by the flights beside their festivals- much like the beach party.
Go here to answer the next question!
