From the Founding to now, I will record all that anyone would need to know about us. Our leaders, the Clanmother, our territory... All will be recorded in time. Please, feel free to look around and learn of how we run things. All are welcome in this place of knowledge. Just put things back where you find them, if you would. Organizing all this is quite a chore. I hope you enjoy your time here. Do not hesitate to ask me anything you would like to know or need clarified. Advice and critique on my way of recording these things is very much appreciated.

She traveled across Sornieth for a long while with only Cain as her companion, before the two eventually settled within their homeland of the Crystalspine Reaches. Though she's stepped down from leadership, Mother Maeve's input is still welcomed by those currently in charge. She frequently sits in on council meetings or gives advice to the Lord and Lady. At all other times though, the hatchlings pester her for stories of her adventures.

She handles anything that can be solved with discussion and peace councils. The Ambassadors serve directly under Lady Titania, and they make decisions based on her will. All in all, this Skydancer is what keeps our clan from war and fighting whenever possible. [/columns] [columns] [right][font=book antiqua][b][color=#A400C5]The Lord Oberon[/color][b][/font] Blessed with stone-cold calculation and a strategic mind, our Lord is what keeps the clan together in times of strife. He heads the faction of warriors in Wisphaven, and none could lead a fight better than he. Lord Oberon also chooses the current Head Guard and organizes patrols around the clan's territory. As you can see, he is the one who leads us when all other options are exhausted.

The two set up the Council to make this process easier and more organized. Each member is chosen from different areas- both in work and in social class. This way, those in each area of our clan can express their opinions on one thing or another. This is still a new system though, and, as such, runs into a few rough patches as things are being figured out. But for now the addition of the Council seems to be working well and lets the common dragons here have a voice. [/size] [columns][url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=16163359] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/avatars/161634/16163359.png[/img] [/url][nextcol] [font=book antiqua][b][color=#A400C5]The Priest Estos[/color][/b][/font] As the guardian and keeper of the Starglow Sanctuary, Estos is a well respected individual. He makes sure the shrines and altars within the massive cavern are respected and that offerings do not mysteriously 'dissappear'. He also represents the religious side of our clan, and his presence within the Council is somewhat of a moral compass for the rest of us to abide by. [/columns] [columns][right][font=book antiqua][b][color=#A400C5]The Archivist Nyx[/color][/b][/font] The keeper of the Archive, where all information on our clan is stored. I make sure records are properly kept and handle most of the duties relating to books and the like. If previous accounts, records, or other pieces of information from the Archive are needed by the Council, I'm the one to fetch it. The buying, selling, and trade of manuscripts or other written pieces are also sent my way before anything is finalized. [nextcol][url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=25465309] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/avatars/254654/25465309.png[/img] [/url][/right][/columns] [columns][url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=17456179] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/avatars/174562/17456179.png[/img] [/url][nextcol][font=book antiqua][b][color=#A400C5]The Warrior Estrelle[/color][/b][/font] As one of the lead guards, Estrelle is the one who we look to when advice on patrols or other related problems crop up. She is the right hand of the Head Guard, and one of the most capable warriors currently. Anything related to fighting is run by her before decisions are made. She also brings advice from her superior quite often. In short, this Guardian helps us keep our heads in times of strife.[/columns] [columns][right][font=book antiqua][b][color=#A400C5]The Artisan Lorallel[/color][/b][/font] Next on the Council is Lorallel, our local hub for creative advice. She handles most festival related things, and she also heads the Merchant's Association with Emre. Creative ventures and ideas for expanding the clan's wealth and economy are generally left to the Fae duo. They've helped our community prosper greatly since given those duties. [nextcol][url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=17415015] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/avatars/174151/17415015.png[/img] [/url][/right][/columns] [columns][url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=13532348] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/avatars/135324/13532348.png[/img] [/url][nextcol][font=book antiqua][b][color=#A400C5]The Treasurer Tiberius[/color][/b][/font] As the one in charge of the clan's reserves of currency, Tiberius can be a very serious individual. He considers the costs for any and every decision made by the Council (and even by our monarchs). Unfortunately, the expenses of building up our clan again after the Migration have left our coffers a bit on the empty side. So, for now, he is extremely strict with the collective budget.[/columns] [columns][right][font=book antiqua][b][color=#A400C5]The Shopkeeper Emre[/color][/b][/font] Owner of the largest shop in Wisphaven and the other head of the Merchant's Association, Emre holds quite a bit of influence within the community. Her way of speaking is a bit hard to get used to, and Lorallel usually speaks for the both of them because of that. Nonetheless, this dragon is perhaps one of the best in business, and one heck of a haggler. If the price can be negotiated, she'll try for a discount.[nextcol][url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=17837806] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/avatars/178379/17837806.png[/img] [/url][/right][/columns] [center]----- ----- ----- [font=book antiqua][size=5][b][color=#A400C5]SUCCESSION[/color][/b][/size][/font] [sub]How Heirs are Chosen[/sub] ----- ----- ----- {Not Enough Information at Current Time}

In some cases, as with Clanfounder Cain, becoming an exalted is to ascend to the ranks of Arcanist's scholars after death. It gives those left behind closure; something to believe in once the loved one has left the physical plane. In other cases, like with my old clanmate Raiyana, the exalted goes to serve and learn under the Arcanist while still living. They dedicate the rest of their lives to study and research under the Arcane Deity. This is considered a great honor; not many are chosen to become an exalted. However, the wants and feelings of the dragon to ascend are always taken into account. If they do not wish to follow this path, they are not pressured to, and someone else is asked if they wish to take the previous candidate's place. In any case, the exalted are greatly respected. We honor them and, honestly, worship them in the way some worship ancestors. Of course, those of Wisphaven who are religious in some way or another mainly worship the Arcanist. Some who previously belonged to another Flight may or may not worship their previous element's deity as well. It all depends on the indididual. In my opinion, our clan is lucky to have such freedom. ----- ----- ----- [font=book antiqua][size=5][b][color=#A400C5]PLACES OF WORSHIP[/color][/b][/size][/font] [sub]Shrines and Other Things[/sub] ----- ----- ----- One of the larger caves in the clan's lair system is solely used as a place of remembrance and worship. Its name is the Starglow Sactuary. There are small shrines dedicated to the deities of all Sornieth's Flights, but the largest and most used belongs to the Arcanist. Despite this difference in size, all the shrines hold a likeness of the deity they honor and are well-kept. Though our patron deity's shrine and altar are a bit more extravagant than the others. Many offerings are made to him- though most are related to knowledge or the arcane in general. Some even leave bits of meteorite or moonstone they may have found in their travels! Also within this cavern are small altars dedicated to the exalted. They usually hold items that belonged to the individual before they left to serve the Arcanist, along with other trinkets or baubles that those who were close to the exalted might leave as an offering. ----- ----- ----- [font=book antiqua][size=5][b][color=#A400C5]INSIDE THE SHRINES[/color][/b][/size][/font] [sub]Features and Common Offerings[/sub] ----- ----- ----- [item=Arcanist Meteorite Miniature] [item=Shadowbinder Onyx Idol][item=Lightweaver Marble Bust] [item=Windsinger Painted Vase][item=Flamecaller Terracotta Figure][item=Earthshaker Stone Statue][item=Icewarden Ice Sculpture][item=Tidelord Seashell Decoration] [item=Plaguebringer Bone Scrimshaw][item=Gladekeeper Topiary Cutting] [item=Stormcatcher Scrap Metal Welding] [size=2][b][color=#A400C5]{Artistic Rendering of Shrines to Come}
