Welcome to the Sornieth Flora & Fauna Codex Project!
The Codex is like a dragon's field guide to nature and its wonders for the magicians, doctors and collectors of your clan! It will serve the community as a tool to expand individual clan lore for a more immersed, surreal experience!
I hope with all my heart you guys come to enjoy this project as much as I know I will!
Check it Out!
Keep in Touch

If you don't hear from me during the week, something has come up.
!!! All conceptuals, subspecies, lore, headcanon and legit canon I claim no part of will not be featured in the codex unless permission by the creator is given in writing on this thread as proof.
All artwork featured in the codex will be my efforts but I will not claim rights or ownership of concept or creation, only the painting itself will be my work. !!!
What's in the Codex?
1. Detailed pictures of the Deities, dragon breeds/subspecies, beasts, animals, insects and plants as well as ingredients.
2. Information from the tooltips/Staff-run Q&A of the subjects along with some suggested lore/uses/headcanons and purposes.
3. A detailed map exposing locations of each subject, even organics!
4. Old notes discovered from ancient tomes written in Ursegal for you to decode!
5. Things like apparel, skins, battlestones and trinkets won't be heavily elaborated on but there will be pages that will include them along with their corresponding information/lore/user headcanons.
Why am I doing this?
This is strictly a personal endeavor to boost my painting and realism skills all the while giving you guys something to look at and use to better simulate your own lore and gameplay (I hope!)
Want To Help?
1. Post any links you can find on the subjects listed above. Headcanons, Lore, Subspecies, etc., even your own! Credit will be given and if you help me enough, you'll get one dragon from your clan featured in the Legends chapter!

- Permission Collectors
Because the wave of information is gargantuan and deep, I need a few users to go through each subspecies thread, every tic of information in the listed links for permission to use the lore/ideas/headcanon/drawn concepts from their creators. Even though it is FlightRising related, that does NOT entitle ANYONE to use it in such a way as this and I need the approval so I can sleep at night. There's so much info that if no permission is given, that's totally fine! I don't need enforcers, just gatherers. Please? ;-; Apply today!
- Writers
Because I'm doing the painting, I will need help with getting the lore and info for each page organized and written up! This will cut my work load by 50%! Apply today!
- Concept Artists
There is no set standard! I need artists to doodle up concepts of subspecies if there are no images provided! Coloring is a must, along with collaboration and maturity. A group of you will get together and collab or work separately at times, to help me flesh out subspecies that have nothing but a description. I'll elaborate with you and pick the best CONCEPTS from your efforts! Traditional is worthy but slow to work around within a group. Plus, the scanner eats the colors and the colors are important to me as well as the concept itself! Digital artists apply today!
Writing Contest!
Do you feel overwhelmed with the daunting task of gathering information for the codex? Would you really like one of your dragons to be listed among the legends? Forever enshrined within the reality of Sornieth? With a bit of brainstorming and a fair amount of personal time, you can!!
- The subject:
Create a Legend, a Famous dragon or an Infamous dragon!
Legend:
1. A traditional story sometimes popularly regarded as historical but not authenticated. I.e. "the legend of King Arthur"
Synonyms: myth, saga, epic, folk tale, folk story, traditional story, tale, story, fairy tale, narrative, fable, romance.
2. An extremely famous or notorious person, especially in a particular field.
"the man was a living legend"
synonyms: celebrity, star, superstar, icon, famous person, great, genius, phenomenon, luminary, giant, big name.
Famous:
1. known about by many people. "a famous star"
synonyms: well known, celebrated, prominent, famed, popular, having made a name for oneself.
Infamous:
1. well known for some bad quality or deed. "an infamous war criminal"
synonyms: notorious, disreputable, ill-famed, of ill-repute

- You can focus on and submit one subject or two or all three, it's up to you!
- Sadly, submissions are dragons only. Gijinkas are not breedable in FlightRising. I'm so sorry :(
- Please no "Mary-Sue's", "Gary-Stu's", "Flawless" or "God-like". We have Deities, and no one wants to read about someone's perfect life and perfect ways and drinking milk doesn't make them poop. Be original and captivating! Give them flaws, give them doubts, bad habits, selfishness, mediocre parents!
- Three entries maximum per user!
- Please use the template below into your submission! Any questions left unanswered will forfeit your submission and won't be included for consideration. I don't want to be a sad panda :'C
- Your submission must be of a dragon that's in your lair!
- You can use a dragon in your lair that has the new colors!
- Don't overload the dragon with apparel. There is too much of a good thing!
- Apparel is not required. We are not ashamed of our naked brethren. Embrace the bare-backed!
- Accents are not required but implored. Being unique is awesome!
- Skins are not permitted. Although it does provide a unique aspect to the dragon, any number of dragons can look the same but with different apparel and I would rather not have dopplegangers. Dragons that have made a name for themselves stand alone!
- Adults are preferred but perhaps there have been hatchlings who have done great and terrible things! Who raised these children!?
- Submissions must be no longer than 4 paragraphs. The submission will be located on the same page as the dragon painting so it needs to fit!
- If your submission is accepted, it will be checked for spelling errors and such so it will feel epic when read out loud or silently. Imagine Morgan Freeman reading it aloud. Make us laugh, make us cry! Make us curl up in the corner and think about our life choices.
- Please be aware of FlightRising rules and guidelines. Nothing too excessive (ripping babies apart, sleeps in the blood of their enemies, clubs baby seals kinda thing, you get the idea.)
- There is currently no deadline since this project alone will take at least a year to two years to complete. When a deadline does become a thing, I will let you know a month in advance!
- Have fun!
There will be a total of 50 winners! I'll do my best to gather up honorable-mention prizes but they're not guaranteed. I'm a poor clan leader :'C
The winners will have their own page in the "Legends: Famous and Infamous" chapter and a smaller version to be used in their profiles! Their dragon will be painted and immortalized forever in the history of Sornieth lore. Think of it as a FREE COMMISSION!! 8O
