The Yuki Clan is united as a family - not by blood, but by the heart. We believe that each Dragon has its own path to follow, whether it be good or bad. As our Clan is very diverse with our members, everyone is welcome here, no matter the Flight or background.
Our Clan closely follows much of Wind Flight's culture, by naming our Dragons with Wind names, decorating our lairs with lanterns, and sharing customs with the Flight. Yet our Dragons are protected and sheltered here, and are loyal to the Windsinger as well as the Icewarden. Many of our Dragons do enjoy the frosted peaks of the mountains, the chilly winds, and call this place home.
Although our Clan doesn't have its own unique rune, we often use the [I]Yuki[/I], [I]Ame[/I], and [I]Kaze[/I] symbols from the one of the Wind Flight's languages on our apparel and decorations. They mean "Snow", "Rain", and "Wind" respectively.

[img]http://i.imgur.com/cfSwDhl.png[/img]
Miyuki, the founder of the Yuki Clan, had lived with her family in a hidden Clan deep underground in the Southern Icefield. In her youth, she was rebellious and wild, and loved to explore.
One night, Miyuki decided to finally accomplish her dream to explore all of Sorneith. She soon set off, spending two of her years wandering the wide, open world.
She stayed in the Windswept Plateau for a time, and met her now mate and second leader, Ryota. Sadly, she soon left to journey back home, only to find that her birth Clan was gone. Miyuki mourned for them, and soon decided to create her own Clan - The Yuki Clan - in memory of them.
After half of a season leading the Clan, Ryota found her once again, and he become part of the Great Two. They decided to make a council, to be sure that each decision in the Clan was equal and fair.
Many days after the peaceful reign of the Great Two, a dispute with the Longneck tribe began to appear. BeastClans weren't normally so vicious, but that group wanted territory. As the Yuki Clan is quite fertile in mining supplies (being set in a large mountain), and rich in treasures and gems, they decided that the easiest way was to obtain those would to be to capture a medium-sized Clan's lair. The war lasted two long seasons, and often the Yuki Clan sought help from their allies, but they did not do much.
Though many of the Clan were wounded or killed, the Yuki Clan was driven on by a new faith, several months later. The first and true heir was born - Rumiko, one that reflected the ideals of her leaders at a young age. With this, all who were willing to fight drove out the Longnecks with great honor for their Clan. A celebration was held, and in that moment the entire clan felt united, a content and warm feeling filled their hearts.
However, soon after this, there was a uneasiness. The new heir was not born of the Great Two, but of another pair. The leaders were fine with this - yet the clan members would often complain of this Dragon, and most of the council was quite divided. After a enough thought, and frequent meetings, they decided to put the heir to test - by traveling to the Wind Flight. If she was disgusted by this place, or had no passion for it, then she would retire as an heir.
[I]As our Clan has not visited or tested her in the Plateau yet, more will be added as the time comes. We will vacation in the days of Early Spring. (Written in the few days of Winter Year 1.)[/i]

[size=4][b]Description:[/b][/size]
Located in a massive cave of the tallest mountain in the Southern Icefield, is where the lair resides. It is only a few yards from the ocean, and because of this many do not go out often. A lone Sakura tree grows near the cave, forever blooming into its pink petals, even in the coldest winter. Wind chimes and various pastel ribbons hang from the entrance, and the soft glow from the lanterns gives off a warm atmosphere. The Lair itself is actually not a cave, but large cavern that extends into many tunnels that branch off into smaller caves, where things from Dragon's personal lairs, gardens, to underwater tunnels thrive mysteriously.
The mountains behind them often shade and protect the Clan members from the harsh temperatures. Snowstorms are not usual to see - the most we may see is light snowflakes. It is also quite common for our members to walk out and see clear skies, even when on the other side is a fierce blizzard.
There is only one pathway leading to the entrance. It is a tunnel that leads out into the other side of the mountain, and it is quite small. Besides a few lanterns we lite at the beginning and the end of the passage, we do not often receive visitors. Fortunately, because of this, our Clan is highly safeguarded from danger, and we only have one scout active in the dawn and nightfall.

[columns][left][b][size=4]The Great Two[/b]
Instead of the normal Kings and Queens of many Clans, our Clan has two main rulers, and they are the highest ranking of Dragons in the Clan. [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?p=lair&id=236189&tab=dragon&did=21851889]Miyuki[/url] and [url=http://flightrising.com/rendern/avatars/238035/23803410.png?mtime=V0tTQAAATuo]Ryota[/url] are the Great Two and take a great responsibility to lead the Yuki Clan.
[Size=4][b]The Council[/b][/size]
The Council is a particular group of Dragons and Flight Representatives that are second in the rankings, below the leaders. They often have meetings once a month with the Great Two to decide what changes should be made within the Clan. They are still highly respected, yet not as much as the higher ranking, which makes the Dragons within the Council require jobs and roles to reside in the Clan.
[size=4][B]Rankings[/b][/size]
Rankings are used to determine who should be more respected and listened to within the Clan. Of course, it does not decide who will eat first, like wolves, but if you were to listen to a Artist or a Council member, you should listen to the Council member first.

[b]Hatching/Hatchlings:[/b]
Before a Dragon hatches, both parents are expected to wait beside the egg, so the newborn can form a bond with its birth parents. Then they are to stay with the hatchling for at least an hour, interacting with it and to give it a name. A day or two after hatching, the Dragon then has a choice to either become a soldier or join a new Clan.
Hatchlings are then taken care of by the caretaker until they are seven days and nights old. The parents are encouraged to visit their offspring frequently, and after they reach a certain age, are expected to teach their hatchling and show them around the cave. Of course, if a parent has no time to teach their offspring, Scholars teach them instead.
[b]Marriage:[/b]
After a Dragon reaches the age of fourteen days and nights (Adulthood), they are permitted to marry a Dragon. Marriage is agreed on by both of the parties, and they then stay together for life, unless one of them passes away.
Ceremonies are then issued right away or a few months after they have decided. A Priest/Priestess will normally join the two in marriage, then a large celebration is held. It normally lasts a day and night, and when it is over the Clan members help carve out the couple's own lair in the large cave system. After they are married, they are also permitted to have hatchlings.
[size=1][b]Exalting:[/b]
Dragons who decide to serve under the Icewarden as soldiers may ask the leaders for permission. It is a high honor and usually large ceremonies are held, either a day before he or she leaves, or on the same day. Friends and family give the Dragon(s) parting gifts, food, and many farewells. They then trek through the harsh cold of the Southern Icefield to the Icewarden's camp.[/size]
[b]Death & Burials:[/b]
When a Dragon passes away from sickness or old age, the Clan will mourn for that dragon for an entire week. Families or friends who knew the Dragon well will be helped by the other Clan members, giving them gifts and reminiscing on times. Hatchlings who fade away in their eggs are still mourned for, but the parents grieve for the offspring more than the Clan does.
Burials are held a few days after, and the Clan does not light the lanterns or candles that day. The body is put in a sheet and brought to the highest point of the mountain, where they are said that their soul is to ascend into the heavens. The snow buries the Dragon, so a burial into the ground is usually not needed.
[b]Warriors, Fighters, and Samurai[/b]
[i]Warriors[/i] - These Dragons are very strict about how they act, and are normally very wise. They are the highest ranking of the three, and will often be used to aid the Great Two when they travel to other Clans. Used for military purposes, such as soldiers or guards.
[i]Samurai[/i] - Strict, loyal, and disciplined. They follow the Great Two's every order, and often go out to train and meditate. Mostly used for military, gathering, traveling, and hunting purposes.
[i]Fighters[/i] - Free to act as they please, listen to the Great Two's orders and the Council's. Strictly used for hunting, gathering, and fighting. No military use.
[b]Time & Dates[/b]
The time an dates work differently than they do compared to the modern Dragon time. There are no months, only seasons, and not often do we use the term "weeks", but days and nights. The calendar works as shown below, and goes for all seasons:
Early Winter (End of November, December) Winter (January) Late Winter (Start of February). Each season is approximately ninety-five days and nights.
Weekdays (Sun - Sat):
?, Getsu, Ka, Sui, Moku, Kin, Do
[b]Festivals:[/b]
There are some traditional festivals that the Yuki Clan celebrates, as well as smaller holidays.
New Year's ([i]
[Size=2]Warming Weather[/size]
Summertime Gala
Bear-Branch Festival
[Size=2]Frozen ... [/size]
Elemental Festivals, like the Trickmurk Circus, are celebrated by hanging many decorations, eating food, and participating events/games that all relate to the holiday in some way. Mistral Jamboree and the Crystalline Gala are the most well-loved festivals, so this means that every dragon has to do something, minor or not, for the festival.

Traditions

|
Hatching/Hatchlings:
Before a Dragon hatches, both parents are expected to wait beside the egg, so the newborn can form a bond with its birth parents. Then they are to stay with the hatchling for at least an hour, interacting with it and to give it a name. A day or two after hatching, the Dragon then has a choice to either become a soldier or join a new Clan.
Hatchlings are then taken care of by the caretaker until they are seven days and nights old. The parents are encouraged to visit their offspring frequently, and after they reach a certain age, are expected to teach their hatchling and show them around the cave. Of course, if a parent has no time to teach their offspring, Scholars teach them instead.
Marriage:
After a Dragon reaches the age of fourteen days and nights (Adulthood), they are permitted to marry a Dragon. Marriage is agreed on by both of the parties, and they then stay together for life, unless one of them passes away.
Ceremonies are then issued right away or a few months after they have decided. A Priest/Priestess will normally join the two in marriage, then a large celebration is held. It normally lasts a day and night, and when it is over the Clan members help carve out the couple's own lair in the large cave system. After they are married, they are also permitted to have hatchlings.
Exalting:
Dragons who decide to serve under the Icewarden as soldiers may ask the leaders for permission. It is a high honor and usually large ceremonies are held, either a day before he or she leaves, or on the same day. Friends and family give the Dragon(s) parting gifts, food, and many farewells. They then trek through the harsh cold of the Southern Icefield to the Icewarden's camp.
Death & Burials:
When a Dragon passes away from sickness or old age, the Clan will mourn for that dragon for an entire week. Families or friends who knew the Dragon well will be helped by the other Clan members, giving them gifts and reminiscing on times. Hatchlings who fade away in their eggs are still mourned for, but the parents grieve for the offspring more than the Clan does.
Burials are held a few days after, and the Clan does not light the lanterns or candles that day. The body is put in a sheet and brought to the highest point of the mountain, where they are said that their soul is to ascend into the heavens. The snow buries the Dragon, so a burial into the ground is usually not needed.
Warriors, Fighters, and Samurai
Warriors - These Dragons are very strict about how they act, and are normally very wise. They are the highest ranking of the three, and will often be used to aid the Great Two when they travel to other Clans. Used for military purposes, such as soldiers or guards.
Samurai - Strict, loyal, and disciplined. They follow the Great Two's every order, and often go out to train and meditate. Mostly used for military, gathering, traveling, and hunting purposes.
Fighters - Free to act as they please, listen to the Great Two's orders and the Council's. Strictly used for hunting, gathering, and fighting. No military use.
Time & Dates
The time an dates work differently than they do compared to the modern Dragon time. There are no months, only seasons, and not often do we use the term "weeks", but days and nights. The calendar works as shown below, and goes for all seasons:
Early Winter (End of November, December) Winter (January) Late Winter (Start of February). Each season is approximately ninety-five days and nights.
Weekdays (Sun - Sat):
?, Getsu, Ka, Sui, Moku, Kin, Do
Festivals:
There are some traditional festivals that the Yuki Clan celebrates, as well as smaller holidays.
New Year's (
Warming Weather
Summertime Gala

[b]Is the clan spiritual and highly loyal to their deity? Are they indifferent?[/b]
Though our Clan seer, priestess, and samurai do have quite strong ties with the Icewarden and the Windsinger, and apart from sending Dragons to help the Icewarden and hold funerals/weddings, the Yuki Clan does not personally have spiritual relations with any deities, however we do thank them and acknowledge them.
[b]-Miyuki[/b]
[b]How does your clan view the Beastclans? Who handles Beastclan relations?[/b]
Errmm.. Well, the Clan doesn't personally [I]enjoy[/I] them. Our Dragons that go out to hunt are normally issued to attack them on sight, [I]especially[/I] Longnecks. They live in this area and everyone here cannot stand them, and with the war... [b]*shakes head*[/b] But besides them, there are a few of them we trade and are allied with - the Marens and the Centaurs. And who handles the relations? I do, actually! It's... not an easy job, as you could imagine...
[b]-Sayuri[/b]
[b]Are roles assigned to dragons when they are born/come into the clan, or do they choose their role?[/b]
It all depends on 'te Dragon, lass. Some know what they wan'ta be when they get here, others take a few months. 'Course, the leaders 'ull give them a certain amount of time 'fore they are forced to leave the Clan. 'Sounds harsh, 'ya know? Still, they can't slack off for too long, or they'll be lazy and kickin' 'te bucket before 'ya know it.
[b]-Kaede[/b]
[b]Does your clan specialize in anything?[/b]
Actually, it does! Minerals, gems, rocks, and lots of underground resources are second of the highest exports. The first being lanterns, ribbons, and traditional Wind (Japanese) items and decorations. And though it's not our main specialty, our fellow Artists do make painting, books, clothing, and ... other things... that we trade with our allies and trading partners. For example, I make some of the lanterns and various odd trinkets that Taiki sells. They're really nice actually...
[b]-Tenchi[/b]
[b]Does your clan have a territory? Or just the lair?[/b]
All of the area outside of the lair, since there's only one way to get in and out from that area, we decided to claim it. [b]*glare*[/b] Why? Are you... [I]attempting[/I] something? Hmm? ...Alright, fine, whatever you say. But we'll be watching you closely, stranger.
[b]-Rin[/b]
[b]Who hoards what? Do the dragons each have a personal hoard, or is there one big storage area?[/b]
Sssome Dragons do have their own persssonal items, [size=1]Though really, it's completely irrrritating...[/size] howwwever, the majority of apparrrel, materialsss, etc. is protected and stored in one big hoard that I guard from thievesss and disgusting ratsss... [size=1]"Guard" - pfft, sure. Close enough, eh...[/size]
[b]-Kazue[/b]
[b]What is the origin of your clan's name?[/b]
Miyuki chose the name of the Clan to be a part of her name, like how her own Clan is apart of herself. That, and "Yuki" also meaning snow, was the other reason she chose it.
[b]-Ryutsuki[/b]
[b]Which dragons are good friends within your clan? Any enemies? Best couple?[/b]
[b]*gasp*[/b] Ooh, we actually have some friend groups in our Clan! Although they're not really noticeable at first, you'll see it when you visit often. Enemies? Umm... none that I know of, anyway. Maybe some grudges, but... again, I've no idea! Anddd, best couple? Aww, I definitely have to say Tatsuo and Miyako! They're just soooo cute, and they've been together, for like, ever! They are wonderful Dragons. [b]*giggle*[/b]
[b]-Umiko[/b]
[b]What is your Clan's aesthetic?[/b]
A mix between the images show below! [size=1]((I don't own them.))[/size][center]

[b]-Kiku[/b]
[b]Does your clan decorate the lair at all? How so?[/b]
Ooh, dear, of [I]course[/I] the lair is decorated! Pastel lanterns hang from the cellings, ribbons, beautiful tapestries, and traditional Wind paintings are [I]everywhere[/I]! Oh, also silk... so much silk! It's very lively, even if it's a cave!
