Perhaps you know us. Perhaps you do not. Does it matter in the end?

What do you know? What do you fear?

We cannot help but wonder if you know about the disappearances. Hatchlings vanish without a trace, now and again. Adults fall into thin air, and are not seen afterwards. The shadows consume all. Mother consumes all.

You call us cultists; we call you fools. You do not understand that which you do not see, cannot touch or know as deeply as we do. You are nothing but a skimmer, a pathetic fish of the shallows, fit for nothing but sacrifice. Our sacrifice.

Do not be afraid; your death will go to an ultimate purpose. When we give you to the darkness, you will be used appropriately. Your body will fail, but it will rise again, midnight pooling in your eyes. You will be needed. You will be ours.

But I am too cryptic, am I not? Nyss is blunter than I. Nimbus is more useful than I. Itami is more perceptive than I. Myself, I am but a humble watcher, and I see all. You do not see me, but that does not matter in the great scheme of things. Nothing does.

We... We are a hive mind. There is no "I". We abolished it. We must not forget this. There is nothing more important than our collective self. The individual is weak.

May we tell you a legend of our clan? It is fragmented, yes, but it is there. Look, stranger. See. Tear us apart and understand, and we will let you in, part our bones and release the shadows within so that you might join us, become one with us.

We all gave in eventually.

Proper Behavior and Conduct


General Conduct
Dragons of the clan must be respectful of one another and especially of authority. They should not question orders, and willingly accept punishment if guilty of a crime. They must see their life as worthless compared to that of those above them, and allow themselves to be killed in battle if it benefits the clan. They are expected to have one or two friends within the clan. Friends must speak about safe topics, such as insulting the enemy or complimenting the others' battle skills. No dragon may brag or otherwise inflate themselves, or compliment any aspect of the enemy in a non-ironic manner. Battle stories are encouraged, especially if exaggerated.

Safe Topics
Safe topics of discussion include praising authority, battle stories, complimenting clan members, insulting the enemy, assessing a hatchling's future battle skills, discussing the daily routine, planning patrols, discussing the latest battle techniques, discussing familiars and their behaviors, discussing one's own job in a modest manner, insulting shamed dragons, discussing how to remedy and item or food shortages, and any other war-related topics. Also allowed are any mild discussions of hatchlings that do not include contraband topics, and anything not expressively contraband.

Contraband Topics
Anything praising the enemy, insulting the leader, discussing the harm of another clan member, discussing exalted dragons, planning a revolt or revolution, anything resembling unhappiness with the current state of the clan and of yourself, or anything even remotely illegal.

Discussing exalted dragons or planning the death of a clan member will result in arrest.

Reoni seems a little... strange. Anomalous, even; the clan had reason to lock her in a back room.

@Alliud

Can we be allies? My lore book is over here, if you want to read it. I'm still developing parts of my lore, but I have a decent grasp on it. You can also read my dragons bios, most of them have some kind of writing, others just have ideas in theirs, if you want to develop relationships between dragons.
