I've seen a lot of lore threads around, and I wanted to try something different, since I'm revamping some of my old lore.

So basically, this is an interactive lore thread. I'll be posting clan lore and stories written from various dragon's perspectives, but if you want to write something here, go ahead! Just keep it within the Library, please. I'll be posting a library map or two once I get my Wacom working again.
Table of Contents
-none so far-
Library Grounds
-Will add map-

The Library is a large, castle-like building with an extensive garden surrounding it. A large, iron wrought gate blocks the entrance into the rest of the realm.
Inside, the walls and bookshelves are made with a dark oak wood, and are filled to the brim with books containing all kinds of knowledge from multiple worlds. There are plenty of reading nooks and inhabitants to talk to.
The Bakery is a room located near the front of the library, although like everything else here it's easy to find elsewhere. Inside it is usually bustling with activity, and is run by Khajit, September, Jaehee, and Elyndora.

He was familiar with what plants did, sure, but not what they meant. That wasn't his job. "It's official meaning is; 'my best days fled.'" They stared at it longingly, as if they could see something in the midst of the glowing white petals. Perhaps they could, that was the kind of world they lived in now, after all. Their claws shook, and with a move so sudden it startled Taryn, they crumpled it. Their eyes flashed towards Taryn, and he trembled under its suddenly piercing glare. "I suppose I don't have to explain?" Taryn shook his head. A soft smile appeared on Dewdrop's face. "Good." They turned back to their flowers, and listened as Taryn's footsteps disappeared. It sounded like he might be in a hurry. Good. Dewdrop's gaze flickered towards a single anemone. And they smiled.

Dream Flowers

The gardens at night were truly a gorgeous sight. Moonflowers craned their heads to catch the moon's glow, glowing white in the pale moonlight. The stones that made up the pathways glittered with starlight. Days and nights were uneven here, but even so, this place was beautiful.

Dewdrop made their way through the peaceful gardens, checking each plant diligently. It was up to anyone's guess how they knew whether or not a plant was flourishing, as many of the flowers and herbs did not come from their own world. All of their attention was focused on the garden, even as visitors flickered in and out of the pathways.

"Dewdrop."

Without even looking up, Dewdrop knew Taryn was there, standing next to them. They did not speak, simply nodding their head before continuing to trim the white roses in front of them.

"Do you have the herbs I needed?"

Dewdrop nodded again, before reaching into their bag and withdrawing a clump of herbs tied with a piece of twine. They gently handed it to Taryn.

The Wildclaw loitered a bit, staring off in the distance, watching one of the visitors. The visitor was human, staring around transfixed at the glittering gardens around her. She took a hesitant step forward, gently cupping one of the flowers and staring down at it in wonder. When Taryn glanced back at Dewdrop, they were watching her too.

Good.

Dewdrop's gaze flickered towards a single anemone.





And they smiled.
