intro here!

-tldr; i had trouble settling on just one clan, so i've created 'amnon', a region in the lightning flight's land that is ruled over by warring parties and numerous clans. additionally, i came up with the scions, 26 deities who bestow fragments of themselves onto others. anyone who wields a fragment is immortal.

-on alliances: you have four factions to pick from with regards to your alliances.

-the social structure of amnon: ruled by House Klauesson and their retainers/associates; everyone else is subordinate
The Rebellion is lead by house Katze and they're...the rebellion
The Scions are....Scions, they're gods, w/e
The Culainn are an all-female warrior group
and then you have the loners/assorted others, some of whom may be from other areas
as time progresses and i get things done, i may expand the amnon area a bit, we'll see

-i'll be making this thread pretty over time

Amnon is a rich place; minerals fill it and it is a paradise for the ones who dwell there. Intellect is prized, as is combat prowess. Once, Amnon was ruled by a [b]council[/b] of minds. Now, Amnon is ruled by [b]one house[/b]; the current ruler usurped her role through a momentary pivot. Her well-planned assassinations led her to power, though power comes at a cost. The capital of Amnon, where the noble house resides, is called [b]Caroon[/b]. Spiraling out from Caroon are towns and caveside networks, all of these providing homes for the residents there. A large lake borders Caroon, and those there have mastered the art of water filtration. Dark magic thrums under the surface; military might controls Amnon as a whole, even as fringe elements move against the Klauesson regime. The Empress will not be questioned, not when she has the power of gods on her side.[nextcol][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/static/cms/trinket/2050.png[/img] [img]https://www1.flightrising.com/static/cms/trinket/5917.png[/img] [img]https://www1.flightrising.com/static/cms/trinket/257.png[/img] [img]https://www1.flightrising.com/static/cms/trinket/254.png[/img][/columns]

I love forming lore connections with other players c: I don't really have requirements, per se! It's just worth noting that due to the way Amnon works + my lore works, it's sort of impossible to be allies with more than one group at once. Basically, if you want to be an ally, pick either the Scions, the Klauessons, the Culainn, or the Rebellion, or you can even choose to ally with some of the individual dragons, if you'd like to. Once I get alliances lined up, I'll add little blurbs about 'em. If you want, we can work out some stuff; I don't necessarily roleplay but I do like to write headcanons with other people! That's fun.
