WIND CLAN
TRANQUIL CROSSWINDS

~~~~~~~~

I N T R O

A breezy place travelers pass through frequently known formally as 'Tranquil Crosswinds,' this clan is simply the Clan of the Crosswinds when discussing among themselves. Settled onto a cluster of plateaus on the northeast side of the Reedcleft Ascent, these dragons are always extremely welcoming to visitors. If you need somewhere safe and warm to stay, you're more than welcome to lay down a while. Sakura and her Crosswinds will take good care of you here.

Welcome to our little lore thread! I'm adding things as I go, but man, I only barely know what I'm doing. Comments encouraged!!

The main city is centered on a set of Reedclefts that seem to have fused, one larger one and three smaller ones, creating a sort of circular stair-step oceanside plateau. The rest of the territory spans a handful of other small plateaus surrounding the city's in the north, south and west, and a few Imperial-lengths out into the water to the east. The northern parts of the territory are contested by Harpies and Talonok who are insistent on pushing the clan's hunting grounds back. While there are no physical barriers on the furthest reaches of the territory, there are scent markers left by patrols, plus the patrolling dragons themselves. If you aren't confronted immediately, you can be certain you’re being watched--the clan isn't hostile, but they are cautious. The inner reaches of the territory are more visibly defended with larger patrols, but there are no outer walls--theyre simply not that large of a clan yet, nor are they a clan which holds high amounts of political sway.

WIND CLAN
TRANQUIL CROSSWINDS

["...And this is our lovely city."]

~~~~~~~~

T E R R I T O R Y

The Clan of the Crosswinds sits on the northeastern border of the Windswept Plateau, atop the Reedclefts south of the Sea of a Thousand Currents. The main city is centered on a set of Reedclefts that seem to have fused, one larger one and three smaller ones, creating a sort of circular stair-step oceanside plateau. The rest of the territory spans a handful of other small plateaus surrounding the city's in the north, south and west, and a few Imperial-lengths out into the water to the east. The northern parts of the territory are contested by Harpies and Talonok who are insistent on pushing the clan's hunting grounds back.

While there are no physical barriers on the furthest reaches of the territory, there are scent markers left by patrols, plus the patrolling dragons themselves. If you aren't confronted immediately, you can be certain you’re being watched--the clan isn't hostile, but they are cautious. The inner reaches of the territory are more visibly defended with larger patrols, but there are no outer walls--theyre simply not that large of a clan yet, nor are they a clan which holds high amounts of political sway.

~~~~~~

~~~~~~~~

L O C A T I O N S

-:Residential District:-

In the southern part of the city on the lowest plateau is the residential district. Here is where the bulk of the permanent population stays. Their houses are modest, but large enough to comfortably fit two or three of the species it was built for. It’s a tight-knit area, but the houses aren’t packed together, and each one has roughly the same aesthetic of white stucco walls and exposed-rafter ceilings.

The clan’s progenitor and her most trusted friends live on the same plateau, but they’re to the north, tucked against the bases of the cliffsides formed by the taller three plateaus.

Found closer to the rest of the houses is a nursery, though dragons always have the option of raising a nest at home.

The center of this plateau is relatively empty, used as a multi-purpose clearing for training or hanging out. (Despite being the center of everything, it’s a fairly common date spot. ♥)

-:Lodging District:-

Above the main residential district on a smaller plateau is the lodging district. It’s smaller, less personalized and more tightly packed, but no less homely. The building styles are exactly the same, though more uniform. This is where travelling dragons will stay if they'll be in the clan for a month or more before leaving.

-:Market District:-

There are buildings on the far eastern side of the city, on the plateau above the lodging district. Many are simple shops, but not all of them quite fit that discription, though they still function as places of business. Among the market district is:

A jewelry shop run by Incognito
A clothing/fabrics store run by Kallistrate
A rival clothing/fabrics store run by Nereus
A potion shop run by Adil
A graveyard + morgue tended by Jersey
A medical center run by Ruriske and her apprentice Pipsqueak
An electronics workshop run by Hermes and Sani
A smithy run by Kaveh
A tavern/inn run by Anthea and Ent
The treasury, guarded primarily by Aeneas

^{(more tba)}

-:Hightop:-

On the highest plateau (which is aptly named "Hightop") sits a massive building, and at first glance it often appears to be the most important… but it’s just a tea and flower shop. It’s run by Abreu--an Imperial--so of course it needs to be big. Half the building has floor-to-ceiling windows to serve both display and greenhouse functions. Centered on Hightop is a pond, and a little bit of personal farmland sits tucked between the shop and the edge of the plateau.

-:Daedalus' Dive:-
On the southeastern part of the city's span is a massive wood-and-stone platform extending off the cliffside. ~~(Think ARK: Survival Evolved cliff platforms in appearance.)~~ Here is where dragons usually arrive and leave, given ample space for a running liftoff and room to gather themselves as they land. Here is also where a young Nocturne hatchling would run to leap and dive off the edge to the water below, just for the thrill of it, before he even knew how to fly. Once he grew older, a running joke in the clan became the official name for the platform--this is Daedalus' Dive.

-:Beryl's Laboratory:-

A small chunk of land splits off from the rest of the plateau, forming a sort of oblong "mini-plateau" to the northwest, just big enough for an Imperial-sized laboratory. Here, Beryl does the bulk of her studies--if she isn't doing her work out on the field, that is. Nobody really knows what she does behind closed doors, but given her good nature, it's safe to assume it's nothing malicious.

-:House Acrux:-
On the southern outskirts of the clan's territory sits a cozy home, nestled into a clearing in a thick bamboo forest. It's a modest little place, big enough to house a handful of dragons and sporting a small courtyard and pond. At a glance, it's really not something that would draw attention. In it lives Zibiah, currently alone; a deal with Sakura allowed her to stay in clan territory as long as she didn't stir up any trouble. She's a Blood Moon Dancer, and a Head of House at that, and she's currently laying low as she tries to build her family back up. Perhaps you can go say hello?

WIND CLAN
TRANQUIL CROSSWINDS

~~~~~~~~

H I S T O R Y

Born and raised on the Windswept Plateau, Sakura is adventurous and kind at heart. Wanting to meet other dragons and meet new friends, she set out from her home clan to wander Windsinger's vast territory. Border to border, land and sky, Sakura roamed carefree on her own for years, and in that time she met many new dragons and made many new friends (and enemies, somehow!) but before long, she longed to settle down and the cluster of dragons who roamed with her grew weary of constant travel, and so they all found a cozy place within the cliffsides of the Reedcleft ascent, overlooking the Sea of a Thousand Currents. Over time, her cluster of dragons grew--before she knew it, Sakura had a clan to take care of. She dubbed the clan formally Tranquil Crosswinds, where dragons of all walks of life would have a safe place to settle in for as long as they needed.

~~~~~~

E V E N T S

3/14/2019 - Ryaff forcefully changed Sakura from a Tundra to a Wildclaw using a scroll stolen from a mage in the Starfall Isles. She pardoned him for reasons unknown to the public and he did not receive punishment.
7/9/2019 - Wendigo's name changed to Jersey upon realization of it being not that great to use Wendigo as a name. Thanks for opening my eyes to the issue, FR!

That is, do not kill. Do not steal. Do not force a dragon into a nest. Do no harm. Don't be mean, because you [i]will[/i] regret every moment of it. Justice is as fair as a small clan can make it: an eye for an eye. If you are proven guilty of a violent crime, that crime shall be returned upon you. If you steal, you owe something of equal value, and so on and so forth. There are situation exceptions, and there are times where vengeful clanmates will enact justice themselves as they see fit. Sometimes this can be worse than the original crime, but there's a decent chance the higher-ups will turn a blind eye. In local terms, this is called ‘threefold justice.’ “If you hurt her, I’ll hurt you three times worse.” Etc etc. (Sakura has to oversee murder cases on the rare event it happens. She gets sick every time, and often grows paranoid around the executioner for a while. It’s kinda brutal.) ------ Technology wise, the clan’s somewhere between traditional and modern. The buildings have running drinking/cooking water and electricity, but there are no true restrooms. The comforts of a dragon’s private quarters include beds comparable to a human’s are, but scaled up to match a dragon's size and with more pillows and blankets than any sane human being would ever own. While not a warring clan, the Crosswinds is cautious and well prepared. There is a small ‘army’ of mostly Wildclaws, trained by [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?p=lair&tab=dragon&id=339792&did=50352072]Leonidas [/url]and sometimes [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?p=lair&tab=dragon&id=339792&did=36158783]Ryaff[/url], who’s purpose is to defend first and foremost. They’re small in numbers, but they’re powerful, trained to Eliminate as needed. There are several watchtowers in the territory, none directly on the main city’s plateaus but scattered across a few surrounding ones that are less populated. Each is equipped with a loud horn in case of invasion, and manned with no less than three soldiers at a given time. If not directly serving the Windsinger, this is often a place exaltees go. [nextcol] [color=transparent]~~~~~~[/color] [/columns] [columns] [color=transparent]~~~~~~~~[/color] [nextcol] [FONT=Book Antiqua][b] F A C T I O N S [/b][/FONT] Everybody has a home here at the Crosswinds. [i]Everybody[/i]. [b]-:Assassin's Guild - Featherbane:-[/b] [center][img]https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/521401890345451522/596761130010148894/featherbanelarge.png[/img] [/center] Right under Sakura's nose, or so it seems, an assassin's guild thrives. Led by Ryaff, eyes are everywhere. Nowhere is safe. The guild's symbolism includes eyes, birds, and feathers. The heart of the guild and any large out-of-clan outposts and dens are usually referred to as [i]Nests[/i]. Following the theme, new recruits are dubbed [i]Fledglings[/i], while members who have been in the guild for a few years are simply [i]Talons[/i]. Scouts and informants, who are sent to gather information on or sometimes simply monitor a target, are called [i]Eyewings [/i]or simply [i]Wings[/i], and the highest ranking and most dangerous assassins are called [i]Omens[/i], all named for Ryaff's familiar, a Slight Eyewing named Omen. Ryaff himself takes the leadership position, of course, and is called the [i]kingpin[/i] (or, rarely, [i]Head Omen[/i]) by the rest of the guild. Though the guild has no formal name, those who know of them simply refer to the guild as a whole as Featherbane.

WIND CLAN
TRANQUIL CROSSWINDS

~~~~~~~~

L A W S & L I F E S T Y L E

The rules among the clan are simple:

Don't be mean.

That is, do not kill. Do not steal. Do not force a dragon into a nest. Do no harm.

Don't be mean, because you will regret every moment of it.

Justice is as fair as a small clan can make it: an eye for an eye. If you are proven guilty of a violent crime, that crime shall be returned upon you. If you steal, you owe something of equal value, and so on and so forth. There are situation exceptions, and there are times where vengeful clanmates will enact justice themselves as they see fit. Sometimes this can be worse than the original crime, but there's a decent chance the higher-ups will turn a blind eye. In local terms, this is called ‘threefold justice.’ “If you hurt her, I’ll hurt you three times worse.” Etc etc.

(Sakura has to oversee murder cases on the rare event it happens. She gets sick every time, and often grows paranoid around the executioner for a while. It’s kinda brutal.)

Technology wise, the clan’s somewhere between traditional and modern. The buildings have running drinking/cooking water and electricity, but there are no true restrooms. The comforts of a dragon’s private quarters include beds comparable to a human’s are, but scaled up to match a dragon's size and with more pillows and blankets than any sane human being would ever own.

While not a warring clan, the Crosswinds is cautious and well prepared. There is a small ‘army’ of mostly Wildclaws, trained by Leonidas and sometimes Ryaff, who’s purpose is to defend first and foremost. They’re small in numbers, but they’re powerful, trained to Eliminate as needed. There are several watchtowers in the territory, none directly on the main city’s plateaus but scattered across a few surrounding ones that are less populated. Each is equipped with a loud horn in case of invasion, and manned with no less than three soldiers at a given time. If not directly serving the Windsinger, this is often a place exaltees go.

~~~~~~

~~~~~~~~

F A C T I O N S

Everybody has a home here at the Crosswinds.

Everybody.

-:Assassin's Guild - Featherbane:-

Right under Sakura's nose, or so it seems, an assassin's guild thrives. Led by Ryaff, eyes are everywhere. Nowhere is safe.

The guild's symbolism includes eyes, birds, and feathers. The heart of the guild and any large out-of-clan outposts and dens are usually referred to as Nests. Following the theme, new recruits are dubbed Fledglings, while members who have been in the guild for a few years are simply Talons. Scouts and informants, who are sent to gather information on or sometimes simply monitor a target, are called Eyewings or simply Wings, and the highest ranking and most dangerous assassins are called Omens, all named for Ryaff's familiar, a Slight Eyewing named Omen. Ryaff himself takes the leadership position, of course, and is called the kingpin (or, rarely, Head Omen) by the rest of the guild. Though the guild has no formal name, those who know of them simply refer to the guild as a whole as Featherbane.

^{This is Omen. She lives up to her name.}

The following dragons are confirmed to be in some way affiliated Featherbane.

Ryaff - Kingpin

Marrow - Omen

Darby - Talon - Omen in Training

Panama - relationship unknown

Ruriske - relationship unknown

Rosario - Talon - Blood Moon Dancer

Arevik - Talon

Zibiah - Eyewing - Blood Moon Dancer

Leshen - Talon

Ilya - Talon

Ryaff is always looking for new Fledglings to work their keep here with Featherbane. Do you have an assassin looking to prove their worth? You're welcome to seek him out with a personal message and perhaps you'll find yourself up on the roster.

^{Simply place the above icon in the dragon's bio somewhere, linking back to this post, and DM me the dragon you want added to the roster.}

-:Soldiers:-

Every clan needs someone responsible for bringing in food and defending the clan, and in the Crosswinds both jobs fall on the same group. While some dragon's official titles vary by specialty, each of them are fighters who bring food back from their excursions.

Ryaff - Soldier/Gladiator/Assassin

Balrog - Escort Guard

Panama - Fisher/Ex-Soldier

Leonidas - Soldier

Minali - Fisher/Guard

Bengal - Soldier

Arevik - Soldier/Assassin

-:Artisans:-

There's lots of love for the creative types too! Don't be fooled by the more aggressive roles. If a dragon makes something, they get treated as part of the artistic family.

Vrael - Dancer

Vasyl - Tattoo Artist

Incognito - Jeweler/Dancer

Kallistrate - Tailor

Adil - Potionmaster

Daedalus - Cartographer _(Student)

Abreu - Gardener/Botanist/Tea Maker

Nereus - Tailor

Kallah - Painter

Rosario - Dancer _{(Blood Moon Dancer)}

Zibiah - Dancer _{(Blood Moon Dancer)}

Kaveh - Metalworker

Honey - Confectioner

Ayaka - Gardener/Tea Maker _(Student)

-:Scientists:-

These dragons are always learning about something.

Sastrugi - Historian

Hermes - Technopath/Engineer

Adil - Potion Alchemy

Abreu - Botanist

Beryl - Sociologist

Pipsqueak - Medical Sciences _(Student)

Sani - Engineer

Ayaka - Botanist _(Student)

Dendrobates - Geologist/Lab Assistant

-:Pantheon:-

Something about these dragons seems to be... not quite mortal.

Jokull - Minor Water Deity

Entity - Minor Celestial Deity

Ketamine - God of Dreams

Abasis - God of War, Wrath and Fire

-:Biology:-

- The various misadventures of dragons in puberty.

-Scales are completely clear; markings are on the skin. The scales just work as a protective coating in most cases.

-On furred and feathered dragons, markings are much like that of a shaved tiger in that the patterns show both on the fur/feathers and on the skin.

-In the case of extreme negative emotions from a life event going on, a Pearlcatcher has zero control over the memories dripping from them as black pearl mucus. This sometimes leads to them vomiting black mucus from witnessing something horrible and frightful, or being so angry over something that black drips from their maw even as they speak. It happens more with some dragons than others; some are able to control it until they get somewhere private. Sometimes not, and then they do it all over again when the memory they suppressed resurfaces.

- Dragons have heat/rut cycles of varying intensity and frequency (based loosely on breeding cooldown periods). AFAB dragons can have heats, AMAB dragons can have ruts, and intersex dragons vary on a case by case basis. Rut tends to be triggered by a nearby dragon in heat. Examples:

~For Ancient breeds, who are more primal and feral in nature, it's particularly intense.
~Bogsneaks are a special case in their regular irregularity; being of artificial origin, a Bogsneak has a cycle so irregular that one heat/rut may last only a few days but the next may last an entire month.
~Wildclaws, having a canonically combat-based society, have particularly violent ruts and will fight to the death over a heated dragon if neither party backs down.
~Imperial stags in rut will lock horns when they fight and leave a lot of territory markers around their dens and personal 'territory,' including but not limited to scent marking and scraped-up patches on trees--or on anything they can sink their antlers and claws into if trees arent in the area.

-Tundras and Gaolers are mammalian, laying eggs but rearing 'pups' on milk in the first stages of life.

-Mirrors are quite like hyenas and will cackle/laugh as a large part of their nonverbal vocalizations.

-Eggs are smooth and plain for the first few day after laying, and then over the course of a few days the magic of the reigning deity seeps into the developing egg and gives it its flight-specific appearance.

Hiya, fellow Windie here! I absolutely love the lore you've created and how well thought out it is! My own clan is pretty medieval but in my clan bio I have some basic (aka terrible) lore/headcanons and such about them and I was hoping maybe they could be an ally to you! Also all the dragons on my first page in my first tab have lore so feel free to check them out and get a feel for what the clan is like!
