----------------------
[b][u]General info[/u][/b]
Birds of Fae are a small, highly social migratory dragon species that originate from the windswept plateau, and are considered to be some of the strongest, swiftest and agile flyers on sornieth. They spend most of their time of the wing, only landing to drink, sleep or breed. When their insect food supplies dwindle and become scarce in the colder months, multiple flocks will gather together into great swarms, sometimes big enough to block out the sun, and will move on to other territories in their search for food and warmer weather. They follow the same migration routes to their destinations every year, but when the seasons change to spring and the weather begins to warm, Birds of Fae return to their windy homelands where their favoured nesting materials are found in plentiful supply, to breed and raise their young.
Most of these Fae resemble various species of birds of prey, hence the name, and in some rare cases other more colourful bird species, and are often mistaken to be birds when seen from a distance. Unfortunately for the ones resembling birds of prey, they are often targeted by territorial birds of prey defending their mates or their patch, or a hungry crow looking to snatch a meal because of their bird-like appearence.
The individuals that resemble other, more colourful bird species are very rare, and are often shunned, picked on or chased away from its flock by the plentiful bird of prey look-a-likes that make up the majority of the species. These dragons may go on to form small flocks of their own with fellow outcasts if they survive to become adults.
[b][u]The lost ones[/b][/u]
Very occasionally one may come across a Bird of Fae of a different element other than wind, but they are exceedingly rare. These are the offspring of dragons that have gotten blown off course and lost somewhere during their migration and were not able to find their way home in time to breed, so instead nested where they were if the conditions were favourable. Unfortunately, since they were not born in their native territory, Birds of Fae hatched in other elemental lands tend to be smaller and weaker and are seen as unsuitable mates in the eyes of their windborn kin.
Lost Birds of Fae are very likely to breed if they find themselves in these elemental territories:
- Nature
- Light
- Arcane
Less likely, but possible to breed in these terriroties:
- Lightning
- Earth
- Fire
- shadow
- Water
- Plague
Absolutely will not breed in these territories:
- Ice
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[b][u]species requirements[/u][/b]
Flight- Mainly wind. Birds of Fae of other elements are possible with the exception of Ice, but extremely rare. Birds of Fae of other elements are known as 'The lost ones.'
Breed- Fae
[b]
Genes:[/b]
Primary- Cherub
Secondary- Peregrine
Tertiary- Underbelly or glimmer
[b]Colours:[/b]
Colours have to match up exactly with the info posted in the variants section below to count as official members of this species. Anything else is classed as a legacy breeder and not an official Bird of Fae.
