[size=5][b]Lore[/b][/size]
Near the sorrowful Pillar of the World, right in the oldest corners of Greatwyrm's Breach nests an ancient coatl species guarded by the towering sandstone serpents. This ancient and quite rare species calls themselves the ”desert diamonds”. Their name ”desert diamond” comes from their beautifully glittering gemstone-like appearance and usually sandy colors.
Desert diamonds have a relatively small but close-knit community, and they live side by side with their towering guards. Diamonds are very kind and wise species, but like all coatls they are fierce when it comes down to defending their home or each other. These beautiful dragons are noble and have an inner need of collecting lore and relics, espesially those that involve their beloved father, Earthshaker.
It is a common bedtime story for young hatchlings to tell how their father, Earthshaker, once decided to give life to three beautiful gemstones, one white as the snow, one pale brown as the desert sand and one as glimmering as the purest gold. These three gemstones took the forms of three coatls and became the first three purebloods. Earthshaker then took three shattered serpents from the ground, and gave them a new appearance. The serpents took a form of an imperial, a guardian and a ridgeback. Earthshaker then told the three serpents to accompany one of the newly born diamonds, telling them to keep them away from harm and protect them. The diamonds were now appointed with a quest to learn about the world, so that when the Earthshaker would need them, they'd be ready. Nobody can say for sure if the story is true, but atleast the hatclings smee to be eager to hear their origin story from time to time.

To certify a desert diamond, you need to check that he or she fits in the given requirements. After that, add the banner code below to your diamond's information.
I'd also appreciate if you'd ping me here when doing so, so that I can list your certified diamond here also. :)
