Amongst this sea of merchants and carnies was a modest little pavilion, furnished simply with a table and three chairs. A sign just past its threshold read: [i]Shadow Wyrm Lore II. Come share your lore.[/i] [columns][img]https://i.imgur.com/KXj7U8P.png[/img][nextcol]Hello! My name is Librarian Casey of Clan Azurenight. It’s a pleasure to meet you! I’m so excited to hear all of your stories. What is that? You don’t know what this is? Oh! Oh, how silly of me. I got ahead of myself. Please allow me to explain. A while back my father, Dash, started a tradition of learning and recording other flights lore. Each festival he would set up his booth and welcome anyone in or of the celebrating flight to come share their stories. I’m here to continue in his footsteps, so I welcome any and all that would like to share their stories about the Shadow Flight. Please don’t be shy. This is so exciting! I'm looking forward to hearing from everyone. Oh, and there is no limit on how much you can write or share here ([i]so long as it pertains to the Shadow Flight in some way[/i]) so please feel free to convey your Lore however you see fit. Open discussion is welcome as well, just please be polite about it and follow the rules of the Flight Rising Forums. Shall we begin?

[center]Hello everyone, I just wanted to take a moment to let you know that after Wind festival Casey will be shutting down the shop. I do not know at this time if this will be indefinite. All I know is that right now I simply cannot keep up with it. I would also like to say thank you to everyone that has participated in the Wyrm Lore, I have enjoyed every moment of your remarkable stories. All of you are brilliant writers and I’m proud to have met with all of you! [emoji=butterfly 3]THANK YOU FOR BEING SO AWESOME![emoji=butterfly 3][/center]

@Azurenight Oh no! Imma gonna miss you and Casey! [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=42285133] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/422852/42285133_350.png[/img] [/url] Mieru here is my only Shadow dragon. Mieru is a Nightingale in my Horde's Brotherhood, the Mass that generally focuses on precision and stealth missions. A Nightingale is a Lieutenant of the Brotherhood. Mieru is what is called a Streak in the Brotherhood, spies/thieves/assassins that are specially trained to do the exact opposite of subtle. Streaks are trained to encourage chaos and to wreak havoc wherever they can. They are also known for their sabotage and skills with propaganda. But, in general, they are tasked with distracting people.

Oh no! I'm gonna miss this, it was my favorite thing about festivals </3 I don't think I have any dragons that are specifically Shadow themed to share. Sadness. I do have this [s]thief[/s] traveling salesdragon, though! I used the term "Shadow claw" in his lore to reference thievery and I felt lowkey proud of it xD His lore is in his bio! [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=45204893] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/452049/45204893_350.png[/img] [/url] I don't think I have anyone but him, though. Closest would be a goddess of the void (sorta) who takes and corrupts others, but I feel that's beyond the darkness of the Shadow flight. They seem like a bunch of dweebs who enjoy pranks and games more than anything :p

@Azurenight [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=48980188] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/489802/48980188_350.png[/img] [/url] The day had hardly begun when a light grey female wildclaw swept through the doors, followed closely by a hulking figure entirely shrouded by a sweeping cloak. The figure was big enough to be several adults of some mid size breed all bundled into a cloak, or one of the biggest imperials Casey had ever seen. The youthful wildclaw nodded to Casey before introducing herself. “Good morning, miss. It’s a pleasure to meet you. My name is Aria. I’ll be telling you about how I got to be living in Verglas Valley and what I do here. I used to live in Wispwillow Grove, and I came to Karaglen’s clan with a friend of mine, Scout. She was a merchant who traded with my clan, so we had talked a couple times before and we were pretty friendly. I was looking for a new place to settle and have a good adventure, so she took me with her when she left to go trade in Verglas Valley. Unfortunately, we arrived just as the creature started its attacks. Scout was killed on the way to the Point, and I was badly injured. In one of my dreams while I was healing, four necklaces fell to me out of a snowstorm. When I finally woke up, several days later, I had those same four necklaces clutched in my paw! I could feel the magical power in them, but I didn’t know what to use them for. The first day that I was up and about, I learned that the Point was being attacked by a crazed emperor, and I realised that I probably had to put the necklaces on the emperor. However, I was very weak and still in bad shape. I tried to rest as much as possible, but more dragons died every day that I didn’t put those necklaces on. I had no idea how to actually do that until the next day, when the emperor started attacking the Point directly. I realized I had my opportunity, so I hid above the barricaded doors and waited for the emperor to break through. When it did, I did the stupidest thing I’ll ever do in my whole life; I jumped onto the emperor's back. Luckily for me, the emperor’s heads couldn’t reach back to get me, but I was josled so much that I could hardly let go of the emperor’s mane. When I managed to get one necklace around its neck, the body of that imperial grew limp and dragged down the other three. Quickly, I fastened the other necklaces and then watched as the emperor slumped to the ground, as if it was asleep. I stumbled to the solid floor as my vision swam, as if I had been running in circles for too long. Before I knew what was happening, a snowstorm seemed to pick the emperor up and take it away. I don’t remember anything about the rest of the day. When I woke up the next day, a few of the remaining dragons from Karaglen’s clan had taken over the jobs of burying the dead, while the survivors who were not as familiar with the dragons who lived at the Point before us cleaned up the rubble and debris. We also cooked and cared for the dragons who were burying their friends and family. A few weeks later, the dragons who were kinda in charge, Komor and Esma, introduced us to the Magistrate of the North Valley, who they had chosen to govern and make some rules. Nobody had ever seen him before, but nobody argued anyway. Esma has lots of strange acquaintances, so we just assume they’re friends. He’s been good to us and is always very fair. All the ice dragons in the clan call him a proper southern gentleman, not that the likes of me would know what that means, being a stranger to the south and all. I’ll be heading outside to guard the entrance while you and the Magistrate talk, since I don’t want you to be spied on, but I see you have questions. What might they be?”

@Azurenight It's sad to see this shut down, but it's been a lot of fun to show off my dragons that I've worked hard on! Oh the dragons I have today, most are not actors, actresses, or singers (yet). Only two are, one a Kpop idol, the other is an actress. [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=19993942] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/199940/19993942_350.png[/img] [/url] This is the actress, Caoimhe. She has several roles under her belt at the moment, and she is taking a break from acting to relax. [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=14804165] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/148042/14804165_350.png[/img] [/url] This is Mingyu, a member of Kpop group Seventeen! He's dressed like this because it matches his colors and accent. XD. [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=31727717] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/317278/31727717_350.png[/img] [/url] [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=40435443] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/404355/40435443_350.png[/img] [/url] These two are Malus (the Guardian) and Lyorwyn (the Spiral). They are two of my regular dragons, no special roles at the moment~.

@Azurenight Sad days! It has been fun! ((I'd be willing to take on the torch for a test drive though, just to see how it is.)) I have three dragons to share today. [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=2391865] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/23919/2391865_350.png[/img] [/url] Ryzolli is this month's avatar. Ryzolli is one of the clan's elders but was not one of the original members of the clan from before they became Nomadic and found the Quarry. They met Ryzolli when the came southward into the forests. Ryzolli was a caravanneer who traded with them and supplied them with what they needed to drain the Quarry, in exchange for a cut of whatever profit they made from salvage. Ryzolli now handles most of the clan's finances as well as owning private caravans for trading. He is not well-liked by many of the Centauri or many of the dragons, but he does a good job. The Centauri call him Ald instead of Eld, essentially calling him a greedy old fool. [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=7365816] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/73659/7365816_350.png[/img] [/url] Fiero is a retiree in my clan. His mate, [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?p=lair&id=63130&tab=dragon&did=7211317]Kennie[/url], is a repentant war criminal, with the great assistance of Fiero. Fiero is a strong proponent of pacifism and despises physical confrontation, especially when it leads to violence. He convinced Kennie to take on this same mantle after she lost for the first time in thousands of battles. He cared for her and made her well, and they grew to like each other. Now, Fiero is pretty much the only reason Kennie believes she is alive for. He is simultaneously the only one she would keep the oath of pacifism for, as well as the only one she would break it for to protect. Kennie doesn't know who defeated her, and Fiero claims to not know either, but Kennie has always felt that he is hiding who it was from her. ((It could have been him all along! Muahahaha!)) [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=36339910] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/363400/36339910_350.png[/img] [/url] Silbern is the last Shadow dragon I have. Silbern is a Dreamer, a mage that is specially attuned to the world of dreams that inhabits his mind. As a Dreamer, Silbern has unusual clarity and control within his dreams, as well as the ability to interact with others as they sleep, to produce and take dreams from others, to observe the world around his sleeping body, and to interact with spirits that are typically only visible at this level of consciousness. Within his dreams, Silbern can define much of what reality is, altering his perception of time, alter the laws of physics, or simply dream within his own dream. It is essentially Inception for him, but he's just an explorer, not a thief. Silbern has pioneered, alongside [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?p=lair&id=63130&tab=dragon&did=25279987]Stein[/url], a method of instantaneous communication over huge distances without the need for massive telegram lines or huge amounts of magic, called an Ansible. It is a device that combines Silbern's ability to project his mind over a distance with Stein's connection to spiritual realms.

@Azurenight Aw, we'll miss you next month but I totally get why you want a break. Enjoy it! [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=35729888] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/357299/35729888_350.png[/img] [/url] I dunno if I've already introduced Glide, currently Rezmor's reborn daughter and acting advisor to the clan. She was actually dead for awhile but I can't decided how I want to have brought back. Or if I want her canonically Shadow or not. [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=44577318] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/445774/44577318_350.png[/img] [/url] I was like, you know what I need? A good Smirch dragon. And then I foudn Veysed and she's gorgeous. She's the singer to Hilronas' dancer and they both act for bathhouse, doing plays and entertainment basically. Them being SDs helps cause I can use the empathy to excuse why it only takes 2 to hold a successful play. [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=38934156] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/389342/38934156_350.png[/img] [/url] Manaza is still gorgeous and I added some more lore to him though it's more related to why he and his cult settled in the tower they did and why they got so extreme.

@Gula Hey there =) Wow, Mieru is a pretty dragon. I have never encountered a member of the subterfuge class being so boisterous. It makes a lot of sense though, especially for the distraction part of it. Tell me, has her desire to be noticed ever gotten her in trouble? Also, how does her Havok ability work? Is it something that just happens or does she have to activate it somehow? And did you just add those abilities? I can't remember seeing them before. And thank you [emoji=coatl happy] I'm going to miss you guys too.
