Will the FR lore be expanded one day? is there some very mysterious events planned in the future that could add some fun to the game? Because some action is always fun :)
[quote]What was the first breed to be designed?[/quote]
The first to actually make it into the final game is probably the Fae dragon breed. Fae, Guardian, Mirror, and Tundra were all designed within a short time frame!

[quote]Where in Sornieth can you find the best glitter? My lair needs some for their local alter to Lightweaver.[/quote]
The thin metal sheets required in the manufacture of the glitter would likely come from the Ashfall Waste. The craftsdragons who painted it and turn those sheets into glitter could come from anywhere. [i][size=2]Though by "anywhere" we of course mean Sunbeam Ruins...[/size][/i]

[quote]I get Skink, but what was the gene Spinner named for?[/quote]
The tail lines of the body gene reminded us strongly of skinks. Spinner is a ball python morph, though the spinner wings look nothing like the morph pattern! Spinner sounded better than "Skink Wings" or "Spotty Stripey".

[quote]Why are all the hunting food items so tiny? They're all birds, rodents or small reptiles which I'm assuming are about the same size they are in our world. But our dragons are HUGE! How come they aren't bringing home prey more their sized like deer or even elephants![/quote]
A dragon clan consumes an impressive quantity of food each day. To keep their territories healthy, many will diversify in the types of prey they hunt and flora they harvest. Less experienced clan members will contribute to the daily gather by searching out smaller food items to add to the stock piles. Only the most skilled hunters will go after larger prey.

[quote]How long (roughly) do genes take to make and release from start to finish? Obviously the art team isn't working on genes 24/7, but how does the whole process go about?[/quote]
The process is definitely starting to turn into a well-oiled machine now that we have improved our methods of creating colorations of each gene (like in the case of the color wheel expansion), but the design of genes still varies, especially depending on their complexity.

[quote]Will the FR lore be expanded one day?[/quote]
Yep! We are planning to continue to expand and supplement [i]Flight Rising[/i]'s lore through content and storytelling over the course of time.
[br][br]
[quote]Will Imperial scrolls ever be available again? Like maybe be put in the Gem Marketplace?[/quote]
[b]No, these retired items are exclusive to our Kickstarter[/b]; however, it's still possible to breed the offspring of imperial dragons to produce more imperials.
[br][br]
[quote]Could I make clay versions of all the deities and keep them as opposed to selling them? [/quote]
Absolutely!

[quote]With the recent item icons getting their artwork re-made, what are the chances of some of the older apparel items also getting re-made artwork?[/quote]
It's certainly a possibility, though apparel revamps are a bit more complex as there's more artwork involved, and it directly affects a player's dragon looks if they have the item equipped. That being said, a lot of our older apparel does stick out and doesn't quite match the style of the dragons, so it appears less like one cohesive illustration when applied.

[quote]Are Coatls the only dragons with split tongue? :)[/quote]
Nocturne also have a forked tongue!

I've noticed that Dryads, Serthis, Centaurs, Maren, and Harpies all have human-like characteristics and body structures (or some amount of it) while Tengu, Mith, Aviar, Raptorik, and Longnecks, all have more bestial appliances with more anthropomorphic characteristics...
Is this a case of Second Age human descendants that were affected by the magical reactor explosion that created the Arcanist? Or were they always there?

If Imperials will never return, why are they a Limited breed, and not Rare? If we ignore the breeding cooldown, they apply to the Rare category far better than even Wildclaws, as gen 1 Imps are basically impossible to make now, and no new Imps are being made any more (only bred). Nocturnes are rare, yet they're very plentiful on site and return every year. Will they eventually stop returning, or will you invent new ways to make their eggs and scrolls harder and harder to achieve, so as to keep their value?
In short, I guess I have two questions here
1: If Imperials will never return, why are they a Limited breed, and not Rare?
2: Will Nocturnes eventually stop returning, or will you invent new ways to make their eggs and scrolls harder and harder to achieve, so as to keep their value?

If a dragon were to, say, decide to forsake the deities and pledge their loyalty to the Shade, would the deities intervene or would that be the responsibility of that dragon's clan?

"Spotty Stripey" would be the greatest gene name!!

How long had the idea of Flighy Rising been planned and thought out before the Alpha version was implemented?

Will there ever be a chance to get apparel artwork changed to match properly in sets? ie; the Mysterious Mantle and Mysterious Cowl being two entirely different colours and shading.
