Flight Rising Discussion

[center][img]http://i.imgur.com/4PuXZXp.png[/img][/center] It's been hyped for over a month, and it's finally here - the battle of Earth vs. Light is live! (Well, tomorrow, a few hours from this actual post. :P) [b]Please note:[/b] While I try to be impartial at all times, this is a large battle to miss out on, so I will be personally participating. This means that I might be overwhelmed with notifications. If you need something in Dom Watch updated and I do not respond when you see me doing other things, [u]please ask me again[/u]. Private Messages will work better than pings if you think I've missed your initial request. Good luck to the pushing flights, and to all others, I hope you enjoy the profits! This is one of those rare periods where we have large consecutive battles - Arcane and Fire have their own preparations in full swing, with Ice preparing for their event push as well. Set your calendar to support them too. :) [b]Who's currently pushing?[/b] - Earth is conquest pushing. - Light is conquest pushing.

Flights are not required to announce their plans or decide in advance if they will push, so this list is not comprehensive or certain.

[u]Update:[/u] While acheronta sorts out personal matters, please contact the current Dom Watch thread poster instead for pushes or reservations! The Dom Watch helpers will be posting in the interim. Dom Watch is a Dominance discussion thread, so we will only advertise threads that are very specifically Dominance-related in the OP. These include, but are not limited to: Dominance raffles, fodder buys, art for fodder threads. The only exception is during elemental holidays, where we will also advertise the flight's event hub. Advertising other things (such as mercenary threads and personal raffles) are totally fine to do in the thread, but please take care not to overwhelm the discussion! Thanks everyone and have fun Dom Watching!

But what’s an adventurer without an adventure? Lindy’s not one to sit around for too long, so when a Longneck ambassador named Basil showed up with an outlandish story about a crystalline illness, a magical relic gone wrong, and a demand for the dragons of Sornieth to fix it, there was no way she could pass up the opportunity!

An ambassador from Dragonhome. He’s… rather insistent. And he’s shedding all over the museum.” “Oh! Not a dragon, then?” Lindy laughed. “I doubt it’s as bad as all that. Send him in, let’s see what he’s got for us!”[/size][/columns] [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/ncDPIei.png[/img][/center] [columns][size=3]Lindy frowned thoughtfully at the Longneck seated across the table. “You found what?” “We don’t know, that’s why I’m here,” the ambassador, Basil, said in his heavy Beastclan accent, “The expeditions we’ve sent into the tunnels have encountered… problems. Both parties were attacked by wildlife, and one of the survivors reported crystals growing out of the hides of their attackers. Our mages suspect there’s a magical source, but we haven’t been able to get close enough to determine what it is.” Lindy pondered that for a moment. “Why are you sending expeditions into the tunnels?” “That is our own concern,” Basil answered curtly, folding his arms across his chest. “Whatever the dragons have done, this magic is out of control. If they want to turn their own hides to crystal and gemstones, that is not our concern. We couldn’t care less what they do to themselves. But spreading that contagion to the rest of us is too far, and it needs to be stopped.”[/size][nextcol][center][color=transparent]o[/color][img]https://i.imgur.com/xcNn7oh.png[/img][/center][/columns] [columns][img]https://i.imgur.com/kWLo8wu.png[/img][color=transparent]o[/color][nextcol][size=3]“I must admit, I’d love to see what the mountains in Dragonhome hold,” Lindy couldn’t quite keep the excitement from her voice, even with Basil’s dire news. “We can get a team…” Basil interrupted. “No dragons. We will not allow them into our home, not after all of the attacks. We are barely at peace as it is. It was hard enough convincing the rest of my clan to let me try enlisting you, rather than taking this into our own hands. Besides, we couldn’t fit most of your dragons friends into our tunnels if we tried. Our own team will be lucky to fit through some of the tighter spots.” An expedition into the heart of Dragonhome? The chance to delve deep into Beastclan territory to uncover a potential archaeological treasure? Lindy considered the offer for less than a second. Lindy gave Basil a glowing smile. “We’ll take the job. I’ll get my team, and we’ll meet you in Dragonhome!” Basil sighed, “That’s not what we call... fine. We’ll meet in Dragonhome.”[/size][/columns] [right][url=http://www1.flightrising.com/forums/frd/2333311#post_30735352][b]Click here for the rest of the story![/b][/url][/right][/quote] [quote][columns][img]https://i.imgur.com/nA6pB9z.png[/img][nextcol][color=#99544d][b][size=5]Hey, Light Flight![/b][/color] [size=4]Information in this post is directed toward people in all the other flights.
