This Thread is Very Important and Relating

@catgame21234 I'm so sorry, I'm honestly not sure if your post is confirming or presenting evidence against mine. I'd love to discuss this though! Could you please explain your examples? For now I'll just assume it's contradictory evidence, and reply as best I can ^_^; [quote]I will create thousands of children, [b]thought the Windsinger,[/b] the air will be cleansed and painted in a plethora of colored brushes.[/quote] That's just Windsinger's name, there's no mention of a gender! [quote]The Earthshaker has existed here for time immemorial, both guarding and mourning the structure that once [b]held his brothers and sisters together.[/b][/quote] The "his" is in regards to Earthshaker. As for "brothers and sisters", the phrase still does not address Windsinger with any specific gender. Is Windsinger male? Female? Both? When addressing an entire group, there's unfortunately no way to tell. All the other deities had specific pronouns used for them throughout the lore (aside from Tidelord, but he's also called a drake, a term used for the other male gods so it's easy to assume he is male as well). The Windsinger is the only one that doesn't have a pronoun, a specific word such as drake, or any other terminology to state which gender they are. I'll be going through the deities forum posts next, just to see if they mention anything, but I just thought it was kind of interesting that the Windsinger is the only one that isn't specified! :D Also...

It was fun to speculate, though :)

Okay, on Windsinger gender(and all the other gods), lemme go grab that link again.

This also is the one that answers on if they have 'actual' children or not.

"Officially they do not have a sex, as they’re manifestations of the elements more than a physical being being that reproduces conventionally. They do have preferred pronouns though:

Male - Tidelord, Icewarden, Earthshaker, Windsinger, Arcanist, Stormcatcher
Female - Shadowbinder, Lightweaver, Flamecaller, Gladekeeper, Plaguebringer."

@Reilata
Thank you so much for the information! I would've never have thought to look at Tumblr. Well, there goes the "ambiguous gender Windsinger" theory, but I'm glad there's a source for all of the deity's pronouns!

It's possible that if the spiral wasn't Windsinger, then the mysterious spiral could've been a servant for him of sorts. Maybe they're the one who actually watches over the Wind flight since their deity is always off... who knows where?

[quote name="TyrianCallows" date="2018-03-09 06:38:26" ] ... I've been in wind for my entire time on this site. It's my home. And honestly? Not gonna lie? I got a bit emotional. Also all the lore books seem to be following the gifs from the last week or so [img]http://flightrising.com/dropbox/C153W25372.gif[/img] [/quote] that's a good point....

I mean, it's still canon that the gods don't actually have gender, just preferred pronouns, so I'm cool with that. Still gonna headcanon Windsinger as they/them though >:)
