A Comprehensive Guide to the Eleven's Oldest Enemy
- - - - -

Hello! Welcome to my slightly-tweaked 100-Hatchling
challenge! A lot of my lair's lore revolves around the
collection, cataloging and study of all things regarding
the Shade. Galaxy, my "matron mother" of this challenge,
has taken this quest quite seriously, and she has
endeavored to imbue her children with some of her passion
for this cause, and with their help, gather information
from all corners of Sornieth.

Galaxy will only take other "gods-children" (Gen1s) as mates. Each clan she visits, or leaves a child with, must have a tidbit of lore about the Shade for her to collect and add to the Library. (This may be three sentences or three pages, all information is power! ;] ) Host clans (stud muffins) may claim either one child free of charge or a 25% split-profit from the offspring sales. Offspring will all be given art and some small lore, and will be sold, auctioned, or perhaped raffled if there is enough interest.
Currently: RTB, 2nd mate needed

Clerical edits by Nyx. Cataloged as low-impact. [size=2] The Icewing clan is relatively inexperienced in shade related matters, and have suffered little direct contact.

@Whimzica This is such a neat idea! Do you do lore collabs? Or maybe I'll just buy a hatchling...

Aah! I find this rather exciting as I've just started doing lore and one of my favourite dragons is shade-touched, but not in the way I've seen most people do it (Possession, dark powers, cursed). So the topic is pretty interesting to me. I like to think he encounters other shade-touched dragons or dragons that have experienced the shade and they would share their experiences.

@MurkyDepths
Ah! Thankyou so much! This project has been tumbling around in my head a while and I'm glad to finally start getting it in motion. :>

I wont be doing lore-trades per se in regards to this challenge, unless one of her future mate's owners wants to get in on the action and do some lengthier offspring bios haha. However, Galaxy's firstborn child will be staying in my lair (until the end of the challenge, while Galaxy travels), to greet and exchange info with other "travelers" wishing to donate their knowledge to the library with no other obligations. :D

So essentially, even if you have no interest in a child, a person will be more than welcome to add their own head cannons to the books.

Havent set that bit up yet as I'm still working on how I want to display the info gathered. Definitely know I'll have sections for clans to send in things they regard as "Fact", "Superstition", and perhaps a section for "Legends", or lengthier story-type entries.

@Whimzica It's a cool challenge! I like your set up, though my dragon isn't exactly likely to travel as he's stuck in some woods. I'll be quite interested to read the library when it's put together! If you want to check out my shade-touched dragon, It's Olivver on the first page. I tend to do my lore as stories or short descriptions of the dragon. Do you have lore-heavy dragons, anything written out I can check out? >u>

@MurkyDepths
He is pretty interesting, I really enjoyed his backstory!
(Also, what? WHAT? Copper hypnotic looks amazing. I intensely dislike that gene usually but hot dayum, son.)

The shade tidbits are spread throughout my lair, as most of my clan have differing opinions on It (and also that I am not a strong writer haha). Nyx however, was the start of the idea, Thelemic tries to sabotage the library project, and Jester is the heart of it all.

I have others with longer bios I had done by others, but they dont come into play with this project, at least not yet. :>
