NEW UPDATE We have a new forum section for the hatchies and the no chapters area <3 Located Here
Index: Pinglist | The Star Of The Show | Previous Mates | The Next Generation | Prologue + Chapter Index
This idea is taken from @Dreamnorn and their challenge thread here: The 100 Hatchling Challenge!
Honestly i've wanted to do some sort of lore challenge for a while, and this just looked perfect for me ovo
These are the main rules. Dreamnorn also added a few extra rules for those looking for a challenge, listed here:
Those in bold are the ones I wish to add in, HOWEVER, I am tweaking the rules slightly. The 'family trait' will not be an actual trait, but rather the flight that the mate comes from.
The last rule that I am adding/changing, is that I am extending an olive branch to everyone on flight rising to send in their ladies, and join in the fun XD Just make sure they aren't hatchlings x'D

Honestly i've wanted to do some sort of lore challenge for a while, and this just looked perfect for me ovo
The Rules:
Quote:
1. This challenge begins with the selection of your matriarch. To pick one, she must fulfill two requirements. The first, obviously, is that she has to be biologically female. The second is that she must have never been bred before now. That's it; anything else goes! She can be from your clan already, from the Auction House, have any breed / color / gene combination, be immediately RTB or not -- the sky is the limit. The one thing I recommend without a doubt is that she'd be a dragon you'd permanently keep, because you're going to have her in your hands for quite some time.
If you find that you're tiring of your matriarch's look, feel free to scatterscroll her, breed change her, or alter her genes as much as you'd like. The only thing you cannot do is replace her with any other dragoness after the challenge begins.
2. Select the first mate for your matriarch. You may retrieve him over the Auction House, borrow a stud, or pick a permanent resident of your clan -- literally the only requirement for him is that he's biologically male and thus can produce offspring with her.
Note how this step says "first" mate. This is because your matriarch cannot breed with the same dragon twice across the duration of this challenge.
3. Breed them once they're both RTB and you have sufficient space! Make a note of how many children they've had and keep it. Maintaining count is key. I'd also recommend making a note of who the mate was, so that you never accidentally "double-dip."
4. When the hatchlings are born, you cannot just immediately exalt them or sell them over the Auction House. On the contrary, you must ensure every hatchling gets a long-term home. This could be anything from becoming someone else's permanent dragon to being bred at least once in someone else's lair. Either way, they need to be kept by someone for a while before being exalted or exalt-trained, if ever. If you want, you may keep any hatchlings you get as long-term residents of your own clan.
If you end up selling someone a hatchling and they change their mind and either resell or exalt it, then you are not held accountable for it; after all, the matter at that point would have been out of your hands. However, it might be wise to not sell that person another hatchling for the duration of the challenge.
5. Repeat the process from finding a new mate to sending the hatchlings off to find long-term homes until all 100+ hatchlings have found a place they belong!

For an easier variation, you may sell hatchlings or adults through the Auction House at above-fodder prices. Remember to always check where the adult or hatchling price floor is if you go this route, since it can rise during dom battles!
For an easier variation, you may sell adults through the Auction House once they hit breeding age. This can be at the fodder price.
For an easier variation, ensure that every mate your founder breeds with does not share your founder's species. This ensures that she can always have a maximum of five eggs per nest.
For a neutral variation, you may do this challenge with a patriarch instead of a matriarch. Same general rules apply, only with the biological sexes of the dragons reversed.
For a neutral variation, ensure that your matriarch and every mate that you find for her are triple-gened.
For a harder variation, ensure that every mate your founder breeds with shares your founder's species. This ensures that she can only have a maximum of four eggs per nest instead of five.
For a harder variation, ensure that there's a "family trait" that must be passed on. This can be a certain coloured part (ex: a navy primary), a gene (ex: Cherub), or both (ex: navy Cherub). In order to do this variation, every mate you find for your matriarch must also possess this same trait in order to keep it in the family line!

If it’s in my active purge tab, take them. I want them gone.
