Plague is widely considered to be a Flight of death and destruction. The rumors of the cruelty of the dragons that have made their homes in the unforgiving Wasteland abound and many do not trust those that leave it, reeking of what can only be assumed to be death and decay.

However, this cannot be further from the truth, for Plague fosters growth and evolution. It fosters dragons that change and plants and animals that mend and bend instead of breaking. The land may not seem as fertile as its sister land, the Viridian Labyrinth, but it is alive in its own way.

In order to prove this to the rest of the Flights, a group of dragons that call the Plague Flight their home have banded together in order to show all that come to their homeland the glory of the Plaguebringer and the wonders of the Wasteland.

Whether or not they succeed, however...

"Hey, you there," a sharp voice barks out. A wildclaw, shockingly green among the rotting red, stands before what appears to be an old stump. His claws dig into the wood and splinter it and the scars on his hide only seem to solidify the idea that he is a dragon that has fought and has won before.

"Get over here and look at this," the wildclaw continues, motioning towards a piece of paper on the stump. His claws glint briefly in the light of the burning sun, shining and winking at the dragons that gather, as if reminding them that it exists.

The paper reads, in surprisingly elegant handwriting;

Dear all that come to the Wasteland, we hope you have an enjoyable time among the events that we have planned for you. Please, stop and peer at the flowers (smelling may be harmful to your health) and pick up a few to take home with you (for pranks, not eating!). The creatures that roam this landscape may be fearsome at first glance, but they are only that way because you have not seen their predators the Wasteland has permitted them to survive that way. Do not judge a book by its cover, after all! Please, come join us on a journey throughout the glorious Wasteland and see what the Plaguebringer has created for us all to enjoy!

In smaller writing, beneath the main paragraph are a few rules;

Please do not consume anything on the paths.
Please do not touch anything on the paths.
Please do not breathe in anything suspicious.
Please do not drink anything suspicious.
Just don't do anything to anything if it looks suspicious.
Ask your tour guide for what suspicious means.

We are not responsible for any ailments you may get from the tours.
Please wash your hands in clear and designated waters after the tour.


The letter feels concerning, especially with all the rules involved. The wildclaw, however, glares up at the group with a piercing red gaze and razor-sharp claws.

"Well?" he snaps. "Are you gonna tell me your names?"

The dragon at the old stump stood up, gazing out at everyone assembled. "Welcome," he said, sounding bored, "to a Comprehensive Tour of the Wasteland. My name is Dionysus and I will lead you on your first part of the tour."

His gaze flickered around the group, taking in each of the dragons assembled and present. "Please know that if you join this tour, you will have read very carefully all the disclaimers and rules that come with it. We will not be sending you off on your own to face the terrors-- er, wonders of the Wasteland, but it would still be good for your health-- uh, enjoyment, to try and keep to the group and not wander off."

She had been chasing a couple Serthis when, all of a sudden, there were no longer any surrounding forests, and well... the place kinda looked like the Scarred Wasteland. She had spotted a green Wildclaw, and had planned to ask him directions to the Tangled Wood, before she had realised that the Wildclaw was a tour guide, and the guide was a trip around the Plaguelands. How exciting! She sat on her haunches as she read the paper, first lifting her goggles up, her bright scales and wings gleaming in the light. If one stared at her for too long, then they might be blinded. It certainly worked when she was fighting. On the bottom of the paper, someone had wrote '[b]I am prepared to have a phlegm-tastic time[/b]' in rust-coloured ink. She looked again, and blinked. The words were gone. Perhaps it were her imagination? The reading of the paper had only took a minute. It was just rules, blah blah blah, more rules, blah blah. How uninteresting. Beside's, it wasn't as though she hadn't battled in the Scarred Wasteland before.

Repositioning herself upon the tree stump, she tuned her lute and sang:

The Plaguelands are great
Life and death together entwined
Such rot and decay
plague_ani.gif A bunch of dragons
Wandering aimlessly here
So far from their homes
plague_ani.gif Through dangers untold
tourists will fight for their lives
for a stupid shirt


Leda gets up from the tree stump without saying a word, packs her belongings, and wanders off toward the Wyrmwound... whistling a tune.

Though in the end, he agreed to go because he was a 'little bit' curious what different kinds of waste he would see. So here he was listening to Dionysus showing them bones.Emile scoffed at the sight and thought rolling his eyes 'What's so interesting about them?'. Brekke though squealed with delight at the sight of them. "Ooh bones!!Lovely!It's a shame that the blood dried up already.. um could we take home one or two as a souvenir?" she asked Dionysus. Emile groaned as his sister asked the question. "What are we going to with a pile of bones?!!" Brekke ignored his brother and waited for the guide to answer.
