Note: Active despite zero-energy dragons!! If I don't answer your message, you likely did nothing wrong. I've got extremely low social bandwidth and most of it's reserved for IRL friends.

Lore note: All of it was written pre-Beastclan-retcon and tends to skew dark! If you're prone to needing regular content warnings, it's probably best you skip my lair. <3

Commonly known to allies as Clan AXQU. Put simply, they're a Lightning clan in the heart of Ice territory: they manufacture and research everything from enchanted armor to projectile weapons to all out bombs and biological agents. They took the Lightning flight's industriousness to a pathological extreme that made even other Lightning dragons side-eye them-- Clan AXQU considers the move to Ice a softening.

Their hospitality is legendary to allies, but their weapons tech and military capability is legendary to its enemies. They keep a high standard of living within the Clan and a frosty secrecy pointed outward-- perhaps the move was a natural fit, deep down, although the Clan still maintains that its soul is pure Shifting Expanse.

If asked, they will say that the reason they uprooted and dug a brand new bunker in the Southern Icefield is because of the Stormcatcher's management style. Clan AXQU consistently excelled in exceeding quotas, and their only reward was more work. Or, if they took a week to rest, anger and punishment for 'slacking off.' Tithes to the Spire got more and more ridiculously outlandish. The power demands to supply Goldensparc, with no reward but "the pride of Lightning-flight ingenuity" to show for it, became a source of resentment.

Clan AXQU is, naturally, driven. The Clan has self-selected for intelligent, resourceful, hardworking dragons. They resent being pushed to work themselves to death, under the implication that they'd be lazy otherwise, just to fund the lifestyle of some ~~ivory~~ golden tower layabout elites. What started as a rebellion has turned into a union, and everyone in Clan AXQU is much happier and more well-adjusted for it. Better a neglectful, hands-off God who leaves them alone than a toxic micromanager, in their eyes. The Stormcatcher created His children to have intelligence and critical thought. He has, in Clan AXQU's mind, no right to act all surprised when some of them look Him in the eyes and find Him wanting.

Quick heads up - you put in Oak's bio he has 30 lineages but it's 35. You have all 35 lines then written in but I think forgot to change the 30 to 35.

It's a small world is Flight Rising! I'm glad Seaglass is loved, I regret many of my old dragons getting exalted so I get excited anytime I find an older dragon on site that I originally owned at some point. I think I picked Earth when I moved because they got dominance benefits more often but honestly like the eyes are very good for so many of my dragons now but I seem to only have started appreciating that after I decided I wanted to move to Nature after I got back, lol. Tbf I love Nature's rainforest vibe a lot more than how empty Earth looks on the map so green eyes are fine.

Okay nope! I searched my posts and it wasn't an in flight raffle! I apparently ran my own raffle in May/June 2015, you were drawn in round 2 of the results. Which is funny because didn't you also get drawn round 2 of the Stogwen raffle?

Anyway I'm gonna stop word vomitting on your page now.

Yeaaaah that actually rings a bell. Seaglass' dad I believe I hatched during NoTN, gened him up and got him a mate and then for some reason I believe I decided I wanted to keep a kid and not the g1 dad??? Looking at Spry I definitely feel like I had him for a while??? I exalted like most of my old dragons before my hiatus for some reason (because I am silly) so I can't say 100% for sure. I don't remember donating Seaglass to the raffle, but I do have a vague recollection of having to come up with a name for a dragon to train them and calling them Sandglass. And I definitely did help out with Lightning's In Flight raffle for a little while (until some drama happened with the lightning dom team and I made some poor choices with my conduct and left for Earth...)

Also lemme know of you breed Hyder and Tethys (since I'm lowering my activity on FR for a lil while I'm worried I'll miss it)

Alright this might be a weird question because my memories of FR pre-hiatus I have are a mess, but did I run the raffle Seaglass (the nocturne) came from? I was being nosey in your lair for no reason whatsoever and I came across him and I had a very strong recollection that he was hatched in my lair back when I was in lightning. I don't remember running any raffles besides helping run Lightning dominance in-flight raffles for a bit but I also don't remember what I ate for breakfast two days ago

Thank you! I enjoy following your Hatchathon and am so happy to add an offspring of one of your seasonal pairs to my dragons. From the ice to the depths, let there be bugs!
