Clan Tenebris

You shouldn't be here.

That's what every part of your
body tells you.

It's what the environment tells you. The gnarled trees' branches
reach out for your soul and the
unnatural stillness in the woods
around you is unsettling at best.

You know that. Yet you still approach, curiosity outweighing fear.

As you walk through the woods, you trip on something: an old sign made of festering wood. It's faded and broken and barely legible, but you can still make out what it says:

Turn back... if you value your life.

'Are you lost?'

The voice echoes through the Tangled Wood like a breath of wind, coming from everywhere yet impossible to pinpoint.

'You are, aren't you?'

There's a rustle from behind you, but the moment you turn to look, the undergrowth is still, the only light being that of the glowshrooms native to the area.

'Oh, Traveller,' the voice sighs, 'don't be scared.

'I think you'll come to like it here.'

ORIGINS
____

Many dragons say that Clan Tenebris isn't made of the shadows, but is part of them.

A more accurate description would be that they're like them. Like shadows in the way they spread, never just inhabiting one part of Sornieth, but spreading themselves from the Tangled Wood to the very edge of the Southern Icefield and beyond.

The specifics are unclear, but rumour has it the Clan grew too large for the Tangled Wood and so separated, keen to explore more of the world while still within the comfort of their Clan, but some left it entirely, perhaps seeking to join a new one.

Different factions of the Clan exist, each having their own leaders and own rules, but in the end, all subject to the authority of the Council of Clan Tenebris.

FACTIONS

TANGLED WOOD

Deep in the Tangled Wood, there is a city with tall spires and arching gates. Within it are multiple groups who are part of Clan Tenebris, but they all belong to the same faction, and with that, the same leader: Moon.

That is the only thing they share though. Within the faction itself, dragons of all backgrounds and skillsets roam. There are nobles and aristocrats, artisans and traders, soldiers, thieves and even murderers. That said, it comes as no surprise the Tangled Wood is easily the largest of the factions of Clan Tenebris.

Hey! I'm Aquillia, a bilingual artist, writer and pixel dragon
collector... among other things.

My pronouns are she/her but I don't mind they/them.
I'm also bi and taken.

While I do my best to come on FR every day, I am also a student
and more often than not, have a lot of work to do. Unfortunately,
pixel dragons don't take priority.

That said, I will always answer any messages sent to me as soon
as I can (provided I don't forget). I do like mail.

In the near future, I also hope to open art, lore and skin shops
to get gems to fund my numerous projects on this site. If you're
interested, don't hesitate to send me a message.
