RP friendly, lore loving, exalting lair. I've returned to Nature. Revamping lore and territory, someday lol.

Inside the blighted region known as The Scarred Wasteland lies Rotrock Rim, home of the venerable Clan An Duin. Beyond lies the great Wyrmwound, personal cauldron of the Plague Bringer and birthplace of pestilence. Their residence is located deep within the sickly desert of twisting sands and gnarled trees few dragons dare to traverse. While most clans prefer to build their abodes out of wood, stone, or the land itself, Clan An Duin's foundation is made up of the massive trunk-like structures of dozens of towering Prototaxites. Rope and wooden bridges crafted from the diseased trees of the region twist among the lichen-like pillars, creating a vast system of lifted walkways. Nestled within the Prototaxites tips, trunks, and/or bases, lie the inhabitants' individual living quarters, each occupied and decorated by a single dragon or mated pair. Dross and Panax, being the two Progenitors of the clan, reside in the center of the expansive complex inside the largest and most impressive spire of them all; a truly gargantuan branched conifer-like Prototaxites. There, Dross painstakingly cultivates countless highly infectious species of fungi for various means. Some of the species raised are symbiotic in nature and supplement the health of the clan members and the growth of supporting lichen structures. Others are parasitic and skillfully weaponized to infect and kill their chosen hosts.

Around the perimeter of Clan An Duin's sprawling territory lies a Haha styled retaining wall that separates the clan from the rest of The Scarred Wasteland. The unique sunken architecture of this sturdy structure allows the dragons of the clan to see the vast expanse of land that wraps around the entirety of the surrounding lands whilst keeping flightless ne'er-do-wells trapped firmly on the other side. The sun-bleached skeletal remains that make up the majority of the retaining wall itself are pieces of the foes fought and slaughtered by the three standing clan champions, Dross, Panax, and Radsla. Additionally, the deeply unsettling nature of the raw materials used act as a strong reminder of the clan's strength and a warning to any who lay eyes upon it; to see the great wall is to know that maliciously advancing upon Clan An Duin's land is to perish in agony. Should someone or something slip by or not take heed of the given visual warning however, Kimbra, the mirror and designated border patrol of the perimeter, will be quick to alert the rest of the clan. The responding defensive force will then bring about a swift end to the would-be invasion, at any and all costs.

I name and train all of my exalts, and I choose good sounding names from the generator. Many of my older dragons have unnamed offspring and, while it doesn't bother me personally, if you're interested in any of my dragons for sale, please look at their offspring lists beforehand.
