Ancient Lair

Great Furnace

Clan Info

A metal dome juts over the sea from a cliffside in the Blacksand Annex. The noise issuing from it is spectacular: metal clangs and steam hisses; electricity crackles and magic seems to hum just at the edge of hearing. Huge, jagged metal letters declare it "Ironsides." Whether this is a possessive, a clan, or a plural noun is still a matter of some speculation among the locals. Inside, a great forge built over a pool of lava is worked by a variety of dragons great and small. An armored guardian, Chatoyant, watches over the work at the forge built by her long-gone mate. Several imperials coil around the open area, while smaller dragons move in and out of the shadows beyond the great forge. Water from the sea hisses in a cooling pool nearby, and steam fills the open dome before rushing out into the night. Old Ironsides himself watches from a gem-encrusted perch near the top of the dome, casually tinkering with a small invention as he watches his forge grow.

Ironsides' is divided into five wings: the Crystalline Court, the Iron Fist, the Thaumaturge, the Night Warriors, and the Wild Ones.

The Crystalline Court (or just the Court) is made up of the gem dragons and clever artisans that busy themselves with the finer details of Ironside's work. The court spends a fair amount of time simply marveling at how beautiful they all are in their splendorous glory, as well. Ironside himself leads the Court.

The Iron Fist is mostly made up of guardians and imperials. These metalworkers guard and manage the forge, and also serve as armorers for the Wild Ones and Night Warriors. The Iron Fist is one of the three groups to rotate between hunting and guarding. Chatoyant currently leads the Iron Fist, in the stead of her husband Stonefall, who now serves Mather.

The Thaumaturge practice magics beyond the understanding of regular dragons. These mystics lend their arts to the Night Warriors as well as special projects of the Court. Led by Morgana, most members of the Thaumaturge are skydancers and bogsneaks from all over Sornieth.

The Night Warriors descend from a great warrior Pulchrior, in the Sun Circle Clan. They serve as protectors and guardians over the clan, and also explore far and wide recruiting and training new members. The Night Warriors are mostly mirrors and nocturnes.

The Wild Ones, as their name suggests, are a bit more primal than the average courtly dragon. These Wildclaws and Ridgebacks prefer the company of no one, save maybe each other. They spend their time scouring the blacksand in search of prey. When back in the lair, they're also known for their exotic ornamentation. Often a Wild One's creative bone-carving will find it's way to a mystic ritual or a particularly attractive gem-setting.

"The fire should not be stirred by the sword."

I loved the bonsai you made for FireDom! I couldn't find whether you mind them being used offsite, but I wanted to let you know that I am using one or two on Dappervolk, with a link back here. If you'd rather I didn't just let me know ^-^
