Axinite

What happens when an earthquake hits? Most flee into a stable den or out in the open away from objects. But, what happens when you live underground? Deep in the Earth deeper than most dragons? You experience it first, and you experience it longer than those above the ground. It's one of the scariest things that can happen. Your home can literally be torn apart separating families, killing eggs just newly laid. It can wipe out whole clans. Ones just like Axinite, whose clan was buried underneath their very home. Caverns flooded drowning some, forges bursting open burning others. A clan over 200 strong became just one strong that day. A young Bogsneak boy who was out gathering ore for the smiths of the clan mercilessly survived.

Never did he realize as he pushed away the rubble blocking his way home that his home wouldn't be there. The great city collapsing on itself leaving a gaping chasm with barely a hint of the life that was once there. With a cry, Axinite started digging at the chasm’s floor trying to look for the survivors he knew that couldn't survive under thousands of pounds of rocks and ores.


He spent days looking and listening and waiting for a sign. When none came he left taking nothing with him. He spent the next several years digging and exploring even making it to the surface where he immediately said to bright and went back underground but would explore and trade with the surface dwellers at night until eventually, he met Citrine They decided to become mates and search for others to make a clan. After meeting Tourmaline and Heliotrope they decided to finally look for a more permanent home. They eventually tunneled their way into the Windsinger domain. Tunneling deep and deeper into the soil they started making their clan under a section of the Reedcleft Ascent right below the clan Globetrotters.

Axinite takes the structure of the clan home very seriously and is constantly checking on it and making repairs and reinforcement to the walls. He also takes the protection of it as well he's often out getting rid of pests and making sure no other tunneling creatures are infringing on their territory. The clan is very tight-knit but they don't often have big group events each choosing to kinda branch of and do their own thing. Axinite may not approve of it much but some of the clan members take trips up to the surface to explore and socialize bringing down surface knowledge and items. The surface exit is in a little hidden place so neither does Clan Shatter Gems or Globetrotters know about each other yet. They are unknowingly tunneling closer and closer to each other. As the Globetrotters tunnel down the more "surface lovers" of the clan are tunneling up to find new areas.
