All dragons sold/adopted out from the Zen Hatchery belong to Clan Mukti - The Enlightened Ones

The Enlightened ones believe in the attainment of Nirvana/Mukti/Moksha. This implies that when a dragon dies or if they are exalted, their soul will not be reincarnated or reborn, instead they move to a higher realm, the highest realm of being. They become one with the Universe's soul.

This realm possesses the center of the universe and is the creator and destroyer of all things and beings. This is the all-powerful dot of nothing and everything. Confusing, yes! But this is what the Enlightened ones are here for - to teach, preach and follow lives of sanctity and wisdom so that they may spread their mystical knowledge and love of purity to other dragons and help them save their souls from the cycle of rebirth in a world of suffering and lack of divine meaning.

The concept - Mukti/Moksha/Nirvana (Freedom from worldly realms/freedom from reincarnation)

This concept represents ultimate liberation, combining freedom, self-awareness, and self-knowledge. Mukti can be achieved during one lifetime or after death.

To achieve mukti in this life requires liberation from fears, ignorance and false knowledge. The Self-realized shows several characteristics, such as always speaking the truth, practicing nonviolence, humbleness and total Self-knowledge.

Mukti consists of the principles of scripture, devotion, nonviolence, music, and meditation. It emphasizes focus on animal rights and social activism.

This does not mean that the clan doesn't visit the Coliseum and take part in challenges. They simply practice these principles in general to attain a state of higher being.

How did the Enlightened ones come to be?

For generations, dragons were born, raised, sold and used for battle. Some of them found homes and were given a purpose in life. Some were exalted to become a part of their Flight leaders, to help gain dominance over other Flights. After exaltation, some dragons are often displeased. They want their lives back, they want a second chance. These dragons were attached to materialism, romance, the thrill of war and battle. Their exalted souls fly around through space and parallel dimensions, looking for a chance to live again.

Some of them return to Flight Rising's realms by being born as hatchlings. They find a pair of breeding dragons and choose to be born as their hatchling. Every time the soul returns, based on his or her karma, they are given a life or they choose a life that will teach them a lesson they need to learn. For instance, if they have killed an innocent soul, they will be killed as an innocent soul...or will lose someone dear to them who is an innocent soul. These lessons are taught either in one new life or a hundred new lives until the dragon attains the required knowledge.

So the Enlightened's duty is to ensure all dragons live pure lives. They only ones they pose a threat to are those who are evil by nature. Even this has its repercussions. They might be forced to return and live an evil life to learn the other side of the story before they are quick to judge. The enlightened ones embrace the Chaos of it all.

Their leaders, Shivan, Imriel and Xel formed the Clan ages ago and maintain it to this day. They have schools, shelters, medical assistance and training grounds all within their temple located in the Starfall Isles.

The clan protects, nurtures and trains dragons to develop their individual skills while working towards the path of enlightenment. The clan has strong fighters, with the leaders being the strongest of them all. But these aren't dragons who fight for no reason. They fight to keep away intruders who wish to steal their peace and tranquility.

Once the enlightened dragons are free from all earthly wants, lessons, and confusions, their soul will be set free to be one with the Universe.
