Ripe Yellow Banana Plant One of the sweetest, most delicious treefruits there is. The riper a yellow banana it is, the more nutrients it provides. Commonly used as a dessert. 55 7 Ingredient for today's beverage As you gingerly pick your way through the Hewn City, you begin to wonder whether the dusky twilight will ever end. Is this not the domain of the Lightweaver? How could there possibly be so much shadow in the domain of the goddess of Light? Just as you begin to face the fact that you might, just maybe, be hopelessly lost, you hear a gentle, melodic crooning. Feeling a sudden rush of hope, you begin to follow the music. Gradually, a soft, warm light begins to wend its way through the mist of the City. The closer you get, the surer you are that you're nearing your destination.

When the City opens up to a large, open glade, you know you've found the demesne of the Archaieos.

Archaieos is a clan of archeologists, artists, musicians, historians, and travelers. Defined in large part by the advanced age of each of the clan members, the sum total of draconic knowledge found within this clan can hardly be rivaled! You've traveled far to visit and learn from them.

Upon seeing you, the music abruptly ceases.

"Ho! A guest!" cries the Pearlcatcher responsible for the music you heard. He comes up to you, happily flouncing whiskers and tail. "Be welcome - come, listen to our tales, feast at our banquet, and be one of the family for a day and a night!"

VeVickers, as you come to find the Pearlcatcher is named, takes you around to meet some of the notable dragons of the clan. You discover that VeVickers himself is the clan Storyteller and Musician - due to these skills, he tends to preside over all clan festivals and holidays, the New Year included. He's immensely fond of parables, being firm in the belief that valuable life lessons might be learned through them.

He often acts as sort of priest, providing spiritual support to the clan. He has an excellent relationship with Sornieth's natural spirits.

Portal, Artist, Dreamer Portal always had trouble staying grounded - he is a first generation dragon, and thus lacked the roots most have.

Cirrus & Tephra, Cartographers, Explorers For all they've a weakness for finery, Cirrus & Tephra's true joys lie in discovering new lands, new archeological sites or ruins, and piecing together bits of history. They prefer hands-on work, though are best suited to more delicate jobs (such as extracting small fossils or putting together pottery fragments). They have a soft spot for geography, and enjoy mapping the current lay of the land and comparing it to how it might have been thousands of years ago. They frequently bicker of the impact of specific geographical formations on the development of ancient civilisations. The agricultural boom is of particular note to them, particularly in how it affected cities far from arable land.
