Saturn

Quell and Limu's daughter is growing up! Saturn is using her natural talent for identifying found materials in the tidepools to open a crystal and candle shop at the Gathering Place!

Its wing damaged when it was blown off course in a storm, this Petalwing Peryton can no longer fly long distances and calmly follows Saturn as she wanders the tidepools in search of interesting shells. On special occasions, Saturn likes to decorate its antlers with dangling seashell ornaments, an attention Rosebud bears with patience and grace. Fluted Conch Organics Extremely fragile. When these glittering shells are not used to make delicate jewelry, they can be ground up and mixed with paste to form an iridescent polish. 36 Cerith Shell Organics A natural treasure and a foundation piece for any hatchling's hoard. 82 Rippleconch Organics A brilliant aqua-colored shell. Conches are a favored craft item, lending themselves to beautiful necklaces, sculptures, and gifts. 36

"Papa! Baba! It's happened again!!" Saturn came to her sires distraught. She led them quickly back to her cabana on the beach where she kept shelves and shelves of the treasures she found in the tidepools. They were usually crammed full of shells, sea glass and other prize items, but now whole sections were decidedly...empty.
Her guardians exchanged a worried look. Who else would covet these beautiful yet worthless trinkets? They needed a plan.

Bamboo Cluster Organics A bundle of bamboo shoots, green and freshly-cut. Dragons in the Windswept Plateau often use these to build kites. 85

Together, they created a blind further up the beach on the edge of the bamboo forest. They crouched behind the viewing slits and waited. As the sun trekked westward the afternoon breezes picked up through the forest, creating a murmur sure to lull the most determined hatchling to sleep...

LimuKai noticed it first: a rustling in the bamboo that woke his parental instincts like an alarm. He roused the other two (Quell was starting to snore) and together they watched as an audacious Grey River Flight emerged at first cautiously from the bamboo, but then proceeded boldly straight for Saturn's cabana!

The two dads turned to confer together. That's when they noticed their daughter was missing! Peering through the viewing slits they saw her trotting down to the shore to confront the thief. They emerged quickly but quietly from the blind. These creatures could turn agressive when cornered.

Arriving at the cabana, Saturn snatched up a nearby Sea Trumpet and held it out to the creature, whose paws were already full of a collection of glass and stones. After an initial moment of surprise, it dropped its loot and took the shell. Saturn offered it another. Again, it dropped its prize in favor of something new. Again and again Saturn performed this exchange until eventually the two of them were sitting amidst a pile of shiny ocean detritus, handing the pretty objects back and forth. "Hmmm," Quell observed. "I think she has a new friend."

"Bobo"

Aside from collecting seashells, Saturn often finds odd bits of colorful stone and glass along the beaches in Cliffside Cove. She sorts them into the larger abalone shells she also finds washed up on the sand and now has several shelves of them in her lair. She has no idea what to do with them, but she can't seem to let them go... Fluted Seashell Dragonmade A satchel full of cleaned-out shells makes a pleasing sound when jostled. 34 Reflective Fish Scales Organics A handful of colorful and reflective fish scales. They make excellent jewelry adornments. 35 Rippleconch Organics A brilliant aqua-colored shell. Conches are a favored craft item, lending themselves to beautiful necklaces, sculptures, and gifts. 36 Dragonhorn Coral Organics A foundation of many reefs in the Sea of a Thousand Currents. 35 Bluesand Agate Minerals & Ores Also known as Tidelord's Tears, this agate is rumored to grant its bearer premonitions. (Special thanks to Skitties!) 83 Cerith Shell Organics A natural treasure and a foundation piece for any hatchling's hoard. 82 Nudibranch Seafood The shed shells of grown nudibranch mollusks are often collected by water dragons for good luck. 53 5 Sparkling Crayfish Seafood While the crayfish itself is rather bland, its iridescent shell is often used for ornamentations. 20 2 Dragon Coral Organics This coral has different alchemical properties depending on if it is used fresh or dried. 37 Driftwood Branch Organics There's no telling where it's been or where it came from. 15 Fluted Conch Organics Extremely fragile. When these glittering shells are not used to make delicate jewelry, they can be ground up and mixed with paste to form an iridescent polish. 36 Driftwood Log Organics A favored decoration by those with no real taste. 25 Kelp Tender Plush Trinkets An excellent companion piece to the sopping Tidelord sackdoll. 51 Blue Quartz Minerals & Ores Additional minerals color this quartz a brilliant blue; a fine specimen for the marketplace! Then again, one can never have too many shiny things in one's own hoard... 70 Seaside Trumpet Organics Only one out of every eighty three seaside trumpets will be in tune. 82 Chalcedony Craylet Seafood The vibrant exoskeleton of the chalcedony craylet appears almost artificial. After being consumed, flecks of its shell are often used in mosaic patterns, as they retain their brilliance long after the animal's passing. 40 4
