Rustle

Rustle
-She/Her-

Rustle flies high up in the sky and all over the place, drawing pictures and making maps of the places she sees. She is the clan cartographer. She also helps the construction subdivision by making sure the ridgebacks don’t dig into a den or another tunnel or get lost. As a spiral, Rustle has no problem with tight spaces, which is good, because a tunnel with 3-4 ridgebacks in it can get rather crowded.



“Oh, hiya, I’m Rustle! Are you lost? You look lost! If so, I can help! I know the tunnels can be pretty confusing for newcomers. Here, I’ve made some handy maps, take a look!”

The main entrance to the underground portion of the clan. The majority of the living spaces is made from many tunnels and surprisingly spacious caverns. The entrance is guarded at night, but not during the day on account of the high traffic. The entrance to the tunnel system is surrounded by communal gathering spaces, sunbathing rocks, a spot to drink clean water from, and is loosely fenced off using natural features such as trees, boulders, and bushes.

The Luminax Watch’s Outpost. Here, dragons can stock up on supplies, rest, and receive medical treatment if needed, before continuing their patrols. When not on patrols, the outpost is where the members of the Luminax Watch spend their time. Though not related to the emperor, this organization also makes rounds along the shadow-light border and the outskirts of the Hewn City.

-


A ground level exit from the tunnel system for dragons or beastclans that can’t or don’t fly. This way they can descend the cliffs and leave the clan’s territory without running into Luminax. It is guarded by one to two dragons at a time, one for daytime watches and two for nighttime watches. These shifts rotate every three hours, and each guard has two shifts on a working day. The tunnel that connects the exit to the main tunnel system is long and winding as to avoid Luminax’s territory, and as a result is not heavily frequented.

A rough draft of a map of the underground portion of the clan, shown as a side view. The tunnels are not drawn to scale. In the communal den, there is a perch for fae dragons to build their nests on and a pool for undertides that is filled with water from an underground canal system.
