Sphalerite

Long ago, there lived two powerful dragon clans – the Rough Cut Malachite Dragons and the Polished Malachite Dragons. These two clans had always been at odds with each other, with their differences causing tension and strife amongst the two clans.

The Rough Cut Malachite Dragons were rugged and wild, valuing strength and ferocity above all else. They lived deep within the rocky mountains highlands, proud of their untamed nature and fierce loyalty to their kin.

The Polished Malachite Dragons were elegant and refined with their scales shimmering in the sunlight as they lived in the deserts that surrounded the highlands. They prided themselves on their knowledge and grace.

Despite the opposition between the two clans, there were four young dragons whose nature went against their clans' norms and together they formed a true friendship. There was

Variscite, a wise Rough Cut Malachite Dragon who sought unity amongst the clans;
Smithsonite, a gentle Rough Cut Malachite Dragon who loved all;
Limonite, a daring Polished Malachite Dragon who loved to explore the secrets of the land; &
Brochantite, a fiery Polished Malachite Dragon who had a heart of gold.

Together, the four dragons embarked on daring quests and shared in each other's triumphs and trials. They learned that despite their differences, they all shared a deep bond that went beyond the division between their clans. Through their adventures, they showed their fellow clan members that unity and understanding were more powerful than their differences.

As the years passed and they had to go underground, the friendship and love between Variscite, Smithsonite, Limonite, and Brochantite grew stronger, and became a beacon of hope for their clans. After emerging once again, this inspired both the Rough Cut and the Polished Malachite Dragon clans to set aside their differences and come together as one unified Malachite Clan at last above ground and the clan's offspring continue to be a beacon for all of dragon kind.
