Verismo

1/3 current dragons with these colours and ringlets: the others are Medley (Maya's son) and a spiral, Voiken. There are only 5 more exalts, including Maya.


Basic/Stripes - 90kt/Ringlets - salute to Maya!



Piebald? 235kt - I like the body marbling but gives him white face & cheek whiskers


Clown? Obscures the ringlets a little


Tapir? Less coverage than Savannah but a messy face

Ringlets 155kt -23,250 (dom) = 131,750

Maya (and his first son, Medley) were the only two tundras with this colouring and genes on FR, but Maya was exalted and Medley's lair is abandoned. This reflects the constant struggle of FR players, who want beautiful, unique dragons, but need space and funds to create and sustain them. Often, the same dragons players have striven to create become lost to dom battles and evolving desires. My Flight, with its Sunburn conquests, can be one of the worst for this, a tragic irony that the pursuit of beauty should be so ruthless towards many individually beautiful dragons. We are all guilty, to a greater or lesser degree: we all have to exalt in order to progress. This is not a criticism, merely an observation of the state of FR life. It is highly analogous to real life. I think it's an amazing coincidence that I found this dragon, already named Verismo (and the only one with this colouration for sale) as soon as I went to look. Vive the exotic dragons of FR!

Verismo is an Italian literary and operatic tradition that originated in the late 19th century. The word verismo is Italian for "realism" and the movements sought to objectively present life. Composers of verismo operas chose realistic settings, often depicting the struggles and drama of common people.
