Do you know these little dragons that pop up when you make an Auction house trade? Well, those little guys are a species called "Courier Dragons." I always thought they were cute, so I used them in my bio. Other users would occasionally PM me asking where they came from or how to get them. It got me to thinking... What is a courier? They don't look like any of the other breeds, and they don't even match each other. So I looked up more about these little cuties: [quote=FlightRising]Edgar, Pearl, and Spitefire are courier dragons who will travel between territories and [b]delivery items and messages. (Including the ones that reach your inbox!)[/b] They’re worldly, flying archives of knowledge, and they freely share this knowledge with new players via tutorial modals. Each courier dragon has the eyes and powers of the territory in which they were born, but as a species they are not acknowledged as members of the 11 flights and they do not owe allegiance to any flight. As such, you will not see the courier species as an obtainable species in-game, though you’ll see them frequently referenced around the site. Courier dragons are neutral non-combatants and have free reign of the 11 territories. They provide an[b] essential service between the flights[/b]. No flight sanctions the harm of a courier, though it’s not infrequent for clans to attempt to steal the cargo of a courier if they suspect it to be of importance to their enemies. Couriers regard the [b]safe delivery of their cargo [/b]as a matter of the [b]utmost importance and personal honor.[/b][/quote] So that, plus this next quote, means that there are many more couriers running around, delivering things like our PMs and Crossroads. [Quote=FlightRising] Just like Crim and Pinkerton are not the only tundra dragons in Sornieth, [b]Pearl, Edgar, and Spitfire are not the only courier dragons[/b]. There are [b]many more[/b] off camera helping get packages from lair-to-lair![/quote] So, it seems like Couriers are the most underrated of the dragon species, since they seem to be doing the most work. [s]Also they would make an awesome candidate for the new gem Ancients.[/s] Of course, these little guys must be especially swamped right now, due to the pressures of social distancing and all. They are one of the essential occupations during this times of quarantine! ;) So, maybe it was time to celebrate some of the behind the scenes helpers. Naturally, this meant I had to make a few couriers of my own, and I thought I would share them with everyone. But first, let's look at the official trio, which I've been using for the base art: [center][size=7]The Real Couriers (TM)[/size] [img]https://www1.flightrising.com/static/layout/tut_edgar_crossroads.png[/img] [img]https://flightrising.com/images/media_icons/edgar_100x100.png[/img] [img]https://flightrising.com/images/media_icons/pearl_100x100.png[/img] [img]https://flightrising.com/images/media_icons/spitfire_100x100.png[/img][/center] These headshots can be found on the [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/site/icons]icons page[/url] in the Media portion of the Library.

[img]https://www1.flightrising.com/static/layout/small_message.png[/img] Some things to keep in mind: Because these couriers are so small, they tend to look best with solid body colors. No apparel please, other than hats. As of right now, I will only take suggestions based on existing dragons if: [LIST] [*]They have basic genes [*]Their genes are very simple (ex: iri/shim) [*]I have already done their genes (ex: underbelly and firefly) [*]They are wearing a skin that makes them simple (ex: amber trapped fae) [/LIST] [b]Please note:[/b] This is meant to be a free adopt thread, and not an art shop. I will not make a courier just for you, even if you bribe me. Any courier sprites made here will be free for everyone. The only reason new signatures need sponsored is because they are really time consuming to make, so I need to make sure people are actually serious about them.

[center][size=7]The Fake Couriers[/center] I figured that the original three have their paws full delivering AH auctions and helping new players, especially since the population on FlightRising has grown so dramatically over the years.

If you want one, respond to this thread with one of the order forms below: [quote=PersonalSig] I just want a personal signature for myself, please. [b]Courier:[/b] [b]Price:[/b] 10 g or 10,000 t (chose 1)[/quote] [quote=SponsoredSig!] I would like to sponsor this signature, so that it will always be free for everyone after this! [b]Courier:[/b] [b]Price:[/b] 50 g or 50,000 t (chose 1)[/quote] Since it sometimes takes me a while to get these done, you won't need to pay until I PM you with the finished sig. This is especially important because I deduct each individual sig sold for a certain design from the group sponsor price of that design. I'll try to update the list below, but it's probably easiest for everyone if you let me quote the exact price. Current reductions (updated 1/14): Redacted: 40g or 40,000t Yeet: 40g or 40,000t [b]Please note:[/b] I only do signatures for existing couriers. So if you would like a signature for a new courier, you have to put the idea for the new courier in the Suggestion Box first and wait to see if I make it. This has to do in part with time management and in part to keep these guys as free as possible. Thanks!

I never really noticed their details till now and it honestly made my day xD !

@celeana

@SurgeonOfDeath Of course! I'm glad you liked them! [emoji=new friend size=1]

Amazing job with Dusty and Willow, though i bet a lot of people would love if maybe you set up a shop for it? Where you make requested couriers and sell them for a buncha gems?

I've updated the real couriers to give better descriptions of where to find them [emoji=scroll 2 size=1]
