This thread was created as a resource and guide to all of @Ashanimus (formerly LucidDreamer) and @Elsewhere's roleplay shenanigans. Compiled below is an ongoing list of stories, head-canons and general world-building jargon.
Up n' Coming

The Copper Angel Theatre Company has sent a small troupe of its up-and-coming best and brightest on an independent tour around Sornieth’s territories to prove themselves as performers. However, one night during a raging storm, a strange, bedraggled dragon with mismatched eyes and a terrifying past stumbles into their wagon, pulling them from their previously mundane lives into a world saturated with long shadows, dark magics and darker dragons. Forces are converging in Sornieth, converging upon this small theatre troupe as they struggle to determine what’s truth from lie, and their roles upon the greater stage of fate amidst the darkness they find themselves fighting—not just for their own sakes, but the world at large.

{ HARBINGERS }
The skies and valleys are ringing with the cries of dragons as a virulent magical affliction raises the dead to prey upon the living. The Beastclans have seized this opportunity, surging forth from their settlements to strike at the heart of Dragon culture as whispers of an entity— known only as the “Good Dragon”—swirl amidst the chaos, that the origin of this calamity is draconic in origin and the gods have been blamed for abandoning their children.
But perhaps there’s hope. The High Oracle of Kruzik Golz--the flying citadel housing the seat of the Dragon governments--has foreseen the arrival of not one or two, but perhaps five dragons imbued with the life of the gods. Several of them have already been taken to Kruzik Golz, allegedly for protection against the harshness of the apocalypse happening below. But there’s talk of a conspiracy, that perhaps they are held there for darker reasons and that something is awry in the sluggishly beating heart of Draconic society.
Five dragons imbued with the life of the gods must band together to save a world that’s long since given up on rescue. Together they need to discover the source of the Calamity, and reverse it, using their diverse talents, wits and extraordinary magical gifts to bring back Dragonkind from the brink of despair—all while facing the dangers of a world destroyed by The Returners, brigands and agents of the Good Dragon, who seeks to end their lives at any cost.

{ Dragonhome, Dragonheart }
{ Dragonhome, Dragonheart }
The Lucid Dreamer and Elsewhere Clans have held a prosperous covenant of friendship for many years, establishing strong family ties solidified with bonds of blood and honesty. For a young Pearlcatcher named Agrigan, the allies in the North have merely been conveyed to her through stories and brief exchanges. But at last, she has reached the level in her apprenticeship that requires she relocate from her clan in the Ashfall Wastes to Dragonhome where she will reside with the Elsewhere Clan and hone her skills with the resident Mastersmith.
Bestowed with her very own Craft and Breeding ledger before she departed, she is a dragon grown and about to take part in a new phase of life. Upon arriving, a charming scout from the Elsewhere Clan effectively steals her heart. He is charming, attentive and chivalrous. But when they pair take a trip to Cairnstone Rest, she quickly discovers that her beau is not all that he's cracked up to be.
When a raiding party of Serthis attacks, the two are thrown together on a desperate adventure as they become trapped in the extensive mines beneath the surface. They are forced to put aside their differences in order to survive and make it back home. But as proximity and necessity for teamwork often reveals, Orion finds an unexpected radiance and beauty in Agrigan that he hadn't noticed before. Similarly, Agrigan finds that Orion's outward behavior is rooted deep in a past that he convinced himself didn't matter.

{ Tracing Blood }
The bonds between the Clans of Lucid Dreamer and Elsewhere took root many years ago when the founders from the respective clans met on a long-forgotten battlefield. But the mighty tapestry of their deep connections would not be woven until decades later when the clans meet again at the Flameforger's Festival.
Benjin, Schachar, Aschelaan and Dreadnought are in need of a guide to escort them south during the most active quake and eruption season in the Ashfall Wastes. Be it fate or divinely influenced, the band meets Kangrehaan, a skilled warrior and talon-for-hire. The party departs on a long and perilous journey, with just about nothing going according to plan.
Captured by blood pirates, dragons who carve out a living by abducting well-gened dragons and selling them to the highest bidder, the group devises an escape plan but soon discovers a diabolical plot that goes far beyond simply piracy.
Overcoming great obstacles, the adventure that threatened their lives actually turned out to be the very foundation upon which the unbreakable friendship between the Lucid Dreamer and Elsewhere Dragons was built.

World-Building
One of our favorite pass-times is expounding on the already solid lore of Flight Rising. However, it can be a downfall because we spend more time constructing scenarios and explanations for things that we don't actually get to the RP at times! But in order to keep track of all of the world building aspects we come up with, we decided to utilize the wonderful tool of Googledocs. Having access to these "head-canons" allows us to retain continuity within the RPs that we conduct.
These documents are constantly being changed with both additions and redaction, so if you are interested in our ideas, keep checking back to see what's been thrown in!
General Head-canons
Kruzik Golz
The floating island of Kruzik Golz is the brainchild of Lucid and Elsewhere as a means to explain dominance and as a place for dragons to meet upon neutral ground. Every Flight is represented in the architecture as an ode to peace, although as with every government, there are corruptions in the system as can be seen in the story of the Harbingers.
