They were reluctant to leave their original home, however, and it was Loki who suggested taking the Spire with them to the Starwood Strand. Under his direction, all of the dragons in the Clan contributed their strength to break the Spire's connection to the land. As Loki had long suspected, the Arcane magics of the Starfall Isles kept the Spire airborne despite the lack of physical support. So the Clan began to push the Spire across the sea from the Crystalspine Reaches towards the Starwood Strand. However, as they moved further from the physics-warping magic and Arcane energies surrounding the Observatory, the Spire began to drop. The Lundlaevungar realised what was happening, but even with all their combined magic they could do nothing to stop the fall. With great effort, they managed to get the Spire to the very edge of the Star Wood. There, it clipped the edge of the cliffs and toppled over, skidding into the trees and leaving a rut of destruction in its wake. Despite Loki’s best efforts, the Spire could not be raised again. So the Clan became used to their lair lying on its side, and made new homes in the trees of the Star Wood. They also tunnelled into the cliffs to create a stairway to the beach and hollowed out a network of corridors and chambers on many different levels, which stretch well below sea level. Eventually, Loki and the Lundlaevungar gained enough power to raise the Spire from where it lay. The Clan floated it out over the ocean to hang, equidistant, between the Starwood Strand and the Focal Point. It is once again supported by the strange energies emanating from the Arcanist’s home, and apart from a little course-correction to compensate for drifting, the Clan does not plan to move the Spire again. [br][columns][item=blue quartz][nextcol][size=5][color=indigo][font=Century Gothic][b]ARRIVAL OF THE BLUE PLINTH[/b][/color][/font][/size][/columns] The Clan had not been residing in the Starwood Strand for long when a strange feature was spotted on the horizon. In the hours that followed, it approached and they saw that it was a crystal plinth not unlike those harvested by the dragons of the Crystalspine Reaches. However, it was not made of Rose Quartz or Pink Chalcedony, nor Rhodochrosite or Kunzite or even Morganite. This plinth was a deep shade of blue. When the plinth reached the cliff top alongside the fallen Spire, its inhabitants emerged: the Doctor, a dragon cursed with spontaneous shape-shifting and, thus far, thirteen known forms; the Imperial known as Tardis whose magic keeps their plinth aloft; the two Spirals, Space and Time, who help to pilot the plinth when they move it from place to place; and the Doctor’s host of companions. The group was made welcome among the Lundlaevungar. Despite their visitors’ mysterious and unusual ways, the Clan liked the Blue Plinth’s inhabitants: they were helpful and the tales they told, though strange, were highly entertaining. Aside from this, Odin was intrigued by the Doctor’s unique affliction, which permitted him to change not only his physical form but also his Flight: an otherwise unheard of feat. Loki, meanwhile, was fascinated by Tardis and her ability to hold the Blue Plinth in the air by herself, seemingly without effort – particularly considering the problems they had had with the Spire. They discussed the matter with the other members of the Althing Council, and decided to extend an invitation to join the Clan. The Doctor and his companions neither accepted nor rejected their offer, but explained that they were dedicated to adventuring, and never remained in any one place for too long. Soon enough the Blue Plinth was gone from the Lundlaevungar Territory. Yet ever since, the Blue Plinth has returned to the Lundlaevungar on a regular basis. Now that the Spire has been returned to the skies, the Blue Plinth can been seen in a steady orbit around it whenever the Doctor and his companions are present in the Territory. [br][columns][img alt="Focal Point"]http://www1.flightrising.com/static/map/icons/arcane_2.png[/img][nextcol][size=5][color=indigo][font=Century Gothic][b]TAKING THE FOCAL POINT SHORELINE[/b][/color][/font][/size][/columns] It was Mimir’s idea to expand to the Focal Point. After the Spire was returned to the sky, he discovered a sandy cove on the opposite shoreline to the Starwood Strand. On the landward side it was protected by tiered cliffs, and towards the sea spits of land curved around to form a natural harbour that was all too evident to a Water dragon and a seafarer by trade. Mimir therefore sought to claim the land for the Lundlaevungar. During his explorations, he discovered two natural caves which the tides had carved out of the cliffs. The more secretive of these he claimed as a storage space for the goods he traded, and it quickly became known as the “Smugglers’ Cache”. The Lundlaevungar had long suspected that Mimir had at least one ship operating on his behalf in the waters surrounding their home, but it was only when the cove became part of the Clan’s territory that they had any proof of such activities. Mimir’s small fleet grows periodically as more pirates turn privateer and operate with the Althing Council’s blessing in Lundlaevungar waters. Later, the second cave became the Clan’s Forge and the dragons who decided to live on the Focal Point shore expanded into the tiered cliffs of the Focal Point, creating homes with spectacular sea views on the terraces above the cove. [br][columns][img alt="Oculus of the Eleven"]https://www1.flightrising.com/static/layout/lair_icons/77.png[/img][nextcol][size=5][url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/ann/2392505#post_2392505][color=indigo][font=Century Gothic][b]BOUNTY OF THE ELEMENTS[/b][/color][/url][/font][/size][/columns] The events which later came to be known across Sornieth as the ‘[url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/ann/2392505#post_2392505]Bounty of the Elements[/url]’ affected the Lundlaevungar as much as any other Arcane clan. The first sign was when the Twisting Crescendo went still. Most of the Lundlaevungar barely noticed the absence of the westerly breeze that normally drifted through their territory. It was Sparrow and the crew of the Black Pearl who called attention to the fact that the speedy winds that blow from Starwind Bay, bringing up cool air from the Southern Icefield, had gone quiet – and left the galleon becalmed in its moorings, black sails hanging limp in the dead air. The Medium too was badly affected: the airship limped around its habitual loop of the Spire, drifting lower with every circumnavigation without the usual gusts of air to buoy it aloft. As the windless days dragged on, it became increasingly clear that something was wrong. Njord, Mimir and Jormungandr, Corvus, and even Sol who felt little connection with the element of her hatching, began to suffer from unsettling prescient dreams. None of them received a clear message, but all were left with visions of a sea in which no bubbles rose from the deep and a sense that something was about to happen. The Althing Council did their best to calm their clanmates, but with nothing more than foreboding to go on, there was no way to prepare for whatever was about to unfold. Then the moment arrived. Violent tremors ripped through the Starfall Isles as the land’s crystal growths multiplied at an accelerated pace: expanding the Crystalspine Reaches upwards and outwards, and augmenting the Focal Point with new spires and turrets of chalcedony, quartz and rhodochrosite. The dragons living on the Focal Point shoreline were forced to batten down their homes to protect against enormous seismic waves created by the surge of crystal growth, and all but the highest levels of the Cliff Tunnels beneath the Starwood Strand were flooded as the shoreline was battered by the disturbed ocean. The Spire itself was affected by turbulence, not due to any storm but because of the raw magical energies pulsing through the ley lines. The crystal plinth was pitched and tossed as if caught in a slow-motion hurricane, and was stabilised only by the collective efforts of all its inhabitants. Thankfully, no one was badly hurt and nothing irreplaceable was damaged. However, when the land finally stilled and the ocean receded back to its usual breakers and swells, much of the territory was damaged and the Clan had to work hard to put everything to rights once more. Even when everything was restored, the Clan’s concerns lingered. What would be the effect of such intensely increased magic? Would the usual wards be enough to protect their nests and eggs? Only time would tell. Following the upheaval of the Bounty of the Elements, Ancient dragon breeds began to emerge across Sornieth. However, the reintroduction of first Gaolers, then Banescales, then Veilspun and so on didn't much affect the Lundlaevungar: though news of their discovery was met with amazement and academic fascination, it changed little about the Clan's daily lives. The dragons in the Lundlaevgunar view Ancient dragons in much the same was as any other and hold no prejudices against them. [br][columns][img alt="Observatory"]http://www1.flightrising.com/static/map/icons/arcane_3.png[/img][nextcol][size=5][color=indigo][font=Century Gothic][b]OBSERVATORY OUTPOST[/b][/color][/font][/size][/columns] For years Einmyrir petitioned his father to relocate the Lundlaevungar Territory, or at least the Spire, into the heart of the Focal Point. However, Loki refused to test his luck and move the Spire again, and the rest of the Clan was reluctant to reside any closer to the intense energies radiating from the Observatory. After the Bounty of the Elements caused such upheaval to the Starfall Isles and the saturation of elemental magic began to affect dragons’ eyes, their fear only grew. Undeterred, Einmyrir continued his pilgrimages to the home of the Arcanist, forging new paths through the altered land with the help of those he influenced towards exaltation. On one such journey, he discovered the Ancient Sanctum. The structure is as old as dragonkind itself: a cluster of delicate spires protected by a magical force-field. It lay hidden for centuries, but was revealed once more during the Bounty of the Elements. Upon further exploration, it proved to be the home of three ‘sisters’ who had slept away the intervening ages: Destiny, Terra and Atlantis. Despite what could have been seen as the invasion of their home, these guardians of the Ancient Sanctum welcomed the Lundlaevungar. Those who wished to conduct further research or develop a better understanding of their own powers were even invited to stay. The site has since become an important outpost for the Clan. However, much to Einmyrir’s displeasure, the sisters remain ambivalent towards the concept of exaltation. Though they play host to his novitiates and scholars on their final journey to the Observatory, they refuse to allow the Ancient Sanctum to become a training ground for those who intend to grow their strength only to serve the Arcanist. [br][columns][item=pickaxe][nextcol][size=5][url=https://www1.flightrising.com/effort/1][color=indigo][font=Century Gothic][b]DUSTCARVE DIG[/b][/color][/url][/font][/size][/columns] River's membership with the Dragonhome Preservation Guild's meant that she received word of the [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/effort/1]Dustcarve Dig[/url] expedition ahead of most dragons living outside of Earth's territory. She made plans to travel to Dragonhome with the Doctor, who intrigued by the mysterious nature of the Guild's discovery. Their preparations did not go unnoticed by their allies in the Lundlaevungar. Before long, whispers reached Loki and, intrigued, he tried to wrangle all the information he could from the Doctor, their companions and River herself. He wasn't enormously successful, but he did find out that they planned to travel in the Blue Plinth, the Doctor's floating home and preferred mode of transportation. With a little effort and illusion magic, he managed to hide himself and cling to the side of the crystal, and was whisked away with them. The Blue Plinth's swift gyrascopic flight made it an uncomfortable and dizzying journey, but Loki made it to the excavation site undetected. In the following days, Loki worked hard alongside the Guild's archeologists and the countless other dragons who followed rumours and reports to join them: first opening a tunnel, then delving deeper to discover a glowing shrine and an ancient, underground city set in an enormous cavern. Though he was tempted to join the Oculus scholars who come to study the shrine's crystal, Loki ultimately decided to explore the city and join the search for any signs of Velya's missing apprentice Fetter and those who might have taken them. He was therefore close by when a section of the cave floor collapsed into an old aquifer and rushed to help stabilise the rockfalls and rescue those in danger. Once the ground was safe again, he was among the first dragons to enter the chamber below the city, where they found a vast number of draconic statues. Loki was just as amazed as everyone else when the Earthshaker's magic surged and the the first of the statues came to life: Mirth, presenting himself to Velya at the forefront of the expedition. As the rest of the statues began to crack and shift, Loki found himself standing directly before a pair of dragons as their stoneshape shattered. The two newly created dragons emerged with a joyful roar and imprinted on Loki in their first moments of life. As the thunder of breaking stone and first cries became a clamour of voices, the two introduced themselves as Valour and Zeal and offered themselves as protectors to his Clan. They have been part of the Lundlaevungar ever since. [br][columns][item=Soldier's Supplies][nextcol][size=5][url=https://flightrising.com/main.php?p=wiki&article=113][color=indigo][font=Century Gothic][b]WARRIOR'S WAY[/b][/color][/url][/font][/size][/columns] The first [url=https://flightrising.com/main.php?p=wiki&article=113]Warrior's Way[/url] began a new tradition among the Lundlaevungar. The Clan's warriors, both dragon and beastclan, are annually encouraged to enter this friendly competition and try to win glory (and new alliances) for the Lundlaevungar. Thor and Sif insist that all who wish to participate take part in training and have opportunities to test their mettle against a variety of opponents ahead of time, to best ensure they are not injured in the course of the competition. Kvika is the most ardent supporter of and contestant in the games: she takes it very, very seriously. She fights to win and intends to one day become the Warrior's Way Champion. Eisa is, of course, her biggest supporter. However, she is not the only dragon to attend solely as a spectator, and many of the Lundlaevungar enjoy watching the matches and cheering on the fighters. The Warrior's Way is as much a chance to mingle and forge new relationships as it is a show of martial prowess. The Clan's smiths also attend with their wares, providing the contestants and their loved ones with supplies of high-quality weapons, armour, mementos and gifts. Another who sees the competition as an opportunity to make some extra treasure or gems is Citta: she takes her merchant stall and sells a variety of items, including bottled drinks supplied by Qlfuss and healing potions and other curatives made by the Lundlaevungar healer, Kvistr. She likewise offers the services of the Clan's wordsmiths, who will record competitors' exploits in story, stanza or song - for a fair price. The Clan's entertainers find further opportunities to ply their trade between bouts and in the evenings. Readings, recitations, song, music and dance are all welcomed by fighters and spectators alike, and the convivial atmosphere of the Warrior's Way means that performers often receive generous tips for their efforts. [br][columns][url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/cc/1985777/1#post_1985777][img alt="Lens, platform and runes from the Arcane exalt pillar"]https://i.imgur.com/XhpFCLD.png[/img][/url][nextcol][size=5][url=https://flightrising.com/main.php?p=wiki&article=122][color=indigo][font=Century Gothic][b]ASTROLAB CRASH[/b][/color][/url][/font][/size][/columns] The unexpected appearance of a giant comet above the Starfall Isles was an amazing spectacle: the Lundlaevungar rushed to the Scar's cliffs, the edges of the Terraces and the top of the Spire to watch as it arced through the sky. However, the wonder soon turned to fear. The shooting star was enormous, far larger than anyone had ever seen before -- and it was streaking right towards the heart of the Clan! The Spire's residents scattered: some evacuated with hatchlings, familiars and irreplaceable treasures, while the mages and warriors threw up every protection they could muster. Brave clanmates rushed from the Focal Point and Starwood Strand to help, adding their magic and strength to the efforts to save their home. As it descended, the comet resolved into a huge floating island topped by an arcglass dome, glowing with unmistakably Arcane runes and the purplish plasma of reentry. It swooped away from one set of cliffs and then another, as if steered by a desperate pilot, then soared overhead. Those maintaining the protection spells were bombarded by the blazing heat and ear-splitting roar of its passing. The Spire tipped and shuddered as it was jostled in the fearsome winds and battering of magical energies — but remained afloat and undamaged. Yet even as the mages righted the crystal, steadied its levitation and breathed heartfelt sighs of relief, it was not over: the comet was still falling. It splashed down moments later in the sea beyond the Lundlaevungar’s borders and exploded, spitting out shards of arcglass, twisted equipment, and gouts of Arcane fire. The Lundlaevungar rushed to investigate the crash site alongside dozens of Arcane clans. They quickly discovered survivors around and within the wreckage, and offered their aid to the sinking, shattered Astrolab and its inhabitants. Afterwards, the Clan offered shelter to the Aether, housing them in the Cliff Tunnels and Terraces for as long as they wished to stay. Many moved on after a few days or weeks to find missing family and crewmates, explore the world they had only seen from afar, or simply to report to the Observatory. However, some decided to make the Lundlaevungar Territory their permanent home. In the days following the Astrolab’s return to Sornieth, Njord found two aether eggs washed up on the shore near his cave. After determining that they were viable and almost ready to hatch, they were incubated together in the Clan’s nests and hatched together on the same day, in the midst of the Mistral Jamboree. Despite the Lundlaevungar's best efforts, their biological parents could be found, and the 'twins' joined the clan as well.

The pair accompaied the sprite across the seas and arrived at the stump where the Spire had once connected to the land. In the years since, and in the aftermath of the Bounty of the Elements, the crystals had flourished once more to form a perfect cradle - in which they found a huge and varied clutch of eggs! All of them were starting to wobble and crack. Angrboda rushed back to the clan to fetch the clan's hatchling caretakers, Sigyn and Radulfr, while Loki and Lundlaeva remained to oversee the hatching. All too soon, fifteen fresh hatchlings filled the nest. As he looked over the new arrivals, Loki realised that his Sprite companion had been led here for a reason. These dragons were a gift - from the Gods or from fate itself - and were destined to become part of the Lundlaevungar. The hatchlings were brought back to the Spire and raised collectively by the Clan. As such, they grew to represent many different aspects of the Lundlaevungar, depending on which mambers of the Clan and which parts of the Lair had the greatest influence on their upbringing. The Light and Shadow hatchlings became inseparable siblings, drawn inexorably to the glowing shade of the Starwood Strand. The Ice hatchling, ironically, found a mentor in Fire knight Kvika and dedicated herself to resurrecting and preserving an ancient Order of Chivalry. Some were inspired by Mimir to become [s]pirates and smugglers[/s] [i]privateers and traders[/i]. The hot-tempered Banescale found a use for her explosive temper as a power generator in the Cliff Tunnels, while the Arcane hatchling developed an avid interest in enchanted cybernetics. The Water hatchling turned out to be a powerful mage with an affinity for insects ...

Weathered Grimoire CLAN RECORDS

.
These are the accounts of the Lundlaevungar, recorded by Skald, the Clan’s scribe, at the order of the Althing Council.

The Clan was founded in the Crystalspine Reaches by Loki and Angrboda. Since then, it has grown to become a territory spanning several miles and stretching from the Star Wood to the Focal Point. At the centre is the Spire: the floating crystal plinth that is the Lair of the Lundlaevungar and the heart of the Clan itself.

Crystalspine Reaches CLAN ORIGINS
Loki and Angrboda founded the Clan when they met in the Crystalspine Reaches. Angrboda carved their first home out of a crystal spire that rose out of the sea. At this time, it was linked with the land by two columns that were too narrow to support its weight; even then it was held aloft by the magic that saturated the land. At first, the Lair was nothing more than a simple cavern, but it quickly became a home, and it was here that Loki and Angrboda brought their hatchlings into the world.

Thor and Odin joined the Clan while Loki and Angrboda were still raising their young family. It was not long before Loki’s declared them his brothers in bond, if not by blood. So it was that the earliest iteration of the Althing Council came into being, though it would not be named as such until a long while afterwards.

The Lundlaevungar are so called to honour the Arcane Sprite who joined their ranks shortly after the founding of the Clan, during the Month of Starlight.

In the early days, the powerful Arcane forces emanating from the Observatory caused Loki and Angrboda’s hatchlings to be mutated within their eggs: some of the changes were physical, and some gifted additional powers; but others altered their offsprings’ minds. After the Sprite’s arrival, the Clan’s luck began to change for the better, and they attributed their newfound fortune to her presence.

Loki decreed that the Clan would henceforth be known as the Lundlaevungar: the Clan of Lundlaeva. Individual dragons identify themselves as “Lundlaevung” (Lundlaeva’s).
Arcane Sprite

The Sprite herself has a strong bond with Loki and the two are rarely seen apart. Though she does not speak Draconic, and he does not understand the language of the Sprites, they seem to find few difficulties in communicating with one another. She is a member of the Althing Council, and her opinion carries great weight among the dragons of the Clan.


Starwood Strand MOVE TO THE STARWOOD STRAND
As the Clan grew, it became apparent that they would soon run out of space within the Spire, and the Lundlaevungar decided to move. They were reluctant to leave their original home, however, and it was Loki who suggested taking the Spire with them to the Starwood Strand. Under his direction, all of the dragons in the Clan contributed their strength to break the Spire's connection to the land. As Loki had long suspected, the Arcane magics of the Starfall Isles kept the Spire airborne despite the lack of physical support.

So the Clan began to push the Spire across the sea from the Crystalspine Reaches towards the Starwood Strand. However, as they moved further from the physics-warping magic and Arcane energies surrounding the Observatory, the Spire began to drop.

The Lundlaevungar realised what was happening, but even with all their combined magic they could do nothing to stop the fall. With great effort, they managed to get the Spire to the very edge of the Star Wood. There, it clipped the edge of the cliffs and toppled over, skidding into the trees and leaving a rut of destruction in its wake.

Despite Loki’s best efforts, the Spire could not be raised again.

So the Clan became used to their lair lying on its side, and made new homes in the trees of the Star Wood. They also tunnelled into the cliffs to create a stairway to the beach and hollowed out a network of corridors and chambers on many different levels, which stretch well below sea level.

Eventually, Loki and the Lundlaevungar gained enough power to raise the Spire from where it lay. The Clan floated it out over the ocean to hang, equidistant, between the Starwood Strand and the Focal Point. It is once again supported by the strange energies emanating from the Arcanist’s home, and apart from a little course-correction to compensate for drifting, the Clan does not plan to move the Spire again.


Blue Quartz ARRIVAL OF THE BLUE PLINTH
The Clan had not been residing in the Starwood Strand for long when a strange feature was spotted on the horizon. In the hours that followed, it approached and they saw that it was a crystal plinth not unlike those harvested by the dragons of the Crystalspine Reaches. However, it was not made of Rose Quartz or Pink Chalcedony, nor Rhodochrosite or Kunzite or even Morganite. This plinth was a deep shade of blue.

When the plinth reached the cliff top alongside the fallen Spire, its inhabitants emerged: the Doctor, a dragon cursed with spontaneous shape-shifting and, thus far, thirteen known forms; the Imperial known as Tardis whose magic keeps their plinth aloft; the two Spirals, Space and Time, who help to pilot the plinth when they move it from place to place; and the Doctor’s host of companions.

The group was made welcome among the Lundlaevungar. Despite their visitors’ mysterious and unusual ways, the Clan liked the Blue Plinth’s inhabitants: they were helpful and the tales they told, though strange, were highly entertaining.

Aside from this, Odin was intrigued by the Doctor’s unique affliction, which permitted him to change not only his physical form but also his Flight: an otherwise unheard of feat. Loki, meanwhile, was fascinated by Tardis and her ability to hold the Blue Plinth in the air by herself, seemingly without effort – particularly considering the problems they had had with the Spire.

They discussed the matter with the other members of the Althing Council, and decided to extend an invitation to join the Clan.

The Doctor and his companions neither accepted nor rejected their offer, but explained that they were dedicated to adventuring, and never remained in any one place for too long. Soon enough the Blue Plinth was gone from the Lundlaevungar Territory.

Yet ever since, the Blue Plinth has returned to the Lundlaevungar on a regular basis.

Now that the Spire has been returned to the skies, the Blue Plinth can been seen in a steady orbit around it whenever the Doctor and his companions are present in the Territory.


Focal Point TAKING THE FOCAL POINT SHORELINE
It was Mimir’s idea to expand to the Focal Point. After the Spire was returned to the sky, he discovered a sandy cove on the opposite shoreline to the Starwood Strand. On the landward side it was protected by tiered cliffs, and towards the sea spits of land curved around to form a natural harbour that was all too evident to a Water dragon and a seafarer by trade. Mimir therefore sought to claim the land for the Lundlaevungar.

During his explorations, he discovered two natural caves which the tides had carved out of the cliffs. The more secretive of these he claimed as a storage space for the goods he traded, and it quickly became known as the “Smugglers’ Cache”.

The Lundlaevungar had long suspected that Mimir had at least one ship operating on his behalf in the waters surrounding their home, but it was only when the cove became part of the Clan’s territory that they had any proof of such activities. Mimir’s small fleet grows periodically as more pirates turn privateer and operate with the Althing Council’s blessing in Lundlaevungar waters.

Later, the second cave became the Clan’s Forge and the dragons who decided to live on the Focal Point shore expanded into the tiered cliffs of the Focal Point, creating homes with spectacular sea views on the terraces above the cove.


Oculus of the Eleven BOUNTY OF THE ELEMENTS
The events which later came to be known across Sornieth as the ‘Bounty of the Elements’ affected the Lundlaevungar as much as any other Arcane clan.

The first sign was when the Twisting Crescendo went still. Most of the Lundlaevungar barely noticed the absence of the westerly breeze that normally drifted through their territory. It was Sparrow and the crew of the Black Pearl who called attention to the fact that the speedy winds that blow from Starwind Bay, bringing up cool air from the Southern Icefield, had gone quiet – and left the galleon becalmed in its moorings, black sails hanging limp in the dead air. The Medium too was badly affected: the airship limped around its habitual loop of the Spire, drifting lower with every circumnavigation without the usual gusts of air to buoy it aloft.

As the windless days dragged on, it became increasingly clear that something was wrong. Njord, Mimir and Jormungandr, Corvus, and even Sol who felt little connection with the element of her hatching, began to suffer from unsettling prescient dreams. None of them received a clear message, but all were left with visions of a sea in which no bubbles rose from the deep and a sense that something was about to happen.

The Althing Council did their best to calm their clanmates, but with nothing more than foreboding to go on, there was no way to prepare for whatever was about to unfold. Then the moment arrived.

Violent tremors ripped through the Starfall Isles as the land’s crystal growths multiplied at an accelerated pace: expanding the Crystalspine Reaches upwards and outwards, and augmenting the Focal Point with new spires and turrets of chalcedony, quartz and rhodochrosite. The dragons living on the Focal Point shoreline were forced to batten down their homes to protect against enormous seismic waves created by the surge of crystal growth, and all but the highest levels of the Cliff Tunnels beneath the Starwood Strand were flooded as the shoreline was battered by the disturbed ocean.

The Spire itself was affected by turbulence, not due to any storm but because of the raw magical energies pulsing through the ley lines. The crystal plinth was pitched and tossed as if caught in a slow-motion hurricane, and was stabilised only by the collective efforts of all its inhabitants.

Thankfully, no one was badly hurt and nothing irreplaceable was damaged. However, when the land finally stilled and the ocean receded back to its usual breakers and swells, much of the territory was damaged and the Clan had to work hard to put everything to rights once more.

Even when everything was restored, the Clan’s concerns lingered. What would be the effect of such intensely increased magic? Would the usual wards be enough to protect their nests and eggs? Only time would tell.

Following the upheaval of the Bounty of the Elements, Ancient dragon breeds began to emerge across Sornieth. However, the reintroduction of first Gaolers, then Banescales, then Veilspun and so on didn't much affect the Lundlaevungar: though news of their discovery was met with amazement and academic fascination, it changed little about the Clan's daily lives. The dragons in the Lundlaevgunar view Ancient dragons in much the same was as any other and hold no prejudices against them.


Observatory OBSERVATORY OUTPOST
For years Einmyrir petitioned his father to relocate the Lundlaevungar Territory, or at least the Spire, into the heart of the Focal Point. However, Loki refused to test his luck and move the Spire again, and the rest of the Clan was reluctant to reside any closer to the intense energies radiating from the Observatory. After the Bounty of the Elements caused such upheaval to the Starfall Isles and the saturation of elemental magic began to affect dragons’ eyes, their fear only grew.

Undeterred, Einmyrir continued his pilgrimages to the home of the Arcanist, forging new paths through the altered land with the help of those he influenced towards exaltation. On one such journey, he discovered the Ancient Sanctum.

The structure is as old as dragonkind itself: a cluster of delicate spires protected by a magical force-field. It lay hidden for centuries, but was revealed once more during the Bounty of the Elements. Upon further exploration, it proved to be the home of three ‘sisters’ who had slept away the intervening ages: Destiny, Terra and Atlantis. Despite what could have been seen as the invasion of their home, these guardians of the Ancient Sanctum welcomed the Lundlaevungar. Those who wished to conduct further research or develop a better understanding of their own powers were even invited to stay. The site has since become an important outpost for the Clan.

However, much to Einmyrir’s displeasure, the sisters remain ambivalent towards the concept of exaltation. Though they play host to his novitiates and scholars on their final journey to the Observatory, they refuse to allow the Ancient Sanctum to become a training ground for those who intend to grow their strength only to serve the Arcanist.


Pickaxe DUSTCARVE DIG

River's membership with the Dragonhome Preservation Guild's meant that she received word of the Dustcarve Dig expedition ahead of most dragons living outside of Earth's territory. She made plans to travel to Dragonhome with the Doctor, who intrigued by the mysterious nature of the Guild's discovery.

Their preparations did not go unnoticed by their allies in the Lundlaevungar. Before long, whispers reached Loki and, intrigued, he tried to wrangle all the information he could from the Doctor, their companions and River herself. He wasn't enormously successful, but he did find out that they planned to travel in the Blue Plinth, the Doctor's floating home and preferred mode of transportation. With a little effort and illusion magic, he managed to hide himself and cling to the side of the crystal, and was whisked away with them.

The Blue Plinth's swift gyrascopic flight made it an uncomfortable and dizzying journey, but Loki made it to the excavation site undetected.

In the following days, Loki worked hard alongside the Guild's archeologists and the countless other dragons who followed rumours and reports to join them: first opening a tunnel, then delving deeper to discover a glowing shrine and an ancient, underground city set in an enormous cavern. Though he was tempted to join the Oculus scholars who come to study the shrine's crystal, Loki ultimately decided to explore the city and join the search for any signs of Velya's missing apprentice Fetter and those who might have taken them. He was therefore close by when a section of the cave floor collapsed into an old aquifer and rushed to help stabilise the rockfalls and rescue those in danger.

Once the ground was safe again, he was among the first dragons to enter the chamber below the city, where they found a vast number of draconic statues.

Loki was just as amazed as everyone else when the Earthshaker's magic surged and the the first of the statues came to life: Mirth, presenting himself to Velya at the forefront of the expedition. As the rest of the statues began to crack and shift, Loki found himself standing directly before a pair of dragons as their stoneshape shattered.

The two newly created dragons emerged with a joyful roar and imprinted on Loki in their first moments of life. As the thunder of breaking stone and first cries became a clamour of voices, the two introduced themselves as Valour and Zeal and offered themselves as protectors to his Clan. They have been part of the Lundlaevungar ever since.


Soldier's Supplies WARRIOR'S WAY

The first Warrior's Way began a new tradition among the Lundlaevungar. The Clan's warriors, both dragon and beastclan, are annually encouraged to enter this friendly competition and try to win glory (and new alliances) for the Lundlaevungar. Thor and Sif insist that all who wish to participate take part in training and have opportunities to test their mettle against a variety of opponents ahead of time, to best ensure they are not injured in the course of the competition.

Kvika is the most ardent supporter of and contestant in the games: she takes it very, very seriously. She fights to win and intends to one day become the Warrior's Way Champion.

Eisa is, of course, her biggest supporter. However, she is not the only dragon to attend solely as a spectator, and many of the Lundlaevungar enjoy watching the matches and cheering on the fighters. The Warrior's Way is as much a chance to mingle and forge new relationships as it is a show of martial prowess.

The Clan's smiths also attend with their wares, providing the contestants and their loved ones with supplies of high-quality weapons, armour, mementos and gifts. Another who sees the competition as an opportunity to make some extra treasure or gems is Citta: she takes her merchant stall and sells a variety of items, including bottled drinks supplied by Qlfuss and healing potions and other curatives made by the Lundlaevungar healer, Kvistr. She likewise offers the services of the Clan's wordsmiths, who will record competitors' exploits in story, stanza or song - for a fair price.

The Clan's entertainers find further opportunities to ply their trade between bouts and in the evenings. Readings, recitations, song, music and dance are all welcomed by fighters and spectators alike, and the convivial atmosphere of the Warrior's Way means that performers often receive generous tips for their efforts.


Lens, platform and runes from the Arcane exalt pillar ASTROLAB CRASH

The unexpected appearance of a giant comet above the Starfall Isles was an amazing spectacle: the Lundlaevungar rushed to the Scar's cliffs, the edges of the Terraces and the top of the Spire to watch as it arced through the sky.

However, the wonder soon turned to fear.

The shooting star was enormous, far larger than anyone had ever seen before -- and it was streaking right towards the heart of the Clan!

The Spire's residents scattered: some evacuated with hatchlings, familiars and irreplaceable treasures, while the mages and warriors threw up every protection they could muster. Brave clanmates rushed from the Focal Point and Starwood Strand to help, adding their magic and strength to the efforts to save their home.

As it descended, the comet resolved into a huge floating island topped by an arcglass dome, glowing with unmistakably Arcane runes and the purplish plasma of reentry. It swooped away from one set of cliffs and then another, as if steered by a desperate pilot, then soared overhead. Those maintaining the protection spells were bombarded by the blazing heat and ear-splitting roar of its passing.

The Spire tipped and shuddered as it was jostled in the fearsome winds and battering of magical energies — but remained afloat and undamaged.

Yet even as the mages righted the crystal, steadied its levitation and breathed heartfelt sighs of relief, it was not over: the comet was still falling. It splashed down moments later in the sea beyond the Lundlaevungar’s borders and exploded, spitting out shards of arcglass, twisted equipment, and gouts of Arcane fire.

The Lundlaevungar rushed to investigate the crash site alongside dozens of Arcane clans. They quickly discovered survivors around and within the wreckage, and offered their aid to the sinking, shattered Astrolab and its inhabitants. Afterwards, the Clan offered shelter to the Aether, housing them in the Cliff Tunnels and Terraces for as long as they wished to stay. Many moved on after a few days or weeks to find missing family and crewmates, explore the world they had only seen from afar, or simply to report to the Observatory. However, some decided to make the Lundlaevungar Territory their permanent home.

In the days following the Astrolab’s return to Sornieth, Njord found two aether eggs washed up on the shore near his cave. After determining that they were viable and almost ready to hatch, they were incubated together in the Clan’s nests and hatched together on the same day, in the midst of the Mistral Jamboree. Despite the Lundlaevungar's best efforts, their biological parents could be found, and the 'twins' joined the clan as well.


Arcane pink crystals in the sea, from the Crystalspine Reaches lair location background DECADE NEST

At the beginning of the Year of the Serpent, the Arcane Sprite Lundlaeva felt a powerful impulse to return to the Spire's original location on the anniversary of the date that Loki and Angrboda first met. The pair accompaied the sprite across the seas and arrived at the stump where the Spire had once connected to the land.

In the years since, and in the aftermath of the Bounty of the Elements, the crystals had flourished once more to form a perfect cradle - in which they found a huge and varied clutch of eggs!

All of them were starting to wobble and crack. Angrboda rushed back to the clan to fetch the clan's hatchling caretakers, Sigyn and Radulfr, while Loki and Lundlaeva remained to oversee the hatching. All too soon, fifteen fresh hatchlings filled the nest. As he looked over the new arrivals, Loki realised that his Sprite companion had been led here for a reason. These dragons were a gift - from the Gods or from fate itself - and were destined to become part of the Lundlaevungar.

The hatchlings were brought back to the Spire and raised collectively by the Clan. As such, they grew to represent many different aspects of the Lundlaevungar, depending on which mambers of the Clan and which parts of the Lair had the greatest influence on their upbringing. The Light and Shadow hatchlings became inseparable siblings, drawn inexorably to the glowing shade of the Starwood Strand. The Ice hatchling, ironically, found a mentor in Fire knight Kvika and dedicated herself to resurrecting and preserving an ancient Order of Chivalry. Some were inspired by Mimir to become pirates and smugglers privateers and traders. The hot-tempered Banescale found a use for her explosive temper as a power generator in the Cliff Tunnels, while the Arcane hatchling developed an avid interest in enchanted cybernetics. The Water hatchling turned out to be a powerful mage with an affinity for insects ...

The Spire was Loki and Angrboda’s first home, and the place where they met.

The top is roughly flat and oval, covered with a lawn of wild grasses, while below the naked rock hangs in two tapering spikes. It floats, suspended by Arcane energies, with no apparent means of support. When Loki and Angrboda found it, the Spire was connected to the land by the two spike, though these had weathered to be so narrow that they were no longer a support and were simply a tether: it was the magic holding it upright even then. The Spire maintains a consistent height above ground at all times. It does occasionally drift with particularly strong air currents, fluctuations in the magical field of the Starfall Isles, and when it is hit by bad weather; however, most of the time no intervention is required to maintain a stationary position. The Spire does have a tendency to rotate, most often widdershins (anticlockwise). This is very slow and barely noticeable from within the Spire; it may complete one rotation each day. Visitors, new arrivals and those who do not habitually stay within the Spire can find this disorientating. [/columns] [br][columns][size=4][color=black]The interior of the Spire is divided into six layers. The main entrance is located on what is now the second layer, roughly one third down the total length of the Spire, and leads into the largest space in the Lair. This is in fact the original entrance and the first cave that Angrboda hollowed out. What was once an all-purpose space is now a large communal chamber where meetings and social gatherings take place. Apart from the main entrance, there are no windows; supplemental light is provided by the Lightwell, the fire-pit, and Glowing Pocket Baubles. Spiral staircases at either end of the main hall lead to the other layers, following the outer curves of the Spire. The stairs themselves are ‘open’ and roughly wedge-shaped, which can be somewhat disconcerting for heavier dragons! However, magic reinforces each step to ensure that even if they break away from the wall, they remain in place; this has happened in a couple of places throughout the Spire. There is enough space in the stairwells to allow smaller dragons to fly up and down. The stairwells are lit by small slit windows, none of which are large enough to be used as an entry point except by small familiars. At night, Glowing Pocket Baubles provide illumination. Periodic landings provide access to the interior chambers.[nextcol][center][IMG alt="Diagram of the interior of The Spire, showing the Lightwell, Chimney, location of the Vault and Hoard, and the 5 layers"]http://imgur.com/Un6KW65.png[/IMG] [i]Diagram showing the interior layout (not to scale)[/i] [color=transparent]. .[/color][/center][/columns] Loki’s chambers are located in the topmost layer of the Spire, and are the largest personal quarters. He shares these with Angrboda. Also on the top layer is the Clan’s library, where quiet study is undertaken. This also serves as a teaching room. On the third layer, the structure splits into the Spire’s distinctive pair of asymmetrical spikes. The shorter spike contains a single room: the Hoard. This is directly accessible from the main hall. The long spike contains four more layers, three of which are residential, and finally culminating in a Vault layer at the base of the spike. [br][columns][item=enamor][nextcol][size=5][color=indigo][font=Century Gothic][b]THE LIGHTWELL[/b][/color][/font][/size][/columns] The Spire is predominantly lit by the Lightwell. This structure runs vertically down the longer of the Spire’s two spikes. It is essentially a cylindrical hollow, the outer wall of which is a super-fine layer of crystal that allows light to penetrate. Mirrors positioned at strategic intervals help to capture sunlight and reflect it down to the base of the Spire. All of the personal quarters connect to the Lightwell. Each chamber has at least one ‘window’ looking out into the Lightwell, with a shallow basin outside for collecting small amounts of drinking water. These windows also allow for quick communication between layers. However, as the Lightwell is also something of an echo-chamber, this can be quite disruptive. Some of the ‘windows’ are large enough for small dragon breeds and flying familiars to use them as access points. [br][columns][item=champion's purse][nextcol][size=5][color=indigo][font=Century Gothic][b]THE HOARD[/b][/color][/font][/size][/columns] Located in the shorter of the Spire’s spikes, the Hoard is a repository for all of the Clan’s communal belongings, including food. A central column hangs from the ceiling to the deepest point of the spike, and the spiral staircase follows this down. Large shelves and storage spaces have been cut into the walls and column, to ensure that there is space enough for everything. This is the only room in the Spire not connected to the Lightwell, and as such is one of the darkest. Some natural light does penetrate through a number of small windows cut into the outer walls. These are all glazed or barred to permit entry even to hatchlings or tiny familiars, as a security precaution. [br][columns][item=iron treasure chest][nextcol][size=5][color=indigo][font=Century Gothic][b]THE VAULT[/b][/color][/font][/size][/columns] The Vault was one of the last additions to the Spire, in the deepest point of the long spike, and contains all of the Clan’s treasures as well as all of the Lundlaevungar coin. It is lit by the Lightwell, which here tapers to an open point. There are no windows or air holes, and the base of the Lightwell is protected with a shield charm to prevent theft. Some small dragons who are able to use the Lightwell as an access point can request permission to access the well this way. At the very base of the Vault is the Clan’s well, which was created as a result of the Lightwell. Rainwater and condensation collects and runs down the length of the Lightwell, falling ultimately into a pool. The Clan uses this as its main source of water, both for drinking and for washing, and is careful to ensure that there is no possibility of flooding. Corvus is the Clan’s Vaultkeeper. As he is from the Water Flight, he can manipulate conditions in the Vault to ensure that nothing ends up damp as a result of close proximity to the well. Usually dragons use their personal basins in the Lightwell as a water supply, but when large quantities of water are needed they normally make the trip down to the Vault. However, lazy dragons may call on their Water Flight friends to summon some up the Lightwell for them!

The Spire maintains a consistent height above ground at all times. It does occasionally drift with particularly strong air currents, fluctuations in the magical field of the Starfall Isles, and when it is hit by bad weather; however, most of the time no intervention is required to maintain a stationary position. The Spire does have a tendency to rotate, most often widdershins (anticlockwise). This is very slow and barely noticeable from within the Spire; it may complete one rotation each day. Visitors, new arrivals and those who do not habitually stay within the Spire can find this disorientating.

The interior of the Spire is divided into six layers.

The main entrance is located on what is now the second layer, roughly one third down the total length of the Spire, and leads into the largest space in the Lair. This is in fact the original entrance and the first cave that Angrboda hollowed out. What was once an all-purpose space is now a large communal chamber where meetings and social gatherings take place. Apart from the main entrance, there are no windows; supplemental light is provided by the Lightwell, the fire-pit, and Glowing Pocket Baubles.

Spiral staircases at either end of the main hall lead to the other layers, following the outer curves of the Spire. The stairs themselves are ‘open’ and roughly wedge-shaped, which can be somewhat disconcerting for heavier dragons! However, magic reinforces each step to ensure that even if they break away from the wall, they remain in place; this has happened in a couple of places throughout the Spire. There is enough space in the stairwells to allow smaller dragons to fly up and down. The stairwells are lit by small slit windows, none of which are large enough to be used as an entry point except by small familiars. At night, Glowing Pocket Baubles provide illumination. Periodic landings provide access to the interior chambers.

Loki’s chambers are located in the topmost layer of the Spire, and are the largest personal quarters. He shares these with Angrboda. Also on the top layer is the Clan’s library, where quiet study is undertaken. This also serves as a teaching room.

On the third layer, the structure splits into the Spire’s distinctive pair of asymmetrical spikes. The shorter spike contains a single room: the Hoard. This is directly accessible from the main hall. The long spike contains four more layers, three of which are residential, and finally culminating in a Vault layer at the base of the spike.


Enamor THE LIGHTWELL
The Spire is predominantly lit by the Lightwell. This structure runs vertically down the longer of the Spire’s two spikes. It is essentially a cylindrical hollow, the outer wall of which is a super-fine layer of crystal that allows light to penetrate. Mirrors positioned at strategic intervals help to capture sunlight and reflect it down to the base of the Spire.

All of the personal quarters connect to the Lightwell. Each chamber has at least one ‘window’ looking out into the Lightwell, with a shallow basin outside for collecting small amounts of drinking water.

These windows also allow for quick communication between layers. However, as the Lightwell is also something of an echo-chamber, this can be quite disruptive.

Some of the ‘windows’ are large enough for small dragon breeds and flying familiars to use them as access points.


Champion's Purse THE HOARD
Located in the shorter of the Spire’s spikes, the Hoard is a repository for all of the Clan’s communal belongings, including food. A central column hangs from the ceiling to the deepest point of the spike, and the spiral staircase follows this down. Large shelves and storage spaces have been cut into the walls and column, to ensure that there is space enough for everything.

This is the only room in the Spire not connected to the Lightwell, and as such is one of the darkest. Some natural light does penetrate through a number of small windows cut into the outer walls. These are all glazed or barred to permit entry even to hatchlings or tiny familiars, as a security precaution.


Iron Treasure Chest THE VAULT
The Vault was one of the last additions to the Spire, in the deepest point of the long spike, and contains all of the Clan’s treasures as well as all of the Lundlaevungar coin. It is lit by the Lightwell, which here tapers to an open point. There are no windows or air holes, and the base of the Lightwell is protected with a shield charm to prevent theft. Some small dragons who are able to use the Lightwell as an access point can request permission to access the well this way.

At the very base of the Vault is the Clan’s well, which was created as a result of the Lightwell. Rainwater and condensation collects and runs down the length of the Lightwell, falling ultimately into a pool. The Clan uses this as its main source of water, both for drinking and for washing, and is careful to ensure that there is no possibility of flooding.

Corvus is the Clan’s Vaultkeeper. As he is from the Water Flight, he can manipulate conditions in the Vault to ensure that nothing ends up damp as a result of close proximity to the well.

Usually dragons use their personal basins in the Lightwell as a water supply, but when large quantities of water are needed they normally make the trip down to the Vault. However, lazy dragons may call on their Water Flight friends to summon some up the Lightwell for them!

Flight Rising Treasure Coin Corvus keeps meticulous records of what the Clan stores in the Vault.

They meant for the Spire to spin gently above the trees, while they expanded their home into the woods below.

Since the Spire's return to the skies, the areas of the Starwood Strand claimed by the Lundlaevungar have remained in use.

The borders are patrolled by the Clan's warriors and guarded by Familiars and spells alike. The Lundlaevungar's long residence in the Star Wood also made their presence well-known, and allowed the Clan to map out the woods and their dangers.

It is the name given to the welt left in the landscape by the crash and the area where the Spire once lay. The ground here is mostly exposed rock or rocky earth. Plant life originally found it difficult to survive here, though grasses are now starting to encroach on the rock. During rainy periods, water collects in the deepest part of the Scar, forming a pool, and sometimes a small waterfall can occur over the cliff onto the beach. The Scar is most often used as a training arena for young fighters. It has also been used for communal festivals and large, open-air gatherings. The area near the Scar along the cliff top was cleared of trees by the Lundlaevungar while they were living in the area. A small clearing was also created at the ‘top’ of the fallen Spire. Both of these areas support grasses and wildflowers, and the dragons’ garden of flowers, herbs and crops is tended by those who live on this shoreline. Low-lying plant life is starting to spread out from the trees again to reclaim this area, though no trees have so far started to grow there again. A series of tunnels and chambers riddle the cliffs below the Scar, stretching for miles in every direction beneath the Starwood Strand. The tunnels were created while the Spire lay among the trees, and the main entrance is on the southern side of the Scar. However, there are also many more secret access points scattered throughout the Star Wood and several in caves along the cliffs. Some of these are protected by magic and require passwords or spells to open, while others are hidden by more commonplace means.

The settlement is based around the cove that Mimir originally found and claimed for the Clan and in the terraces immediately above it. Unlike the vast Cliff Tunnels beneath the Star Wood, the Lundlaevungar’s dwellings here are modest in size and style, though they are comfortable and generally lighter and more airy than rooms elsewhere in the territory. Members of the clan who make their homes elsewhere enjoy visiting the Focal Point to take a break from their normal duties. There is an atmosphere of calm and respite to the cove and the terraces, scarcely broken even when Mimir is receiving or loading goods, or the sounds of Jorsalafar in his forge spill out onto the beach. [br][columns][item=sand][nextcol][size=5][color=indigo][font=Century Gothic][b]SMUGGLER'S COVE[/b][/color][/font][/size][/columns] The white sand beach of the Smuggler’s Cove backs directly onto the terraced cliffs of the Focal Point. The waves that hit the shore are gentle as the cove is a natural harbour, protected by two long spits of land that curve around to create something like a lagoon. The sand is fine and smooth, and becomes very hot in the summer sunshine. The lowest level of the cliffs is taller than the rest. When Mimir first found the area, he discovered two natural caves there: one a small cavern, and the second barely more than a fissure between two seams of rock. Further investigation of this crack showed that inside, hidden behind a jagged corner of stone, it widened into a much larger space. Mimir claimed it for his own, both as a place to store the goods that he smuggles and trades and as his home. He kept the entrance as small and secret as he was able, but expanded the interior to create a large storage area. Behind this storeroom, he made himself a comfortable and even lavish home. He has few visitors, but those who do venture beyond the crates and hoarded trinkets of the “Smuggler’s Cache” are surprised to find a little cavern draped in swags of plush fabrics, furnished in dark wood and with a boarded floor, candle-lit and warm – and in the centre Mimir counting the day’s earnings into a chest.

This may technically make them privateers, rather than pirates, as they operate with the Lundlaevungar's blessing - but Mimir knows better than the quibble on the terminology. For some, such as the Pearl, their alleigance comes in the form of a percentage of plunder. For others, like the Falcon, it means transporting goods as part of above-board ventures and shady dealings alike. The captains may also be called upon to assist in defending the Lundlaevungar's lands.

Jorsalafar never felt entirely comfortable in the Spire and wanted his forge on solid land. At Eisa’s insistence, Kvika reluctantly assisted him in hollowing out more of the cliff to create a larger and deeper cavern, which would allow him to live on the beach as well as work there. Thanks to his Fire origins, Jorsalafar is able to conjure up flames with very little smoke, thus enabling him to perform his metalwork in the deepest part of the cavern where the sound of hammering is dampened by the solid rock. He is therefore able to continue his smithing without disturbing the dragons who live on the Terraces above. The interior walls and floor of the Forge are glassy black and smooth: Jorsalafar and Kvika actually heated the rock to its melting point and then slowly cooled it to create an obsidian finish. Jorsalafar uses magic to keep his furnace burning at all times. The interior of the Forge is therefore always a few degrees hotter than elsewhere in the Lundlaevungar Territory, and there is a constant haze of smoke around the high ceilings. [br][columns][item=small block of granite][nextcol][size=5][color=indigo][font=Century Gothic][b]THE TERRACES[/b][/color][/font][/size][/columns] In the tiered cliffs that rise steadily above the cove, the Clan has dug out a series of comfortable cave dwellings which are now known as the Terraces. Unlike the Cliff Tunnels on the opposite shore, these only extend one room deep into the rock, allowing them to be naturally lit during the day. The walls are rough-hewn but have been whitewashed, and the rooms are both light and airy with arching windows of varying sizes that look out over the cove and the sea beyond. Shutters protect the interior from the weather, when needed, though Water and Wind residents tend to use their magic as an aid in this.

Focal Point Map Icon THE FOCAL POINT SHORELINE
.
.
.
.
The Lundlaevungar territory does not stretch far inland at the Focal Point. The settlement is based around the cove that Mimir originally found and claimed for the Clan and in the terraces immediately above it.

Unlike the vast Cliff Tunnels beneath the Star Wood, the Lundlaevungar’s dwellings here are modest in size and style, though they are comfortable and generally lighter and more airy than rooms elsewhere in the territory.

Members of the clan who make their homes elsewhere enjoy visiting the Focal Point to take a break from their normal duties. There is an atmosphere of calm and respite to the cove and the terraces, scarcely broken even when Mimir is receiving or loading goods, or the sounds of Jorsalafar in his forge spill out onto the beach.


Sand SMUGGLER'S COVE
The white sand beach of the Smuggler’s Cove backs directly onto the terraced cliffs of the Focal Point. The waves that hit the shore are gentle as the cove is a natural harbour, protected by two long spits of land that curve around to create something like a lagoon. The sand is fine and smooth, and becomes very hot in the summer sunshine.

The lowest level of the cliffs is taller than the rest. When Mimir first found the area, he discovered two natural caves there: one a small cavern, and the second barely more than a fissure between two seams of rock.

Further investigation of this crack showed that inside, hidden behind a jagged corner of stone, it widened into a much larger space. Mimir claimed it for his own, both as a place to store the goods that he smuggles and trades and as his home. He kept the entrance as small and secret as he was able, but expanded the interior to create a large storage area. Behind this storeroom, he made himself a comfortable and even lavish home. He has few visitors, but those who do venture beyond the crates and hoarded trinkets of the “Smuggler’s Cache” are surprised to find a little cavern draped in swags of plush fabrics, furnished in dark wood and with a boarded floor, candle-lit and warm – and in the centre Mimir counting the day’s earnings into a chest.


Pirate Flag Icon from the Voyage of the Tenacity Scene THE FLEET
From his seat in the Smuggler's Cache, Mimir oversees a modest fleet of seafaring and skyroving vessels:

The Black Pearl
The Joyful Damnation
The Revenge
The Medium
The Millennium Falcon

Though the captains of these ships remain staunchly independent, they offer Mimir their fealty in exchange for safe harbour in Smuggler's Cove, or elsewhere in the clan's territory. This may technically make them privateers, rather than pirates, as they operate with the Lundlaevungar's blessing - but Mimir knows better than the quibble on the terminology.

For some, such as the Pearl, their alleigance comes in the form of a percentage of plunder. For others, like the Falcon, it means transporting goods as part of above-board ventures and shady dealings alike. The captains may also be called upon to assist in defending the Lundlaevungar's lands.

The Black Pearl:
This beautiful three-masted galleon is reputedly the swiftest ship in the Starfall Isles, and perhaps in all of Sornieth if Captain Sparrow's claims are to be believed. As a former ghost ship, the Black Pearl retains her formidable reputation and legendary speed along with her black sails, but these days her mixed crew of dragons and beastclan are no longer cursed and much less bloodthirsty for it.

With Sparrow at the helm and Commodore serving as first mate, the Black Pearl can be most often be found chasing the horzion in search of hidden treasures.

Storyteller's Strings The Joyful Damnation:
The galleon known as The Joyful Damnation is captained by the pirate rogue Corazón de Ballena. It has survived being overtaken by a cursed crew and getting rammed by a whale to become became the primary mode of transport for the Oxventure Guild. Thanks to Dob, it has a literal skeleton crew.

Metallurgist's Forgetools THE FORGE
The second cave on the Smuggler’s Cove beach was claimed by Jorsalafar when he joined the Clan, and it quickly became known as the Forge.

Jorsalafar never felt entirely comfortable in the Spire and wanted his forge on solid land. At Eisa’s insistence, Kvika reluctantly assisted him in hollowing out more of the cliff to create a larger and deeper cavern, which would allow him to live on the beach as well as work there. Thanks to his Fire origins, Jorsalafar is able to conjure up flames with very little smoke, thus enabling him to perform his metalwork in the deepest part of the cavern where the sound of hammering is dampened by the solid rock. He is therefore able to continue his smithing without disturbing the dragons who live on the Terraces above.

The interior walls and floor of the Forge are glassy black and smooth: Jorsalafar and Kvika actually heated the rock to its melting point and then slowly cooled it to create an obsidian finish.

Jorsalafar uses magic to keep his furnace burning at all times. The interior of the Forge is therefore always a few degrees hotter than elsewhere in the Lundlaevungar Territory, and there is a constant haze of smoke around the high ceilings.


Small Block of Granite THE TERRACES
In the tiered cliffs that rise steadily above the cove, the Clan has dug out a series of comfortable cave dwellings which are now known as the Terraces. Unlike the Cliff Tunnels on the opposite shore, these only extend one room deep into the rock, allowing them to be naturally lit during the day.

The walls are rough-hewn but have been whitewashed, and the rooms are both light and airy with arching windows of varying sizes that look out over the cove and the sea beyond. Shutters protect the interior from the weather, when needed, though Water and Wind residents tend to use their magic as an aid in this. Each dragon who makes their home at the Focal Point has a small suite of rooms, each slightly different, as well as a patch of the flat terrace outside to call their garden. Some simply keep this area grassed over or let it grow wild, while others enjoy planting flowers or their favourite vegetables.

The Terraces cover a significant portion of the shoreline, horizontally and vertically, with the option to extend Northwards should the Clan need more space.

Numerous smaller chunks of quartz are in synchronous orbit of the Spire. Many are large enough for Clan members to perch upon, though adults who choose to do so run the risk of causing the rock to slowly sink. Hatchlings often use these in games of aerial hide-and-seek and as place to store their individual treasures away from parental eyes.

There are two striking features in the skies around the Spire: the Blue Plinth and the Medium.

The inhabitants of the Medium, meanwhile, keep themselves to themselves and remain part of the Clan by proxy as their home is so close to the Spire, and they are too few and too young to survive alone.


Blue Quartz THE BLUE PLINTH
A floating plinth made entirely of dark blue quartz is the home of the shapeshifting Doctor and their companions. No one is quite sure how four dragons and so many familiars fit into such a relatively small space, and those who might know the answer are resolutely not telling. There is speculation that the plinth is larger on the inside …

The Medium is an airship: a vast round envelope with blue and green panels, patched with chequerboard cloth, below which hangs the purple-grey form of a meteor.

These days, the meteor is well-camouflaged behind gantries, external decks and the aerodynamic curves of the ship’s stabilising fins and keel.

Though the Crystalspine Reaches was the most affected, the Focal Point also felt the surges of power and, along the paths of ley lines where the magical energies run the strongest, sections of the island were sent into disarray as the land grew and shifted in violent spurts. These tectonic shockwaves revealed the gateway to an Ancient Sanctum. It had long since been abandoned. In time, layer after layer of crystal had grown over its once-elegant spires and closed off its hallways, and for years it lay utterly forgotten. Only a sheath of Arcane magic, maintained by Lightning technology, saved the dragon-made structures beneath from complete destruction. Einmyrir found the freshly revealed entrance during one of his pilgrimages to commune with the Arcanist and deliver new scholars to the Observatory. His poor eyesight meant that he was unable to explore beyond the very entrance, but even from his glimpses he knew he had discovered something special – not some cave in the rock, but a construction that had been swallowed by time. Upon his return to the Spire, the Althing Council sent a small group of dragons to further explore the new phenomenon.

arcane_3.png ANCIENT SANCTUM
.

.
.
The Ancient Sanctum was discovered after the turbulent proliferation of Arcane’s crystal formations during the Bounty of the Elements. Though the Crystalspine Reaches was the most affected, the Focal Point also felt the surges of power and, along the paths of ley lines where the magical energies run the strongest, sections of the island were sent into disarray as the land grew and shifted in violent spurts. These tectonic shockwaves revealed the gateway to an Ancient Sanctum.

It had long since been abandoned. In time, layer after layer of crystal had grown over its once-elegant spires and closed off its hallways, and for years it lay utterly forgotten. Only a sheath of Arcane magic, maintained by Lightning technology, saved the dragon-made structures beneath from complete destruction.

Einmyrir found the freshly revealed entrance during one of his pilgrimages to commune with the Arcanist and deliver new scholars to the Observatory. His poor eyesight meant that he was unable to explore beyond the very entrance, but even from his glimpses he knew he had discovered something special – not some cave in the rock, but a construction that had been swallowed by time. Upon his return to the Spire, the Althing Council sent a small group of dragons to further explore the new phenomenon. When they stepped inside, the carved walls responded to their presence – their Breath – and glowed with a subtle light and energy that encouraged them onwards. Inside, there were tools and lenses from an age long past and runes written in a form of Draconic so old it had not been spoken in thousands of years.

There were also three dragons, who woke from an enchanted slumber to greet them.

Destiny, Terra and Atlantis call themselves ‘Ancients’ and claim to have slept almost since the dawn of dragonkind. They explained to the Lundlaevungar that their Sanctum stands at a crossing-point of several powerful Arcane ley lines and was originally built, alongside several others in the Starfall Isles, as a prototype for the still-operational elemental Sanctums that are now dotted at strategic points across Sornieth. Loki was fascinated by the research that had been conducted already, and excited at the possibility of discovering more ways to protect his family and friends from unpredictable surges of magical energy.

Recognising his good intentions, the guardians of the Sanctum opened their doors and their home became part of the Lundlaevungar territory.

Since then, repairs have begun throughout the towers and corridors and both researchers and adepts have taken up residence with the hope of learning more about magic. The scientists take advantage of the Ancient Sanctum’s technology and observational equipment to further their knowledge, while those taking a more spiritual approach make the most of the powerful force that flows through the location via the ley lines to focus their meditation and enhance their abilities and understanding.

The Sanctum also provides overnight lodging to most of Einmyrir’s novitiates before they make their final journey to the Observatory.

The pride and joy of her captain, Solo, the Millennium Falcon may not look like much, but her battered appearance belies an impressive reputation. The ship is one of the fastest in the whole of Sornieth and boasts an impressive history of outrunning all kinds of vessels, and making all kinds of illicit deliveries, in her time. Despite her size, she can easily be crewed by just two dragons: most often Solo and Chewbacca. With a generous hold and plenty of secret compartments she’s a natural asset to Mimir’s smuggling operation, though these days the Millennium Falcon is most often found running supplies to the Ancient Sanctum.

Dragons and Beastclan alike are permitted to follow their own tenets and beliefs, provided that these do no harm to others and they do not force others to agree to their point of view. This has caused some tension between Einmyrir and other members of the Clan because of his obsession with the Arcanist. However, broadly speaking, the dragons and Beastclan of the Lundlaevungar are accepting of one another. Although individual Clan members are allowed their own beliefs, it is frowned upon to jeopardise the Lundlaevungar’s relations with other Clans or with local Beastclans because of personal prejudices. Thankfully, this has not yet been a problem, though Odin and Loki are careful that one of them makes this clear to new arrivals. Each member of the Lundlaevungar is accorded equal respect, regardless of how long they have been a member of the Clan, and regardless of their skills and abilities. [br][columns][item=Arcane Runestone][nextcol][size=5][color=indigo][font=Century Gothic][b]THE ALTHING COUNCIL[/b][/color][/font][/size][/columns] Loki is the leader of the Lundlaevungar, but his word is not law. The Clan is governed by the Althing Council: a group of dragons whose skills and interests lie in vastly different areas, and who pool their knowledge and ideas to ensure that the Clan’s future is fruitful. The Althing Council is made up of Loki, Lundlaeva, Angrboda, Thor and Odin. Each of these dragons brings a different area of expertise to the table. In matters of magic, Loki remains the Clan’s foremost authority and his ruling is unquestioned in this regard. Thor is the Clan’s military commander; in the unlikely event that the Lundlaevungar ever went to war, it is he who would lead the troops into battle and plan out the defences of their home. Odin is the greatest politician of the four and primarily deals with the Clan’s relationships with outsiders, though with a great deal of support from Frigga. Angrboda, meanwhile, knows the inner workings of the Clan better than any other; this allows her to see how their plans might affect the dragons who make up the Clan. She also brings a great deal of experience in battle to the table, and in some respects is superior at planning defensive strategies than Thor. Once a year during the Month of Dragons’ Rest, the Althing Council holds a formal meeting in the main chamber of the Spire. This meeting is known simply as ‘the Althing’. As Dragons’ Rest is one of the winter months, and not dedicated to a specific deity, all members of the Clan are therefore able to attend without interrupting their personal pilgrimages or trade expeditions. The Althing traditionally takes place over several days immediately prior to the Night of the Nocturne celebrations, allowing the Clan to conduct their most serious business before the trickery begins. All of the Lundlaevungar have a voice at the Althing; the only rule is that everyone must wait their turn, and not speak over one another. This is stringently enforced by Angrboda, who believes in the equality they have established. The Althing gives the Lundlaevungar an opportunity to make official requests, and also gives the Council the chance to discuss any matters that affect the whole Clan. The Althing also allows the Lundlaevungar to air any grievances they might have: both parties are given the opportunity to speak before the whole Clan, as are any other dragons with relevant information, before members of the Council make an official ruling. This happens rarely: the dragons of the Lundlaevungar prefer to work out their problems privately during the course of the year, and it is only in extreme cases that this system is used. As the Althing serves as a prelude to the Night of the Nocturne not everything is serious: there are evenings of storytelling, poetry recitals, songs, feasting, and general merriment. This is the one time of year that the whole Clan is guaranteed to be together, and they make the most of the occasion. Everyone traditionally remains in the Spire for the Night of the Nocturne celebrations, rather than dispersing back to their usual homes across the territory as soon as the Althing is over, which makes this one of the most special occasions in the Sornieth calendar for the Clan. Loki sometimes convenes the Althing Council at other times throughout the year, though in a much more informal capacity. Usually these meetings are little more than a casual discussion. Other members of the Clan will always be invited if the discussion is relevant to them or their area of expertise. Individual members of the Council habitually talk with one another in turn before coming to a decision, rather than gathering the whole group. However, more often than not, the choices made by the Clan’s leaders are influenced by the opinions of other Council members, and are not made alone. Loki greatly values the input of the Althing Council, and enjoys hearing from the whole of the Clan at the Althing each year. [br][columns][item=Arcanist Meteorite Miniature][nextcol][size=5][color=indigo][font=Century Gothic][b]SCHOLARS OF THE ARCANIST[/b][/color][/font][/size][/columns] The Clan has a complex relationship with the Arcanist. The effects of Arcane energies on Loki and Angrboda’s offspring have created a certain ambivalence towards the Arcanist’s power, and in particular towards his lack of control – or, as some see it, his lack of care. In more recent times, the Clan has also become a haven for others who have been similarly affected by the magic of the Starfall Isles. It is difficult for many to see the most extreme of these mutations as anything other than a curse. Loki knows – partly from communion with the Arcane Sprite Lundlaeva, partly through his own intuition – that the Arcanist has no intention to harm the residents of the Starfall Isles. He, like many of the Arcane dragons who serve him, is simply blinkered by his focus, and fails to see the harm his great power might do. The majority of the Lundlaevungar therefore view the Arcanist as a mostly benevolent but sometimes incompetent ruler, rather than as their god. They are broadly supportive of the Arcanist, though there are few who would incubate a nest without first setting up proper wards with Loki’s assistance. Often the Lundlaevungar are among the first to volunteer when the Observatory calls for assistance in resolving an experiment gone wrong. Only Einmyrir openly worships the Arcanist as a deity, and his dedication borders on the fanatic. He has sworn to send all of his own offspring to the Observatory, and attempts to convince as many additional dragons as he can to exalt themselves to the Arcanist. Loki allows this, for Einmyrir is still his son and exaltation is the highest of honours. However, along with the rest of the Lundlaevungar, he views Einmyrir’s actions and methods with some distaste.

She sits at the centre of a web of connections that span across the breadth of Sornieth, which she maintains with dilligent care. Calm even in the face of heated tempers, knowledgeable on a wide range of subjects, and possessing a look of disappointment so profound that it has caused even the likes of Odin and Loki to shrink in shame, she is more than capable of navigating the nuances of inter-clan, inter-Flight and even inter-species politics. Her son Baldr is her apprentice and proxy. Though he does not have his mother's unassailable serenity, nor her experience, he understands the niceties of diplomacy and Frigga trusts both judgement and opinion. If she is needed in two places at once, Baldr is often dispatched in her stead. Otherwise, the two are frequently seen attending functions and meetings side by side, with Baldr acting as his mother's aide. Radiata takes responsibilty for the clan's relationships within the Starfall Isles, particularly with nearby lairs. She is also the Clan's Arcane Liaison, and as such is the first point of contact within the Lundlaevungar for the Flight's various official organisations: the Starfall Planning Committee, the First Galactic Bank, the Supernova Initiative, the Disaster Prevention & Mitigation Task Force, and so on. Her duties include keeping abreast of the latest news from the Observatory and relaying anything of importance or interest to the Althing Council and any others who might need or want to know.

He is also in casual contact with the small numbers of Kitsune, Fauns and Manticores who live close to or within the Lundlaevungar territory. Over time, he has established a rapport with the Beastclan leaders and elders, and has earned both their respect and trust. He has even been asked by several Beastclan factions to mediate between them and other dragon lairs: a duty he takes very seriously, and views as the greatest honour that could be bestowed upon him. There are fewer Maren, Serthis and Harpies in the vicinity of the Lundlaevungar territory, though the Clan has largely positive relationships with these groups. Njord and Jormungandr, who frequent the waters between the Starfall Isles and Focal Point, maintain an arrangement with the Maren schools to the north: these Maren freely hunt in the Lundlaevungar territory. The ever-changing Serthis sects in the southern Starwood Strand and the Harpy flocks around Starwind Bay on the borders of the Windswept Plateau are less easily reached, though Citta finds opportunities to trade with them when she can. Yngvi is the clan's envoy to the Starwood Strand's Dryads and Mith. He ensures that their territories are clearly marked to avoid unintentional hostility, and does all he can to foster an amicable coixistence.

Arcanist Meteorite Miniature SCHOLARS OF THE ARCANIST
The Clan has a complex relationship with the Arcanist.

Then Loki found out about a dragon, known only as "Traitor", lurking in the depths of one of Sornieth's most treacherous dungeons. Against the advice of his Clanmates, he ventured in ...

After their events, the clan members wandered the festival grounds, enjoying the other activities. Skadi somehow found herself at the "Adopt-a-Familiar" booth run by an energetic Spiral. The next thing she knew, Skadi had a native to the Boreal Woods (a Nochnyr) to take back to her clan with her. Jormungandr visited one of the winter gear booths and came out the proud owner of an Ice Pick. Skald went into a nearby booth with more of a fashion slant and settled on a black and white flair scarf to guard against the chill in the air. On his way out, a shy hatchling approached him, complimented him on his performance, and handed him a flower before scurrying off. Although their clan didn't make it onto the podium this year, they performed very respectably and impressed the judges.

Mayhem at the Mysterious Market


The Shifting Emporium was a temptation Stark simply couldn't resist. The market was filled with things to appeal to every Lightning dragon: technological marvels, sparking curios, strange machinery, enchanted blueprints and much more. However, his exploration was interrupted when he became embroiled in events beyond his control ...

Thankfully, Stark's friends noticed that he was missing and, after a frantic search of the Emporium, Cap found him and brought him home to be healed. Stark does not like to recall any part of the incident.
