[img]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/88kpwxzlbfnurz4/Cove.png[/img] [size=2] Welcome to [i]The Cove.[/i] An enclosed bay surrounded by cliffs and jagged rocks, leading out to the sea of a thousand currents. The water glistenes in the sun as the fresh breezy air warms your skin with its touch. The Cove is a sheltered but spacious place, on the edge of the land, far from any inland clans, and protected from deep sea clans by the rocks in the bay's mouth. Not only is the sand warm and silken, but the grass that leads towards the nearing forests is fresh and the shade is cool. Under the sparkling waves which lap the shores serenely lies a generous shallow then a sharp decline to where dazzling sunlight illuminates the otherwise shadowy depths. Huge coral structures at the bottom stare up at you, almost obscuring dark entrances in their midst. Down into the pitch black, far past the winding labrynth of tunnels and caverns, a clan thrives in the home they have made there. A clan who has staken it's territory to be that of this cove and its surrounding perimeter. It is a strange clan, a mismatch of friends and allies who were bound together under special circumstances. They are mostly unrelated by blood, although families have formed through coalition and generations have now passed through it several times. They are diverse in species and bloodline, as well as in viewpoints and personality, although the one thing they have in common is they all wish to live peacefully and happily with everyone.

[columns] [center][img]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/e9teerh1xqhnrn2/Orla.png[/img][/center] [nextcol] [center][font=Century Gothic][size=7] Ø R L A I T H E [/size][/font] [size=4][i]The clan leader[/i][/size][/center] ----- [size=3] This was the one they called [i]Orlaithe.[/i] She was the clan leader and was described as an ancient soul reborn in youth. Only a couple of decades old, physically she was indeed classed as young, but gazing into her eyes, it was evident she was wise beyond her years. They always looked vacant, her eyes- the tone and saturation of a grey storm, wild and turbulent but somehow always further away than anyone else could grasp. Her scales were glazed with a glistening azure opal which shimmered like the sky reflected on the ocean. Long dreadlocks the color of the golden sun were twisted into a misshapen bun atop her head, with various white feathers and beads woven artfully into the mess. Tiny bird skulls and bones on string looped from her locks, swaying gently in the refreshing sea breeze. She turned, her hair suddenly gaining a life of its own, twirling in the air like clumsy ribbons. When she sang, it took their breath away. A whimsical sound, boasting unearthly notes and eerie harmonies she poured her heart and emotion into it, only relenting when her stories had come to an end. Sometimes, others joined in. Other fae's like her mate who knew the language the leader sang in, and together they could move their hearts beyond words. Those who spoke no word of fae didn't need to, for the raw music spoke for itself and they enjoyed the comfort of the feelings the songs brought well enough. Many who had heard of her only in tales wondered how she led her clan so strongly and protected the desired Cove from other clans who sought to steal it, but none could doubt her leadership after seeing her amongst her dragons. For those in her clan had ultimate trust in her and faith that she would lead them to prosperity. They knew that she was the one who could keep their children safe, and they carried out the measures she took to ensure their survival and success. For she was not alone. Eleven of her clan were trusted council members, each with an important role. Hunters, defenders, gatherers, advisers, recruiters, negotiators and more who each had the ear of their leader to report to and relay concerns from the clan members. They helped ease the burden of her responsibility and were role models worthy of idolising amongst the clan. Of course, all was not so simple all of the time, every clan has its ups and downs including hers but she worked tirelessly to ensure happiness was the most common atmosphere in the clan. [/columns]

[center][size=7][font=Century Gothic]THE COUNCIL[/font][/size] [size=3][i]Twelve highly esteemed individuals who make important decisions regarding the clan[/i][/size] [/center] [size=2]Daire, Orlaithe's mate and best friend. Extremely laid back with a que sera attitude to life, he often gives a level head, rational viewpoint to the conversation and is the first to suggest the compassionate solution to a problem. Another free spirit, he spends his days mingling with the clan members and creating charms or decorations for the lair. Terrible at most things, he prefers to rally the dragons and keep their spirits high and is highly revered by the clan, being thought of as kind and generous. Those who are too shy to speak directly to Orlaithe bring their troubles to him to pass on instead.[/size] [size=2]Aelin is the clan's most skillful and deadly fighter. She protects the clan from attackers and has proven to be an excellent battle tactician. Intimidating and cold, she's extremely unapproachable and unforgiving and Orlaithe has deep respect for her. She is also the designated trainer for inexperienced dragons who want to improve their fighting skills. Her knowledge of hand to hand combat, counter attacking and weapon usage is unrivalled in the clan and she takes her role very seriously. As well as taking down other dragons, she's also experienced in taking down prey, being the clan's primary meat provider with a team of a few others. [/size] [size=2]Fiach is Aelin's second in command and is almost as talented in fighting and hunting. He however lacks focus and determination and therefore falls behind in skill. A fairly jovial and insincere person, he never turns down an opportunity to crack a joke, often at Aelin's expense. Good looking and charismatic, many of the females in the clan hope to become his mate but his heart belongs to one person alone. Unfortunately for him, they're too focused on something else to notice, so he flirts with everyone to hide his emotions. A strong asset to the clan, Orlaithe sees him as a valued member of her council and listens to his input during important meetings.[/size] [img]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/k8ziq55x2diq7pf/Aqua2.png[/img] [size=2]Aquamarine is the clan's overly protective mother figure who is not only a great chef but is also the most experienced and talented healer, giving Orlaithe no choice but to let her run the infirmary. In her charge are the rest of the clan's healers and trainee healers are always welcome at her door. She is one of the founding members of the clan and has everyone's best interests at heart, standing up for those who are often overlooked. The children love her and she adores them in return, treating them like she would her own grandchildren, and she's always smiling or laughing with someone.[/size] [size=2]Riviera is an older fisherman who lived in the area before the cove moved in and has experianced the waters for many years. He is also very grounded and practical, as well as approachable and kind. Cares about his two children deeply.[/size] [img]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/uyjq57r0rcnub8o/Genie1.png[/img] [size=2]Genie is the clan's wildlife expert although she's often sidetracked collecting herbs for medicine or potions which Aquamarine thanks her greatly for. A self labeled herb witch, she claims to work miracles and frequently offers members of the clan potions with supposed beneficial effects. Most have learnt to politely decline after several attempts of potion testings have gone awry, but some are still caught out occasionally and suffer many consequences as a result. Having travelled alone for years, she decided to join Orlaithe's clan at the Cove after seeing their lifestyle, bringing along her young apprentice who appeared to be a smaller clone of herself. Often dragging home too many plants for the ratio of dragons who actually enjoy plants, the clan is frequently subjected to vegetable soups they don't particularly want to eat. She's scatterbrained and eccentric but kind, enthusiastic and a valuable member of the clan.[/size] [size=2]Zhaoxia is a wise old man with many years of experience under his belt. Often advising Orlaithe on the best course of action, he also offers Aelin helpful points when she's strategizing a battle or defence system. Much of the clan deeply respect him and his old age, looking at his battle scars with wide eyes and listening to his tales earnestly. He loves nothing more than his wife and children and encourages the young to seek adventure and follow their dreams. He currently spends his time teaching anyone who cares to listen about the world and how things work. A very educated and intelligent being, one would be a fool to ignore advice or warning from this man. He spends most of his time sorting out the finances of the clan, and arranging meetings with traders who want currency exchange.[/size] [img]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/btiddx9qy7g19dp/Raphael1.png[/img] [size=2]Raphael or Raffie as everyone calls him, is one of three brothers who joined the clan very recently and act almost as bouncers would, protecting the clan's territory and looking terrifyingly strong to ward off potential land claimers. He is the most level headed out of the three and quite the smooth talker when he wants to be, charming the council into letting them join the clan's ranks. Although he looks invulnerable, he's got many insecurities and cares about his brothers more than anything in the world. The clan respect them and trust their safety to them but there is always a feeling of mild discomfort when they're around due to their intimidating presence. However he is trying his hardest to gain the acceptance for himself and his brothers so that they can finally feel like they belong somewhere. He is also the clan's security officer. He ensures that the perimeter isn't compromised and the caverns aren't caving in anytime soon. He also constantly checks the map of the caverns for inconsistency as and Orlaithe have agreed it is the best route of escape for the clan should they need to emergency evacuate the premises. [/size] [size=2]Drift is the clan's ambassador who represents Orlaithe when she needs to communicate with the outside world and can't go herself. He is very diplomatic and knows the right things to say.[/size] [img]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/jjudetwh73yb5p0/Silvan1.png[/img] [size=2]Silvan is a very mysterious, odd man who came from the forest one day and settled down with the clan. He's the main bug catcher and provides many high quality, juicy, crunchy insects for the clan to feast on. He spends most of his time wood carving or preparing emergency kits should a situation arise where they needed to flee without warning. Some think he's crazy but Orlaithe sees him for who he really is, a kind, warmhearted but misunderstood individual. Despite being given the title of a loser by some of the clan's members, he's extremely handsome but deemed too strange to pursue. Is good friends with Genevieve who also knows the forest and is a bit odd. Some say they'll get together in the end.[/size] To read more about individual members of the council, as well as the rest of the inhabitants in The Cove, please click here to be taken to the resident pages.

[center][size=7][font=Century Gothic]MAP OF THE TERRITORY [/font][/size] [size=3][i]Here is a helpful map to help you navigate your way around[/i][/size] [/center] [img]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/994rb7pzwro9xza/Birds%20Eye.png[/img] [center][size=6][font=Century Gothic]THE GEOGRAPHY[/font][/size] [size=3][i]A quick glance at the territory and indigenous life residing in the Cove[/i][/size] [columns] [img]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/3cz10vd47tpm6ya/Caverns%20Right.png[/img] [nextcol][indent] [size=5][font=Century Gothic]The Caverns[/font][/size] A network of underground caves connected by winding tunnels makes up the foundation of the Clan’s home providing storage room, sleeping quarters, eating halls and living spaces. Members of the clan generally have their own cave or they will share with a friend or a partner. The caverns are fiercely protected and generally safe to wander for non combat dragons, with secret entrances monitored and the back passages patrolled to prevent intruders. [/indent] [/columns] [columns] [img]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/y0g59s9jr7u6ghl/Cave%20Left.png[/img] [nextcol][indent] [size=5][font=Century Gothic]The Caves[/font][/size] These rocky mouths are always slightly damp but provide a cool shade from the burning sun. They also double as entrances to the underwater caverns the clan calls home. Most of the caves are rocky, sandy and fairly smelly although the clan try to keep them as odeur free as they can. Treated as more of a hallway or aesthetic choice than any functional space, the clan rarely stay here for longer than needed as there are far better places to relax, even if it is shelter from the elements.[/indent] [/columns] [columns] [img]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/xbqlff48j7kxg0n/Wreck%20Right.png[/img] [nextcol][indent] [size=5][font=Century Gothic]The Wreck[/font][/size] A wooden vessel broken in half and beached makes for an excellent playground for the younger members of the clan. It’s in remarkably good condition despite being in two pieces, with the mast still clinging onto a few tattered scraps of what had been billowing sails. One can’t help wonder who the original owners of the ship was and what they wanted in the area. It doesn’t take up much space on the sandy beach so was left in place, having been deemed stable and safe. [/indent] [/columns] [columns] [img]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/b1jr19925oyus04/Beach%20Left.png[/img] [nextcol][indent] [size=5][font=Century Gothic]The Beach[/font][/size] Fine sand shifts underfoot, feeling like silk warmed by the heat of the sun and is caressed by the gentle lull of the sea. This spacious sandy haven is the relax and restoration location for the clan, the hub of many of the events the clan hold; including celebrations, rituals, performances and social gatherings. Most of the residents spend lots of their time lounging on the ivory sands, basking in the sun and dipping in the crystal clear waters. The beach is the center of the clan’s location and leads off to the caves, the gardens and the ocean.[/indent] [/columns] [columns] [img]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/jett6s6lej66qn5/Island%20Right.png[/img] [nextcol][indent] [size=5][font=Century Gothic]Sun Island[/font][/size] A bit out at sea sits a small circle of land dubbed Sun Island by the clan for the blistering heat which beats down on the scorching sands. A dilapidated wooden shack is the only shade on the entire island, void of any trees or rocks to provide cover. Often those who have been in trouble spend the night in the shack if they are trying to avoid other angry dragons in the clan. It is occasionally inhabited by the fishers who camp overnight during a large haul. No-one else will stay there as it is too hot to stay out on this tropical hotspot. [/indent] [/columns] [columns] [img]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/qtqc5job2ao1w7o/Garden%20Left.png[/img] [nextcol][indent] [size=5][font=Century Gothic]The Gardens[/font][/size] The designated gardeners nurture and prune their way to a healthy, prosperous, plant filled garden. All sorts grows here, from fruits and veg to herbs with medicinal properties and beautiful flowers for decoration and trading. The soil here is rich and mineral ridden, ideal for growing quality agriculture. A small cottage stands at the edge of the fields, often occupied by the gardeners or those who have been enlisted to help with the harvest. Genevieve spends many an hour here to brew potions or prepare medicine which cannot be prepared underwater.[/indent] [/columns] [columns] [img]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/0bkqz0javxawvf3/Lighthouse%20Right.png[/img] [nextcol][indent] [size=5][font=Century Gothic]The Lighthouse[/font][/size] Out on the cliffs stands an old lighthouse, slightly dilapidated and ravaged by time and no longer functioning as intended but still sturdy and serving the clan as a crows nest lookout, tall enough to survey the entire area. Someone is on watch most of the time, and although risk of an invasion is small the lighthouse is stocked with food and water and other supplies should an emergency arise. [/indent] [/columns] [columns] [img]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/5sfd2upqv5c90kc/Cliffs%20Left.png[/img] [nextcol][indent] [size=5][font=Century Gothic]The Cliffs[/font][/size] Craggy and sharp, they shelter the surrounding bay to form the Cove, rising high over the heads of the clan and into the forests beyond. At their base lie caves and sand, often hollowing out, the inside comprised of rocky caverns - pockets of trapped air and water eroding away at the ancient structure. The presence of the cliffs is comforting and protective, being the clans natural defense against the weather and unwanted intruders. It also hosts a strange rocky formation known as the arch which dates back to the second age and acts as a spiritual shrine for the clan.[/indent] [/columns] [columns] [img]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/qkepvu0kxxsnfh9/Shallows%20Right.png[/img] [nextcol][indent] [size=5][font=Century Gothic]The Shallows[/font][/size] The waters which wash upon the beachy shore, warmed by the sun - bright where the light dances off the surface creating the illusion of spirits flitting over the foam. The shallows are home to a number of small, shiny fish and are pleasant to bask in under the scorching sun’s fierce heat. Stretching up to a hundred feet, these waters never rise above one’s chest and as a result are thoroughly warmed even to the bottom. Towards the 90 foot mark begins a change in the sandy seafloor, changing to a more bumpy, corally texture where the reef takes over.[/indent] [/columns] [columns] [img]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/y0htkhv85l3ylhz/Reef%20Left.png[/img] [nextcol][indent] [size=5][font=Century Gothic]The Coral Reef[/font][/size] The reef is teeming with life, still warm but with cooler patches and with pockets of coral which lead to surprisingly sheltered and deep holes where many creatures hide. More dangerous fish hunt here, but are still no match for an experienced fisher or even an adult dragon who will easily hunt the hunters down to add to the dinner pile. The reef stretches a hundred and forty feet further out, before suddenly dropping off to a very deep, cold, dark, empty ocean. [/indent] [/columns] [columns] [img]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/3s8yik5uocnsup9/Deep%20Right.png[/img] [nextcol][indent] [size=5][font=Century Gothic]The Deep[/font][/size] The seafloor is a good fifty feet from the ledge of the reef and besides the odd sea kelp, is void of anything in the sand. Unless you know where to look. The deep waters is more in the grey area of territory owned specifically by the clan but they patrol it regularly to check for intruders regardless. Many very dangerous predators hunt here and it is more risky for fishers to hunt here, but the best fish is found here and catching it is a challenge which is exciting for the hunters. [/indent] [/columns] [columns] [img]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/gnvs2uzxnga34b5/Edge%20Left.png[/img] [nextcol][indent] [size=5][font=Century Gothic]Forest Edge[/font][/size] Sunlight filters through the leafy branches and clearings are common around the edge of the forest. It is home to many small creatures and insects and you can find lots of wild plants and vegetables to eat along the way. It backs onto the gardens and can be accessed by a path from the beach. The edge of the forest is considered over a hundred times safer than the deep dark woods of the heart of the forest and the magic which affect the heart only brushes over the edge and its inhabitants.[/indent] [/columns] [columns] [img]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/jett6s6lej66qn5/Island%20Right.png[/img] [nextcol][indent] [size=5][font=Century Gothic]Heart of the Forest[/font][/size] The rays of the sun aren’t able to penetrate the thick leafy canopy which keeps the heart of this huge forest perpetually in darkness. Rare plants and large beasts fit for a feast roam freely and although the dangers are all very real, it can be a very prosperous hunting ground if you know what you’re doing. The heart of the forest is reasonably large although it only takes up around ten percent of the actual forest itself, the rest is a gradient mix of deep forest and reaching the edge.[/indent] [/columns] [columns] [img]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/6fftnvnu01op6ld/Lake%20Left.png[/img] [nextcol][indent] [size=5][font=Century Gothic]Lake Eneida[/font][/size] This freshwater lake is found in the center of the forest, surrounded by thick foliage and home to many very territorial creatures who want to keep this natural resource for themselves. It full of fish and is mineral rich due to a nearby volcano and the water is supposedly good for the health. It is used in many spiritual rituals and cleansing spells and as a result, is highly sought after by the clan members who often request gatherers to fetch some if they are in the forest.[/indent] [/columns] [columns] [img]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/4m5s4p6jot1xzrr/Creek%20Right.png[/img] [nextcol][indent] [size=5][font=Century Gothic]The Creek[/font][/size] Allegedly haunted, this small stream flows into the lake and is sheltered by the overgrowth of the forest. It contains a wealth of freshwater fish as well as plants which only can grow in the moderately fast flowing water which are often vital in spells and medicine the clan uses and must be harvested from here. The winding waters travel throughout the forest and under the rocky ground, past a dormant volcano which means an incredible amount of minerals are present.[/indent] [/columns] [center][size=6][font=Century Gothic]THE CLIMATE[/font][/size] [size=3][i]A lesson on the atmosphere and weather patterns in this area[/i][/size] [size=5][font=Century Gothic]FREQUENTLY[/font][/size] [img]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/5bcmc9jup07o6iv/Sunny.png[/img] [center][b]SUNNY[/b][/center] [size=2] The weather more often than not, is sunny. Most days in the Cove are filled with bright sunshine and clear skies. Shade is hard to come by - even the damp insides of the caves are stuffy and humid. Powerful rays heat up the air and water, making a swim in the shallows incredibly enjoyable, providing excellent cooling power for that burning you get when you're sunbathing for too long. Staying out for extended periods, especially during midday may have negative effects on warm dragons and it is wise to monitor your time on the surface on days like these.

It's still very hot, but at least there's an occasional break from the sweltering rays that hit your skin. In the mornings before sunrise, the occasional fog may roll in from out at sea. Its usually thick and opaque, obstructing vision and movement but is usually dispersed by midday when the sun burns the cold damp away. High winds can also gush in from the open waters, whipping up a pleasant breeze or rarely a stronger force which encourages choppy waves making for an unpleasant swim.[/size] [size=5][font=Century Gothic]UNUSUAL[/font][/size] [img]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/iaog5eyuv1c52iq/Rain.png[/img][img]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/asfrnq9ddlrrih3/Rainbow.png[/img][img]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/8e902lm6trxhba4/Dark%20Cloudy.png[/img] [center][b]RAINY || RAINBOW || DARK CLOUDS[/b][/center] [size=2] Rainfall is uncommon around the beach area, occurring more in the forest covered lands to the north of the beach. Rainbows soon follow the cloudbursts which release themselves. Darker clouds are unusual, meaning the sun is obstructed by many water saturated clouds, but do appear on occasion, usually over the forest and lake.[/size] [size=5][font=Century Gothic]SELDOM[/font][/size] [img]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/zwni1geg084o4yb/Thunder.png[/img][img]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/fxx5hrtvfiu9i1v/Snow.png[/img] [center][b]STORMY || SNOWY[/b][/center] [size=2] Storms are incredibly rare, only happening a couple of times in a year, usually in the summer when the weather is the hottest allowing for water evaporation to push clouds to their limit. Snow is almost non existent and occurs unnaturally after a spell has gone awry or the ice clan to the north is trying to annoy the Cove inhabitants. [/size] [/center]

They look down on food caught inside the caverns as its considered dirty and desperate, even if it's just a snack. Most dragons aren't hungry enough to eat off the cavern's stock, unless something big and rare swims in such as a turtle or stingray, which then becomes a nice treat.[/size] [b]COMMON[/b] [item=murkbottom kelp][item=giant kelp][item=Diving aranea][item=subterranean termite][item=Subterranean Clover][item=Green Algae][item=pastel scallop][item=hypnotic scallop][item=bamboo shrimp][item=wood shrimp][item=spineback slug][item=bluespine slug][item=ghostcrab][item=seashore digger] [b]UNCOMMON[/b] [item=broadback pleco][item=pleco][item=deepsea yawner][item=humpback anglerfish][item=ragesquid][item=spotted seabeak][item=shalefin][item=venerable shalefin][item=scaleskin marlin][item=swordfish] [b]RARE[/b] [item=leatherback sea turtle][item=flatback sea turtle][item=spotted stingray][item=Coral Dweller] [/center]
