{ Is the thread dead? }
Not if I've posted on FR within the past few days! I just go very, very long stretches of time without adding new content, that's all.

{ Why is this called "The Tower of Drabel"? }
Well, like the Tower of Babel, it's a...tower...and a work of hubris...plus there are words. So many words. So much drabble. It's a pun. My lore thread is a pun. It's punderful. Also it's probably just going to keep on growing and growing while I'm here on FR.
Lore-wise, Drabel is a bubble of reality located in the Disillusionists' lair. It's managed by Harfang the Chronicler and is used to house the clan's accounts and archived records.

{ Can I be pinged/unpinged for new stories, updates, etc.? }
Sure! Here's the pinglist for new stories:

If you want to be pinged only for specific characters, or if you'd like to read non-story updates such as headcanons, please ping me @Disillusionist and let me know.
Specific updates: findingpears (Minuit)

{ Why are there so many duplicate posts of dragons? }
Each dragon is allotted at least two posts. The first post has links to the dragon's bio, any lore posts they have, plus headcanon and lore notes. The second post will contain the first story they have, with subsequent stories being scattered throughout the thread (but linked in the dragon's first post and in the table of contents).
There are a lot of blank posts because either (A) I haven't written any lore for the dragon yet, and/or (B) it's really tiring, tedious, and time-consuming to make the headcanon posts with links. I also post new dragons on the thread in batches, so it's not unusual to see the thread pop up with lots of dragon images in the last few pages.

{ How are the dragons and stories arranged? }
Dragons are arranged according to when they arrived in the lair. Each dragon has two posts: the first one is my notes and headcanon on them, and the second one is their story. All stories are linked in the dragon's first post, so even if they get additional lore later on, they can still be accessed from there.
Stories are posted out of order throughout the thread, but they are arranged chronologically below and in the links at the top and bottom of each post. They are best read in the order written below.

{ Can we establish lore alliances/lore connections? }
No problem! Just hit me with a PM. It's helpful if you have an idea of the interactions our clans have and why we would become allies. You can also take a look at my Alliances and Lore Connections to get an idea of how I manage relations with other clans, and my Possible Connections for characters your clan might want to connect with.

{ We agreed to be allies (or trade partners, enemies, etc.), but my clan hasn't been added to the Allies/Lore Connections section yet. Why? }
Ngl, sometimes I forget. Please, please don't be shy about reminding me. I may need you to jog my memory about how exactly our clans are related (if you can provide links to posts or PMs, that'd be great too) and definitely wouldn't mind adding you to the list!

{ There's a mistake in your code/links. }
PLEASE TELL ME gently so I can fix it and I will love you forever. X333

{ Our lore threads look very similar. Is this OK with you? }
I won't mind if your thread looks a lot like this one. As long as it's not my lore/concepts/characters being copy-pasted, and you don't claim you came up with all of the formatting on your own, I think we're cool. Please credit me, and a link back to this thread would be much appreciated as well.

{ Can I have the code for this thread, so I can use it on my own thread? }
No. The code used here was never meant to be free for other players. I can't force other writers to completely change their own lore thread layouts after following my own, however, so while you can format your lore thread the same way as this, I will not be releasing a template for this thread layout. Please credit me and link back here if you decide to copy the layout.

{ Where did you get the graphics you used? }
User-made or -modified content should link to the pages I got them from.
Exceptions: Some stories are copy-pasted from dragons' bios and don't have creator credit or links yet. You can click the dragons' images and scroll to the bottom of their bios for credits and links.

{ What language is the theme song in? }
I have no idea. XD I believe it's just a made-up language. The band that produced it is Japanese, though.

{ I have a question that's not listed here. }
I recommend checking my general FAQ first. It should answer gameplay questions that might be related to this thread. Otherwise, feel free to drop me a line.
