Woo! I'm going to try and hit the goal of 50.000 words, but no idea if I can actually make that. I'm going to start off with answering these [url=http://gainstrive.tumblr.com/post/121841707649/75-fr-lore-questions]75 lore questions[/url] (I think the original creator is called alex-rising? Their blog seems to be deactivated, so I actually have no idea) to flesh out the general lore of the clan, as well as the hierarchy and stuff. I'll track what I've written until now on [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?p=lair&tab=dragon&id=345670&did=41232249]Hela[/url], for now it's just pure text and no fancy code. I'll fix that soon enough! Got 1401 words written for today! Here's a little peek for those interested. ♥ [quote][b]14. Does your clan have any Flight ambassadors? What do they do?[/b] Yes. There are ambassadors for every Flight. They are Shieldmaidens highly specialized in the magics of their own element, and serve as both the best warriors the clan has as well as trainers, guides to those that handle the same elemental magic and help with making the harsh environment in which the clan resides more habitable. Since the clan has a territory that spans further than a single lair, parts of the mountain that the clan resides in have been repurposed as areas to make dragons of all kinds more comfortable. Underneath the mountain, there are spiralling rivers, deep underwater caves and (hot) springs for those of the Water flight or any that may enjoy it to swim or even nest in, under the care of Vatn, Shieldmaiden of Water. Jord, Shieldmaiden of Earth, preserves the intricate cave system that the mountain possesses, as well as make new entryways and rooms if needed. She works together with Snjova, Shieldmaiden of Snow, in making sure the mountain they all live in is in a good condition and can house as many members as is deemed needed or desired. Apart from her tasks in maintaining the frozen parts of the lair and the outside of the mountain, Snjova is the head of the Council of Ambassadors and Thor's right hand. Born inside of the clan, she is the young embodiment of Thor's rule: born inside of the walls she has sworn to protect. Vindr (Shieldmaiden of Wind), Gróa (Shieldmaiden of Nature) and Ljos (Shieldmaiden of Light) have worked together closely to create a plateau outside of the mountain, nestled against its side and meandering further into the mountainrange below, large enough to house dens as well as fields on which crops can grow and wildlife can roam. While the harsh weather outside rages on, Seidr (Shieldmaiden of the Arcane) has created a forcefield that allows the plateau to house the warmth Ljos gives it, and helps the wildlife and plants that Gróa has created from dying, as well as keeping Vindr's wind inside. Seidr also takes care of the vast library the clan possesses, together with the Scholars. Hyrr (Shieldmaiden of Flame) and Dynja (Shieldmaiden of Thunder) work closely together in the clan's forges to forge armour and weaponry for the warriors of the clan. Hyrr regulates the heat inside of the vast mountain, making sure the unforgiving cold stays outside. Together with Mein (Shieldmaiden of Plague), Hyrr also takes care of the highly sacred death rituals within the clan. As per tradition, those who die within the halls of Valhalla are cremated in a ceremony, after which their burnt remains are brought to the tombs at the very bottom of the mountain, into the care of Grima (Shieldmaiden of Shadow).[/quote]

14. Does your clan have any Flight ambassadors? What do they do?

Yes. There are ambassadors for every Flight. They are Shieldmaidens highly specialized in the magics of their own element, and serve as both the best warriors the clan has as well as trainers, guides to those that handle the same elemental magic and help with making the harsh environment in which the clan resides more habitable.

I signed up earlier today! It's given me the motivation to start my own lore threads and start writing down all the stories too long for my dragons’ bios. I don't have a goal, just to get all of it written down somewhere.

I wrote a lot today, though... Not in one spot. I wrote around 250 words in both my new clan lore thread and in a new dragon’s bio, and then 520 words in my Timelocke. It's a good start for the month!
