Northeast of the Tempest Spire, a ways off the beaten path, stands a short butte not far from the coastline. Sea breezes wash over this outcrop of rock, blowing in static from spires across the channel and whistling past the cave entrances bored into the sturdy sandstone. Carved into this unassuming butte is a series of tunnels and caves known as the Windswept Grotto. Clan Ventiflor makes their home here.
The butte's crown was once occupied by flocks of harpies living in dwellings carved in a ring around the top of the butte, but the nests had long since been abandoned, faded paints coating every surface the only proof of their presence. And so Clan Ventiflor moved into the rock below. They have the whole butte to themselves, allowing them plenty of space to spread their wings.
Efforts have been made to restore the harpy dwellings, but Clan Ventiflor has yet to track down descendants of the Windswept Grotto previous occupants. Research into where those ancient harpies went, and why they left, are still ongoing. The hope is that they can someday invite a young family of harpies to return to their ancestral home as part of ongoing efforts to maintain good relations with the local beastclans.

-----
It all began with the will of one dragon. Caspin and his mate at the time, Delilah, founded a new clan in the gentle winds of the Zephyr Steppes with several acquaintances. The flower shop they are known for was founded during these early stages, starting out as a pet project by the husband-wife duo of ForgetMeNot and Lorelei. Pearlfire was also one of these founding members, and gradually took on her administrative role as the clan grew. In fact, most of the dragons in administrative roles ended up that way due to necessity in those early days when resources were scarce and helping hands were few.
Wind dragons are known to be wanderers at heart, and the clan at this time was likewise rather rootless. Not in a literal sense, of course; they had a proper lair and all. But they were drawn to move elsewhere, and so they soon found themselves blown out east to the Shifting Expanse.

They waited and waited for a chance to move one last time, and eventually found an old butte they could claim all to themselves. It was near the coast and far enough from any spires that they had plenty of empty territory to romp around in.

After an intense excavation and construction process, they were ready to move into the newly christened Windswept Grotto where they still make their home. The intent of this final move was to make it a permanent home, so they will remain living here for the foreseeable future.

[center][size=6][emoji=lightning rune size=1] Clan Ventiflor Today [emoji=lightning rune size=1][/size][/center]
-----
Clan Ventiflor has a loosely-knit, relaxed atmosphere. Dragons tend to just do their own thing, some more independently than others. Some are highly involved in clan life, while others are pretty much clan members only in name. The only true hierarchy is Caspin being the leader who makes ultimate decisions that affect the clan as a whole. Everyone has their place and their own contributions, but no one is anyone else's superior.
The clan makes its money mainly from trade with other clans and from those working in the Spire as engineers, etc. (they have their own salaries, but clans get a stipend as part of the employment contract). A cut of the flower shop proceeds also contributes to the clan's finances.
Perhaps oddly for a lightning clan, they have a rather collectivist bent, and individual dragons aren't required to earn their keep. Most do contribute in one way or another, but this isn't an enforced rule. Especially now that they have grown this large, they tend to be rather selective as to who they let into the clan long-term, so dragons who come in looking to exploit these lax rules are easily weeded out during the getting-to-know-you process. Dragons basically get to choose how independent they want to be as members of the community, and most end up with some hybrid combination of personal finances and group living.
As a community, they have group dinner every evening in the main hall that most of them attend. Many also have breakfast together, though those who commute outside the lair tend to just grab and go. Socialization as a clan is largely centered around mealtimes. They may not all be close friends, but they're all friendly and familiar with each other.
History
It all began with the will of one dragon. Caspin and his mate at the time, Delilah, founded a new clan in the gentle winds of the Zephyr Steppes with several acquaintances. The flower shop they are known for was founded during these early stages, starting out as a pet project by the husband-wife duo of ForgetMeNot and Lorelei. Pearlfire was also one of these founding members, and gradually took on her administrative role as the clan grew. In fact, most of the dragons in administrative roles ended up that way due to necessity in those early days when resources were scarce and helping hands were few.
Wind dragons are known to be wanderers at heart, and the clan at this time was likewise rather rootless. Not in a literal sense, of course; they had a proper lair and all. But they were drawn to move elsewhere, and so they soon found themselves blown out east to the Shifting Expanse. Here they continued to grow their clan and develop a sense of what they wanted their community to become. And it was here in the Shifting Expanse where they decided to put down their roots. For better or for worse, their time as wanderers was short, and Lightning quickly became home. They were always cultural misfits, still Wind dragons by nature, but their new neighbors still welcomed them with open arms and they were quickly able to adjust to the new routines involved with being a Lightning lair. It was at this time that they gave their clan the name "Ventiflor," after the winds that brought them here.
They spent a while in a butte near the southeastern coast in the Lightning Farms, then expanded and moved into the Tempest Spire, near the center of the butte. Here they spent an even longer time, driven to this location by necessity due to the sheer size of the clan, and they adapted their new lodgings to fit their needs. Still, it wasn't quite where they wanted to stay. They had no direct outside access, the only entrance coming from the inside hallways. It was convenient for the florists, since they'd found themselves on a floor zoned for both residential and retail, but despite all the space, they quickly felt cramped.

Near the heart of the Tempest Spire, halfway up and only a few blocks from the center, sits a most unexpected flower shop. The large hand-painted sign hanging over the doorway looks out of place here, but there it is, announcing to all passing by that this is the site of Spire Flowers. "Homegrown flowers to brighten up any office or occasion. Engineered for beauty," reads the tagline. Through the glass storefront, flowers of all shapes, sizes, and colors are visible. The hum of electricity and distant rumbling of huge machines disappears as one enters.
Inside, flowers are everywhere. The floor is a maze of floral displays and flowerpots bursting with life. They cover the walls and hang from the ceilings. Everywhere is flowers. In the very back, behind all the displays, is a wide glass wall peering into an enormous cavern with rows of greenhouses massive enough for even an imperial to work in comfortably.
This is the domain of [b]Lorelei[/b], a florist, and her gardener husband, [b]ForgetMeNot[/b]. Together they oversee the operation of the largest and most successful self-supplying flower shop in the whole Shifting Expanse.
[/columns]
[columns][size=4]
The flower shop was already in operation when the clan was still in Wind territory, so when a new lair was established on the Lightning coasts, the flower shop of course moved with them. The shop was still very small back then, just a single large garden plot tended to be ForgetMeNot while Lorelei took care of the shop itself. [b]Bayou[/b] was still Lorelei's apprentice when the move happened, but was quickly made into a proper employee. While the Windswept Plateau had some decent growing conditions, the Shifting Expanse was a very different story. Florists are extremely rare there, and for good reason. So, while business was increasing due to large demand, their ability to keep up with that demand stalled. Lorelei and Bayou could handle the demand, but ForgetMeNot was having trouble maintaining their supply. This is when the clan welcomed Blink.
[b]Blink[/b] was a biologist who primarily worked with plants. With him, they were able to keep up with the latest technology to allow their flowers to grow: specialized greenhouses, genetically modified flower varieties, everything needed to make their flowers flourish.

After a year, Blink got pulled into his Jewelry Box Fae research, which is when [b]Titania[/b] was brought into the fold to replace him. And even more than Blink, Titania was a true visionary for plant cultivation. When the clan moved into the Tempest Spire, she oversaw the construction of the new store with Lorelei, making sure everything was wired for optimum efficiency and with room to spare for new innovations. In addition to all the usual improvements, she also has several creative side projects that try to make wacky ideas — like glowing flowers that can be used as nightlights — into reality.
Inside the Tempest Spire, where they remain to this day, business is better than ever. After all, there aren't many florists in the Shifting Expanse, let alone right in the heart of the Spire complex. Why go through the trouble of importing from the Shrieking Wilds when there's a perfectly good domestic source that even uses Lightning tech to operate their business? And, as their newest apprentice florist [b]Mercy[/b] would say, the Shifting Expanse really needs some color.

When the clan moved into the Tempest Spire, she oversaw the construction of the new store with Lorelei, making sure everything was wired for optimum efficiency and with room to spare for new innovations. In addition to all the usual improvements, she also has several creative side projects that try to make wacky ideas — like glowing flowers that can be used as nightlights — into reality.
Inside the Tempest Spire, where they remain to this day, business is better than ever. After all, there aren't many florists in the Shifting Expanse, let alone right in the heart of the Spire complex. Why go through the trouble of importing from the Shrieking Wilds when there's a perfectly good domestic source that even uses Lightning tech to operate their business? And, as their newest apprentice florist Mercy would say, the Shifting Expanse really needs some color.

_____________________
|
Lorelei // Florist
Lorelei is the proud owner and manager of Spire Flowers. She co-founded it with her husband ForgetMeNot. She does a bit of everything, from flower arranging to accounting, and likes to deal directly with customers whenever possible.
|
_____________________
|
ForgetMeNot // Gardener
He co-founded Spire Flowers with Lorelei as the shop's gardener. He runs the greenhouses and cares for the flowers, but doesn't get involved in any of the front-facing activities; he prefers to keep to himself and let the florists do their thing.
|
_____________________
|
Bayou // Florist
Bayou specializes in bouquets and arrangements. She's usually in the back of the shop putting together orders, but will go out front if Lorelei is too busy to deal with customers on her own.
|
_____________________
|
Oleander // Florist | Toxicologist
She ended up in the clan for reasons unrelated to her occupation, proving that the clan really does have some sort of fate with florists. She works with Spire Flowers part-time, more of a freelancer than a full employee.
|
_____________________
|
Mercy // Florist
Mercy is currently apprenticing under Lorelei to hone her skills. She's crafty and good with her hands, so she's often given garland and corsage orders. Otherwise, she mostly does small assistant jobs like cutting and wrapping flowers.
|
_____________________
|
Titania // Biologist
She's a plant biologist and agricultural engineer who genetically modifies the flowers for optimal growth, longevity, color, and other factors. She studies technical and scientific aspects of plant growth.
|
_____________________
|
Blink // Biologist | Researcher
Blink is a former botanist who was later replaced by Titania. He performed many of the same duties as Titania, but had a more practical, less experimental approach.
