Hello there! After being in and out of hiatus for a few years, I'm love to start reworking my Clan's lore.
I'll be rewriting some parts and smoothing out inconsistencies as I get up to date on the official FR lore.
This thread will be an intro to all my dragons and feature some of their diary entries. While the lore and thread may be under construction, please feel free to comment. [b]Feel free to say hi, ask questions, etc.![/b][/quote]

[size=4][font=century gothic]A spiral approaches, her scales a gentle lavender, juxtaposed by the erratic manifestation of energy that leaps from her scales in wild, flaring arcs. Here is a dragon whose Arcane magic bursts forth from her soul, brilliant yet unnervingly chaotic, true to the nature of her Flight.
She carries a weathered tome of ancient pages, brimming with text in scrawled handwriting in a language that is archaic and long forgotten. It contains the legends and lineages of a draconic folk from ages past. These are the practitioners of ancient magic, granted to them by a pantheon of buried gods. The kindred have since been scattered to the winds, but awakening forces have begun to draw them back together, to the epicenter of their creation in the Arcane lands.

[font=century gothic][size=4][b]The Aetherwoods[/b] is an expanse of woods within the Starfall Isles, enchanted by a magical barrier to conceal it and provide refuge to the dragons there, able to be located by those who have been plagued and persecuted. It is for the wanderers who are stricken of soul, who have plunged into the intoxicating depths of the Starwood Strand in hopes of the forest claiming them. They say that the ancient woods will show their favor to their chosen few, enveloping them and guiding them to their refuge. Here within the Aetherwoods, that spirit has inundated the land. For the lucky few who have been blessed by its magic, a guide will manifest seemingly from the lifeblood of the forest itself- a spirit who appears only just past dusk under the glow of a waxing moon. Those who woods have chosen will feel the pull to the Aetherwoods, and fate will lead them there eventually. It takes only time, and perhaps a slight bit of otherworldly magic.

Despite her promise, Tove could not escape the allure of morally-dubious magic, setting up a seedy shop selling dream potions down some dark alley. She resurfaced in Hyperion's network of connections down the road, and she joined him and re purposed her skills as an alchemist in her new life within the Aetherwoods.

[size=4][font=century gothic]The Nature dragons of this wild and wonderous story hail from The Order of The Druids, an enclave of devout apostles of the Gladekeeper. Their stronghold lies among the gnarled and untamed branches of the great Arborhome, where lanterns are strung upon its boughs and the members of the Order live and study within sprawling tree houses connected by suspended bridges nestled in its welcoming boughs. However idyllic their home may be, the roots of the Order are sick and rotting with corruption, for they have been poisoned by the Druids' leaders, charismatic figureheads who preach messages of animosity between Flights. But seeds that are sowed with malice will produced withered crops, and the leader's manipulation of the people have led to a rising insurrection and the escape of the lucky few. These are the dragons that tell the story of the corruption that spreads in the heart of the Viridian Labyrinth.

She was taken, claimed by the Faerie Court as an unwilling tithe in exchange for the magic that the Court bestows upon the Aetherwoods.

[size=4][font=garamond]Carved into the Cloudscape Crags is a castle named Frostspires, with towers of stone and crystal that puncture the bright, eternally frigid sky. The mountainscape is rife with raging winds, and the cliffs threaten to crumble into devastating land slides -- yet the castle still reaches high, made mighty by its wardens, who hail from an ancient lineage of powerful Ice mages.
These mages, who call themselves House [Noctilucent], once held great favor with the Icewarden, but a disagreement over their dabbling in forbidden magic meant to stay within the secrecy of the Rimebone Stockade forced them to retreat and create a new stronghold among the crags. Their generations of isolation has only allowed them to more fiercely hone their magic and might, and they have come to exert political power over many smaller vassal clans who live downslope of Frostspires and into parts of the tundra below.[/font][/size]

[font=garamond][size=5]hmm, decided to start using this lore thread again because I have it linked in my bio. I think I'm going to use it as an in-character diary as my lore dragons react to FR lore events.
I'm going to reserve a few more posts first though!

• [b]Saturnine Court:[/b] [i]the fey court's name for Clan Saturn[/i]
• [b]The Aetherwoods:[/b] [i]name of the territory where Clan Saturn resides; part of the Starwood Strand[/i]
• fey ≠ Fae dragon breed, fey refers to the Seelie Court of non-dragon creatures that live under the hill in the corner of the Aetherwoods. Also referred to as the Fair Folk.
• the existence of the fey court is the only major piece of Clan lore not connected to Flight Rising canon. The fey possess their own, ancient type of magic separate from the Eleven's elemental magic. In their realm, elemental magic is nonfunctional.
• therefore, dragons may visit the Fair Folk's realm, but often cannot survive there long, as elemental magic is a dragon's lifeblood. Evergreen and Glad's adopted daughter, Dryad, who was stolen as a hatchling and replaced with a changeling, was weak in the fey realm, and died upon being returned to Sornieth. Arro, however, managed to survive and returned to Sornieth, imbued with a touch of fey magic.
• Clan Saturn and the fey court have amiable relations, and the fey court's magic helps bolster the illusion shroud surrounding the Aetherwoods territory.
