[size=5][color=green][font=cambria]STORY[/color][/size]
Through the trees of the Viridian Labyrinth is an opening, outlined with shrubbery and flowers of all colors. The Guild is located within the Shrieking Wilds, with the Gladeveins nearby. This clan of dragons started out as a few best friends exploring the world, beginning in the Tangled Wood. The dragons didn't make it far, they moved fast through the Dragonhome and became exhausted from the vast Shattered Plain. They moved towards the friendly sight of trees and just never got the energy to leave. The dragons would goof around and spar with one another and it slowly became tradition - and eventually an occupation.
Following their ancestors, the Guild has continued to train and become stronger in case of battle. A majority of the dragons here make it their life to fight. They practice battling with each other or with creatures in the Woodland Path. Those who choose this lifestyle are deemed defenders and are trained to help protect the Guild from attacks.
All in all, they're all just a bunch of best friends who wanted to have sleepovers every day. And now they're a found family.
Those who do not wish to seek out a life of fighting may take on various other roles. All roles are respected and viewed as equals. The titles are as follows:
> [color=#00e500]leader[/color]
> [color=#00b200]potion master[/color]
> [color=#007f00]defenders[/color]
> [color=#004c00]gardeners[/color]
> [color=#001900]other[/color]
This tome provides detailed information on the flora and fauna of the region - it seems that many creatures have changed their habits since the forest began to regularly catch fire.

(drawn map is a WIP)
Located in the Shrieking Wilds. A small clearing is filled with flowers of all different colors. A few dragons stand guard, doing routes around the camp and their territory. Dotted around the garden are bear caves that have tunnels that go into the ground. Jade states of dragons are placed on either side of each entrance. Underneath the ground are many networks and caves that the dragons live in.
