The hot sun constantly threatens to wipe out the continents inhabitants. On top of that the land's lack of magic doesn't making surviving any easier. Dragons here know not about the pleasures of sornieth. Life is a struggle for all but they enjoy the challenge. Helping them along is two deities. Medgar, an incomprehensibly massive serpent and Oaveiss, a demigod who appears only to those most in need. Most of Jörmungind is impossible to colonize. Weather and beasts wipe out all who try. The only truly safe place is within the giant crack separating the continent into two halves. Dragons dig large dens here. The ones living closer to the rapids below are the most influential among the clan. Digging is also how the can gets fresh water. The land lacks lakes, springs and other things but the tunnels Medgar creates are teeming with fresh water thanks to Oaveiss. These caves are also full of glistening crystals that resemble and are used as glass. This glass is very valuable and many things are made with it, even phrases and names are influenced by it. Sometimes Oaveiss is nicknamed Glassbreaker, its believed that they are the one growing those crystals. First layer tab is new world dragons living in the canyon, earth guys tab is old world dragons living east of the mountains just before the crags get dangerous.

1. What Flight is your clan?
Earth

2. Why did they choose this Flight?
The clan was getting cramped in the whispering wilds (reedcleft ascent) and needed a place where they could burrow without risking flooding their caves.

3. Have they been loyal to other Flights before this? Or will they never move?
Plague and then wind. They were reluctant to leave what they thought was their deities birthplace.

4. What would be the deciding factor in a move, if the clan had to?
Space or religious reasons

5. Is the clan spiritual and highly loyal to their deity? Are they indifferent?
Very very loyal to a deity not recognized by other clans. They believe its the one true god.

6. How does the clan view those from different Flights? Are they welcoming to all dragons, or suspicious of newcomers?
They pity outsiders. Dragons who have yet to be blessed by the one true deity. Those of their clan are all sorts of flights so they don't see dragons as representations of their birth soil.

7. What does your lair look like? Go into detail.
The lair is a series of caverns below a highly decorative surface town. The town is made up of twig tents with tapestries blocking the sun. This is where many merchants set up alongside plenty of guards defending the clans lower levels. directly below is the commoners caverns. These are many caverns with high ceilings and pretty normal décor. The majority of dragons take up residency here.

The lower you go the higher ranking dragons you see. Lower down décor gets a bit strange. Excessive amounts of dragon remains and snake sheds are littered everywhere. Tapestries line many walls depicting the deity.

They believe in a great world serpent. This serpent, named Medgar, is large enough to wrap around the world and grab it's tail in its massive jaws. If It's ever to release its tail it will thrash onto land and fill the sky with poison. [img]https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/721924199236763648/736238730888871976/New_Deity_.png[/img] [b]Oaveiss: The Demigod[/b] (Oh-vay-is) Said to be the child of Medgar, Oaveiss is a helpful spirit. They are often blamed for good fortune and are called upon in times of need. While only whelps believe they’ve seen this demigod all of Jörmungind believes in their existence. They are sometimes referred to as the sky guardian, always watching from above and willing to cast light into troubled lives. Oaveiss can often be mistaken for another deity but they are nothing more then a helpful spirit - that feeling you get when giving a gift.

In response to this they formed a new flight - dust. The dust flight is a combination of wind and earth. Their rune is of their deity, twisting to bight its own tail in a figure eight.

[center][b]Locations[/b][/center] [b]The councilors Chambers[/b] A series of rooms branching directly off of the hall of judgement. Each one is tailored to an individual councilor. Driskoll - This councilors room is bathed in red and marble. It is decorated with oriental carved red furniture and cardinal feathers. Everything has round edges and is worn down with old age. - He needs a stand in for he’s not allowed to leave his chambers. Ceiro - This room is empty. It’s the only room with a lock on the outside and not on the inside. Rue - This diplomats room is simple. The beach wood furniture is stainless and small vials of blue liquid sit on every open surface. While the rest of the room is spotless the bed is never made. Ozico - The peacekeepers room has dark walls and orange furniture. Often times paper ghost adorn the any open space. Scoundrel - The beastclan interpreter’s room is covered in garbage, no furniture to be seen. Gem and Coin - The large room is split evenly down the center from one corner to another. One half is covered in blue and white with diamonds and sapphires on every ornate item. That half has very sturdy, angular furniture and a chandelier. The other half is covered in bright gold and yellow ochre items, intricate cloth and pillows are everywhere. Incense is lit in every not so flammable corner. Prison warden General Extra for random citizen [b]The Hall of Judgement[/b] This large round room sits at the center of the councilors chambers. It is starkly contrasting the rest of the lair. Instead of brown and sandy colors along its walls marble has been brought in to line it. Marble and fine gray stone cover the large room with tall ceilings. Yellow and black carpets lay in stripes along the floor and walls leading up to a large chandelier. The chandelier is made of gold and carved ebony in the shape of snake heads. It overlooks a round table in the center of the room with chairs surrounding it, each different from the next. Extending from the room is a wide hallway meant for dragons with questions to line up and wait for the council. This is also where prisoners will await judgement. [center][img]https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/721924199236763648/851967311236694016/Untitled_Artwork.png[/img][/center] [b]The Prison[/b] Located very deep underground, at some points even dipping under the council chambers, is a very expansive tunnel systems. The ceilings are low here but walkways are wide. This allows for combat to be difficult for anyone but the small and maneuverable guards. Torches line the walls in even intervals, bathing the system in bright orange glow. The cells are located every 5 feet, separated by thick walls of stone. Each cell is just big enough for a dragon to fit but the ceilings are even lower here. It’s very uncommon to be able to stand fully in a cell. The bars are iron and are crossed to form diamonds. Within the cell is a set of chains attached to the back wall. These are to be connected to the prisoners neck, legs, and a set of cuffs for their wings. Not many prisoners would survive down here if it wasn’t for the excellent meals and access to small hobbies. Dragons eat the councils leftovers here. They are often taught tapestry weaving and wood carving. The current prisoners are: - Daenero - Tax - Eldritch The current guards are: - Rugore - Croak [b]Geode[/b] Geode is a marketplace. While mining out space for the clan an impossibly large geode is found. It is of oblong shape, at least 6 times larger long then it is tall. The cavern is full of dirty white crystals that reflect light so well the room can be lit up in its entirety by a single candle. Such a beautiful place couldn’t be left to one dragon but it wasn’t quite fancy enough to become a park or landmark. Geode was quickly populated by merchants who saw the unique place as a great spot to sell their wares. The cavern can house up to 120 small booths at once.

Driskoll was one of the travelers who discovered the cavernous ridge that the clan now resides in. He was just a teen at the time, with red scales freckled with purple and gold and a face full of hope and arrogance. He was an apprentice of one of the other travelers, one who still remains nameless to this day (not Ceiro who told you that). Another traveler was with them, a bulking skydancer with the leathery wings of a half-bred. The tail is true, the one about them being too weak to leave the ridge after falling in during a particularly dark night. The caves they discovered during their time at the bottom inspired the idea of a settlement. Being as haughty as he was Driskoll quickly declared himself king and used his brawn to discourage the others from taking his place. He called himself the red king and fashioned himself an iron crown before he could even make sure the group had a source of water.
The original cavern was carved deeper and an easy way to the surface was established. With that done Driskoll hand picked a few from a local town to persuade to join. The first few were just some lady friends he had made but eventually he brought back some dragons who could do a bit of heavy lifting. With ridge beginning to become crowded expanding was necessary and expand they did. Within the next few years the entire ridge had dens carved in every available rock face and Driskoll was still sitting at the top of it all.
He was a strict ruler for quite some time and the other original adventurers were swept beneath a metaphorical rug. Dragons were becoming uneasy around their ever present ruler, the red king was almost overthrown before he decided to change things up.
By now Driskoll was getting up in years, his once fantastic scales where growing thin and losing their color and his thick mane was now wiry and uneven. He was cold towards others and often snapped at visitors. Many more knowledgeable folk saw his behavior and thought back to emperors- one of those in such a closed in environment could spell death for thousands. Driskoll came to his senses and along with the help of the rest of the clan he formed a council. Not long after he ceased to exist.
The truth is he sealed himself away in his quarters for the safety of the clan but to keep what little is left of his image they were told he just doesn’t like to be seen. Many have forged stories though- perhaps the red king kicked the bucket, or maybe he did go full emperor and every earthquake they experience is him stomping around beneath the old palace. Each rumor is snuffed out by those working with the council but there is one they can’t seem to squash.

With Driskoll sealed away he is required to have a dragon who can relay his words, an interpreter. Many believe this dragon is a fraud and no one can prove them wrong without finding where the old king resides. Is the one in charge of it all silent while a hatchling speaks in his voice?

Ideas that need a house:
- Jörmungind is no longer the clan name, it's the name of the continent.
- Each Settlement needs a name
- The folks living in the plains sheltered by the mountain range are all dusty colored
and rootin tootin. The settlement is called Djakl/Carrionalley.
- The folks living in the crag are just like any other dragons from Sornieth - magic +
Crazy. Settlement name unknown at this time.
- The folks living in the woods are reclusive, stubborn, ruthless and may be
poisonous/venomous in some way? They are all very brightly colored and smaller
than average. Some of em live in a swamp and are a bit different. Settlement(s)
name unknown at this time.
- Maybe an underground cult that worships the continent along with the new diety.
