TOPIC | Lair Lore WIP
First time doing something like this and actually trying to embrace writing a bit more so please excuse the mess that this is going to be until I have something more concrete! I do plan to move this to a whole thread of its own so feel free to comment if you wish, this is all a WIP and will be done in my own time. ------ [center][b]Welcome[/b] - ADDED TO MAIN THREAD This is found on the main lore page, just adding it here so I know what I have written. Still working on the main thread which can be found [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/cc/3081047#post_3081047]HERE[/url] "Those who heed to the light, perhaps a loved one... or yourself." Socorro eyes you with a hint of repulsion in his eyes. "How careless of me, may I ask how you made your way to The Sanctum?" He tilted his head, feigned worry in his expression. The Main Head made their way further into the giant dragon skeleton that you noticed from a distance before coming across the ones that lived in it. "Here in Sanctum Chasm, we are all very happy..." Socorro nodded as a few, much smaller dragons flew by to land on one of the giant ribs, The Body stared in odium as you made your way further, on the other side The Feet continued to stare at you as well, some in suspicion, others in disgust, and some - if you looked hard enough - with eyes that begged for help. Socorro hurried up as he continued, making you hurry along as well behind them. "Why don't you make yourself at home? We're having a feast to night, I'm sure you'll love it." Socorro smiled with a mocking, and yet sinister look written all over him. ------ [columns] [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/73356158][img]https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/630754058818551808/917582671373299752/FL1.png[/img][/url] [nextcol] [indent]"My word is law and charter, I am what you may even consider a Deity.

The Head's voice delivered with an echo, The Body landing with haste as it surrounded the single menace. The kin hunched down in attempt to plea and hope of salvation, unfortunately for the young menace, The Head did not recede. "Thou shall recognize punishment and damnation..."

Once the sun had finally set and the moon had reached its highest point, the colony made its way to Sanctum. The Left and Right Head landing onto the ribs and higher viewpoints that looked down on The Feet, of which would land onto the ground with their heads hung low to revere to The Head.

"Thou know my name as law and charter... All hail the Old Blood, the Old Blood of ancients." Socorro howled, "The time has come where those who heed the light must come forward.
