Long story short: November 12 is my 1-year FRniversary! I'm saving up to have one of each egg (except Banes) ready to hatch on that date. Plans? None yet! Hopes, dreams, wishes for special hatchies? Not really! There's a high chance that I will auction/sell most of the hatchies. Each one will come with at least one paragraph of lore guaranteed. But it totally depends on what comes out of those eggs! [s]First, the challenge: Can I gather/beg/barter/buy all the eggs by then? We'll see![/s] Challenge complete! [quote=Eggs] [columns=2] [item=unhatched earth egg] [nextcol] Bartered for by a group of alchemists from a group of alchemists in the Shifting Expanse, there is a fairly high chance that this egg contains some sort of eldritch monster rather than a dragon. This egg seems fairly stable. [/columns] [columns=2] [item=unhatched fire egg] [nextcol] Stolen by a golem from the same group of alchemists in the Shifting Expanse, there is a fairly high chance that this egg contains some sort of eldritch monster rather than a dragon. This egg, while not threatening to explode, is growing continually hotter. [/columns] [columns=2] [item=unhatched wind egg] [nextcol] Bartered for by a group of alchemists from a group of alchemists in the Shifting Expanse, there is a fairly high chance that this egg contains some sort of eldritch monster rather than a dragon. This egg seems fairly stable. [/columns] [columns=2] [item=unhatched water egg] [nextcol] Bought from a traveling merchant. The merchant and the facet-eyed Skinktongue have both ascertained that the egg is a Firstborn and not merely from an abandoned clutch. [/columns] [columns=2] [item=unhatched ice egg] [nextcol] Bartered for by a group of alchemists from a group of alchemists in the Shifting Expanse, there is a fairly high chance that this egg contains some sort of eldritch monster rather than a dragon. This egg is extremely cold, so much so that it has a tendency to freeze anything and everything around it. It requires containment in an ice chest or careful brooding by a strong Ice mage. [/columns] [columns=2] [item=unhatched lightning egg] [nextcol] Dropped by a Shade-touched enemy while gathering Charged Sprockets during the Thundercrack Carnivale, this hatchling is sure to have the blessing of the Stormcatcher. Or will it be Shade-corrupted... [/columns] [columns=2] [item=unhatched shadow egg] [nextcol] Bought from a traveling merchant. The merchant and the facet-eyed Skinktongue have both ascertained that the egg is a Firstborn and not merely from an abandoned clutch. [/columns] [columns=2] [item=unhatched light egg] [nextcol] Bartered for by a group of alchemists from a group of alchemists in the Shifting Expanse, there is a fairly high chance that this egg contains some sort of eldritch monster rather than a dragon. This egg glows softly and seems somewhat stable. [/columns] [columns=2] [item=unhatched plague egg] [nextcol] Found by the Plague representatives on their journey back from the Scarred Wasteland after the Riot of Rot. They are convinced that the hatchling within is specially blessed by the Plaguebringer. [/columns] [columns=2] [item=unhatched nature egg] [nextcol] Bartered for by a group of alchemists from a group of alchemists in the Shifting Expanse, there is a fairly high chance that this egg contains some sort of eldritch monster rather than a dragon. This egg seems fairly stable; however, the sprouting vine on top grows at a rate of five feet a day. Care must be taken to keep it trimmed. [/columns] [columns=2] [item=unhatched arcane egg] [nextcol] Bartered for by a group of alchemists from a group of alchemists in the Shifting Expanse, there is a fairly high chance that this egg contains some sort of eldritch monster rather than a dragon. This egg pulsates and flashes with a rainbow of different colors; it is difficult to look straight at it. If the hatchling inside is trying to cause everyone to have a flash-induced seizure, they're doing a very good job. Edit: the dragon who gathered this one, a Facet-eyed, insists that the hatchling itself is quite calm and stable, and that the eggshell alone is to blame. We have to take her at her word for now. [/columns] [columns=2] [item=unhatched nocturne egg] [nextcol] A racketeer rolled through the lair, and dazzled the treasurers into letting some gold and gems go in exchange for tickets. After coming to their senses, they berated themselves. They were rather surprised a few weeks later when a surprisingly heavy package landed on their doorstep. [/columns] [columns=2] [item=unhatched bogsneak egg] [nextcol] Brewed by the clan's chief alchemist. Since her first one was a complete accident, she hopes that this one turns out as well...

[center][b]The Chosen:[/b][/center] [i]Each egg has now been found. Each is secretly being incubated by its corresponding Flight Representative couple, hoping for a hatch tomorrow. Aoide sleeps uneasily; something looms in the shadows. Is it a blessing of the Tidelord? Or the curse of another deity?[/i] ((Hatching will begin around 6:30 FR time tomorrow. I will post each hatchling as a non-lore post; scries are welcome! After taking a moment to scry/review any of your scries, I will create the lore post. There will probably need to be a break in the middle for the scheduled maintenance!!!!!))

Her birthday was soon, and while she hadn't expected anything in particular, she knew that the clan was preparing for something big. She growled. The clan was doing well; the dens were expanding, the Flight Representatives were content, the nursery and barracks of Tideling were always full, the alchemists kept learning new things and adding new members to their ranks with a minimum of terrible smells or cliff-destroying explosions. The Banescale-Gaoler war had come to a temporary stalemate, although she was certain that the uneasy peace would not last. And yet... Her thoughts were interrupted by a quiet grumble behind her. She turned to see Boreas, the Clan Guardian. Her first mate and oldest friend, father of her heir...yes, it would be his birthday, too. She had been working on a plan for his birthday, but had forgotten recently. His genetics were finally beginning to show through, and he was going to be much more handsome than she had originally thought, but the fact remained that while they made great partners, they did not make good mates. Her own mate was much more suited to her. "It's almost time, isn't it?" Boreas rumbled. "Yes." She sensed an unspoken urgency behind the question. It was an urgency she felt as well. "You heard it, too. It was his voice, I know it..." "I did." "It's been so long...so long since we've heard it. No dragon has, except for Firstborns." "The Tidelord is still active and participating with us. His magic sustains us and all our clan members. It's just that...we haven't seen him or heard his voice." "Until now." "What can he mean for our clan? It's the anniversary of our birth, and thus the founding of our clan." Boreas pondered. "Perhaps the founding of a new clan? An offshoot of our own?" Aoide resumed her pacing. "I hope not. The Gaolers leaving hurt us too much." "We don't have enough information," the Guardian pointed out. "For now, all we can do is wait."

Something appeared to be off. He shook his head, and went to check with his father, the co-treasurer. Together they scoured the clan's vaults, and checked the gem and treasure counts. "No, you're right, there's definitely something missing," [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/56096290]Ocellus[/url] said. "A few of our more valuable familiars, several large landscape paintings..." A frazzled-looking female [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/57361575]Banescale[/url] flew up to them. "Have you seen a whole bunch of grey slime?" "Well, there's this stack you asked us to store for you last week," Spiritus pointed out. The slime wobbled and threatened to fall over. The Banescale steadied it automatically. "No, I had almost that much again back at the lab. But now it's gone, and so are two of my assistants!" "Hmm," Ocellus said. He glanced up to see a trio of dragons overhead, arguing loudly. They appeared to be juggling a large, mechanized box. [center][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/avatars/623748/62374768.png?mtime=Xx-1uQAANvo.png[/img][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/avatars/573431/57343027.png?mtime=XviLWAAAT4I.png[/img][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/avatars/522076/52207533.png?mtime=XyN4ugAAWak.png[/img][/center] Spiritus flew up and addressed them sternly. "What's all this?" "SHHH!" [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/62374768]Livewire[/url], the Tundra, smacked at the two Spirals. "We're home already! Aoide will hear!" "What's going on?" The Banescale had joined them. She gave a pointed glare to her two assistants. "I don't recall giving you the day off!" "Can we land first?" [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/57343027]Marquise[/url], the Light Spiral, pleaded. The box she was juggling appeared to be coated in ice. "We heard about a clan that was trading all their eggs, and we wanted to get some for Aoide's birthday!" Livewire explained. [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/52207533]Clawrice[/url], the Nature Spiral, held out a pair of eggs. "See? We got a Wind egg and a Light one." "And an Ice one," Marquise said forlornly. She was attempting to open the box, but the locks were frozen tight. "The magic is really, really strong with this one." "Erm," Spiritus said. "I think we'd better gather some Ice mages." "And some Fire ones, too," Clawrice added. It took the combined efforts of both Ice Reps, both Fire Reps, and an Ice Seer and a Fire blacksmith to get the box open. The Fire reps' primal daughter ended up melting the ice just enough to remove the egg and pass it to the representatives, and then she blasted the entire box with flame until all the ice had melted. With the egg safely contained by the two Ice Tundras, who were quite excited to feel cold once again, the treasurers turned back to the miscreants. "Well?" "Sorry." "We shouldn't have taken those things without telling you. Even if they belong to the clan as a whole." "We won't do it again." "No, you won't," Ocellus nodded emphatically. Then he stepped inside the cave, and returned with a few more valuable items. "Now you're going straight back there and getting as many more eggs as this will buy." "What?" "Really?" The treasurers nodded. "We wish we'd thought of that ourselves! It's an excellent idea." "You mean EGG-cellent," Livewire quipped. Everyone groaned. "You Lightning dragons," Nudibranch grunted. "Hurry back, though. I'm still trying to brew some things...and now I think I have an idea of what, exactly..."

Love reading through this! Best of luck on your hatch.

Ooh, this is fun! Pinglist please?
