A Little Bit about Stellon
Stellon is the name of the lost clan. Here's a condensed summary of its lore:

A long time ago, power-hungry Stellon sent out a dozen dragon pairs to grow fledgling clans all across the Starfall Isles, which he would later collect into a mega-clan. Maberry and Lightning were one such pair.

As their clan grew, Maberry and Lightning became convinced that they should be the ones ruling the dragons who followed them. When Stellon came to collect his debt, Maberry spurned him. A war ensued, won by Maberry through a tenacious will to survive and mastery of the Arcane landscape.

After Stellon was driven off, Maberry opened the clan to anyone who needed it, provided they could erect a few dens and perhaps gather foodstuffs. She named her clan after him to prove that she was not afraid of his wrath.

Numbers, Recovering the Missing, and What the Missing Means

Each time Trinka goes to a new elemental territory, a random number will be generated (1-8) that indicates the number of Stellon clan members are in the area. Let's say the number x is generated.

Every two weeks, Trinka will roll to see if she finds any information. There's a semi-arbitrary range involved that I made up so that HOPEFULLY, she spends about six months in every territory. She has a 10% chance of finding ANYONE every week. (The range she rolls will be (-8x)-x, and if she lands in the negative, she finds no dragons. If she lands in the positive, she learns the fate of that many dragons).

For every dragon she finds, she rolls AGAIN and discovers which of the Missing she has found. Once we know who she found, there's one more roll to decide their fate--Found, Dead, or Permanently Lost.

Found clan members are alive and can do whatever fits with their lore! They might join the Search or remain at an outpost or go on an adventure or something. Anything's fair game.

Dead clan members are immediately exalted. :( No one is safe from this--crossing my fingers that my progens don't meet this fate :,)

Permanently lost clan members are where I can be a bit creative. I might decide that they 'disappeared' (i.e., they're dead), or that they found a new clan when they were separated, or maybe they're lost in a less concrete sense--perhaps they have changed so much that who they used to be is gone

Every time Trinka leaves an area, she establishes an outpost to continue the search. Every week, the Outpost rolls two things: one random event and one planned event. The random event can be good or bad, and there is always a 1% chance they will randomly find a Stellon clan member. The planned event is one of four functions: plan, enlist, construct, or explore, which can succeed or fail but will likely change something in the Outpost.

Basically, blah blah blah numbers, if you want to take a look at how I'm doing this all, I coded this spreadsheet: here!


The Route
Once all of the clan members are found in a particular area, Trinka will move to the next. Because I am completing arcs over the summer (at least until I finish my education!), that means I have a rough guide for the next four locations or so (maybe more, depending on what degree I stop at! :D)

1. The Ashfall Waste
2. The Shifting Expanse
3. Sunbeam Ruins - summer 2022
4. The Viridian Labyrinth - summer 2023
5. The Tangled Wood - summer 2024
6. Dragonhome - 2025(?)
7. The Scarred Wasteland - 2026 (?)
8. Sea of a Thousand Currents - 2027 (?)
9. The Windswept Plateau - 2028 (?)
10. The Southern Icefield - 2029 (?)
11. Starfall Isles - 2030 (?)

ngl seeing 2030 makes me want to break out in hives >.>

Other Rules
I don't want this to be super high maintenance, but here's where I'll put any random rules that I think make sense lore-wise.

1. The only "new dragons" Trinka can add to the Seekers are dragons that are currently in the area she is searching. (so, if she's in the Ashfall Waste, new additions to the Seekers can only be dragons from clans that are also currently in the Ashfall Waste)
2. With every ten dragons, an outpost gains an additional action. For instance, an outpost with 18 dragons can perform TWO actions per week, since an outpost starts out with one.

The Story So Far
This story is getting a little long, so I wanted to write a summary for all of you not willing to subject yourself to 80 pages of my writing haha.

So, funny story. The summary was getting ridiculously long, so I moved it to a Google Doc. Here is the summary! Maybe one day I'll make an ultra-condensed summary, since this doc is also rapidly lengthening.

Here's a link to a doc to get the complete story!

As they grow, random events befall or bless them, causing their size and quality to fluctuate. They can perform certain tasks to improve their lot or search for the last dragons of Stellon. As Trinka's influence is taken away from the dragons of these Outposts, they tend to become curiously independent and less focused on the task at hand... --------- [columns][url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/cc/2979903/1#post_46640064][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/static/layout/lair_icons/42.png[/img][/url][nextcol][size=4][size=4][b][font=sylfaen]The First Outpost[/font][/b][/size][/size] An outpost that has grown into its own clan of sorts, the First Outpost is an almost impossibly delightful place to see.
