Flight Rising Discussion

If there's no wind... then there's no wind flight except in spirit and beliefs.

Now its...the sky flight?

Luckily the 'Sky Flight' only existed for a few days.

[quote name="Serpenthyne" date="2018-03-09 11:40:06" ] New headcanon: Windsinger accidentally turned off the Crescendo for a month and just... forgot. And when he realized the wind wasn't on he panicked and turned it back on, except backwards, because classic scatterbrained Windpop. [/quote] I...love that so much. Also, I'm pretty sure I can hear Aequorin chuckling darkly in the recesses of this thread while we pick apart the cryptic comments.

Oh, all the staff must be cackling about now, for sure.

A mortal (semi-mortal?) child of the Windsinger perhaps? Given this spiral is referred to as "they" rather than "he." Otherwise, Windsinger is playing up the trickster god role here.

I actually had to go back and check the original lore just to make sure, but wow, the Windsinger is literally the only deity to not have any pronouns or gender attributes mentioned! I am so, [i]so[/i] in support of genderfluid Windsinger, I can't believe that's something no one has noticed before! [/quote] ------------------ [quote=the map]The sorrowful, crumbling remains of the final vestiges of peace between the elemental flights. It is this monument alone that towered above the world, acting as the base of a great magical shield whose purpose was to protect the land from the roaming Shade, a devouring plague of darkness. The Earthshaker has existed here for time immemorial, both guarding and mourning the structure that once [b]held his brothers and sisters together.[/b] [/quote] [quote=windsinger's thoughts]I will create thousands of children, [b]thought the Windsinger[/b], the air will be cleansed and painted in a plethora of colored brushes. My flight will carry the stories of the realm, and tell of its history. A pity that the others will never know a similar joy. [/quote] however [quote=chapter one] But before the blackness had entirely set in, the Flamecaller roared, breathing great bright flames from [b]her[/b] jaws[/quote] …its a bit [i]up in the air[/i]

[quote name="Apfelobst" date="2018-03-09 11:53:46" ] Other possibilitie: The young spiral was the Twisting Crescendo him-/herself, who turned into a spiral dragon. This would explain why the spiral danced so easy in the air and danced without the wind! Also it would explain why he/she got the windsinger idol. She/He got it from windsinger as a warning that she should turn back to a Crescendo. Which she/he did but she/he didn't like that warning and so she just made herself backwards. This would also explan why she wasn't their anymore, when the storm was back. [/quote] I like your theory, but.. why are you putting so much effort into not using they pronouns? It's way easier and considerably less clunky, plus that's how the spiral was referred to in the first place. It just makes the post super awkward to read imo

It's not ignorant, some people also think that it's a bit more respectful is all because to some people "them/they" feels a bit like calling someone or some thing [b]"it"[/b] since they have been conditioned to refer to things as either "him" or "her" for so long since well childhood! =)

I wonder, actually, if that spiral - if not the Windsinger - was akin to one of the ever so popular flight reps/deity reps so many of us have!
