Flight Rising Discussion

Honestly I opened this thread expecting like cannibalism or something I'm glad I was pleasantly surprised with mostly wholesome content.

I wouldn't be surprised if some flights had various regional cuisines or methods of preparing food. Water definitely has stuff like sushi or other seafood dishes in plentiful supply. Plague does stuff like fermentation, with cheese, wine, etc. Nature possibly has a lot of fruits and nuts, and I wouldn't be surprised if Fire has a lot of smoked or cooked food (and by that, I mean it's either intentionally placed in a furnace/oven or something, or they just tend to accidentally cook their food by setting it aside and the volcanic heat getting to it. Ice might have foods that taste better or at least decent cold, due to the environment (snow cones might be popular among hatchlings.) but I imagine ice dragons might also enjoy hot foods (especially for those not native to the Southern Icefield. This sort of thing probably exists in the Ashfall Wastes too, but with cold food).

I would say Earth does farming, but now that I think about it, the soil in Dragonhome might be too rocky and the environment too arid and dry to do any farming. Light flight might do some farming, though, like grape yards and olives and stuff like that which you think about when thinking of Ancient Greece. They probably try to learn wine-making, but aren't as skilled with it as Plague. Arcane... gives me vibes of someone making cereal or getting some food ready and then studying and forgetting to eat, the food going cold or the cereal getting soggy.

[quote name="Wulfraptor" date="2021-10-27 13:53:59" ] I'm not sure plague can afford to be stationary enough to do any sort of fermentation... I figured plague clans were forced to be nomadic same with dragons that call dragon home well home. [/quote] i know Mirrors are known to be nomadic, but not all Plague dragons are Mirrors, so it stands to reason that there would be those types that don't care for it that would make other kinds of settlements. with elemental territories being basically the size of countries, i don't doubt there are many types or mentalities and behaviors. i plan for my new 'progens' on having a kind of roadside stop that specializes in pickled/fermented/preserved foods for those groups running by there. things that can last long, either for the long haul run, or that would still be good if you stash it away for your next trip back past somewhere. those who have good idea on what beneficial bacteria can do for you just as well as the harmful things.
