Flight Rising Discussion

A while ago- I think a year now lol- I made 100 lore questions and said I might make a weekly / biweekly thing where I make more questions with themes... And I *might* still do that. Questions keep popping into my head that I've been writing down here and there.

I do have a list of potential themes to go along with but for now I decided to do kind of general stuff that just popped into my head. (Also, my brain is kinda slow so if you have suggestions for themes that'd be cool)

But yeah here's 15 random questions that popped into my head while grinding in the Coli lol


1. Does your clan celebrate the passing of a year like we do?

2. Are there any crazy mythical creatures in your lore? Or alternatively; Cryptids?

3. For a long time, humans used colors like purple and gold to symbolize royalty. Is any color seen/used as royal exclusive or for important individuals?

4. Can all dragons realistically fly in your lore? Or are some grounded due to their small wings? (Snappers/Bogsneaks)

5. Is your clan aiding in the search for Tidepop?

6. Is your clan at all concerned about what happened to Eartdad?

7. Any concern for what may happen to future deities?

8. How did your clan handle the whole thing with the Obelisks?

9. Earthdad made the Obelisks himself. Yet when we as players obtained them, they randomly had other elements after being "hatched" and were not exclusively Earth... Did anyone in your clan notice such or was it even a concern? Was it potentially explained in your lore?

10. How'd your clan come across the first Undertide?

11. Actually, how does your clan feel in general to these Ancients popping up?

12. Is there any bad blood between Ancient and Modern counterparts? (Gaolers feeling contempt/resentment towards Tundras or vise-versa.)

13. Is the Shade a factor / relevant in your lore?

14. We often joke about certain features on dragons, (long neck Fae, male Ridgeback nose, etc.) would your dragons joke amongst themselves about another's appearance at all?

15. Would certain dragons be seen as more beautiful / attractive to others dependent on their genes / colors? (Like to us a tomato poison/moss eye spots/eldritch thylacine isn't seen as a pretty dragon, but in-universe / lore it'd be beautiful to plenty of dragons.)



Aaaaand that's it for now.

answering this questions cause i like them!

1. Does your clan celebrate the passing of a year like we do?:
yes, they do! they usually spend time with each other till midnight to fire some fireworks whos flares looks like the deities, the castle is open for everyone for the whole day, they can eat there, do some activities, or just looks around. the king and queen won't mind, neither the plague being.

2. Are there any crazy mythical creatures in your lore? Or alternatively; Cryptids?:
yes.
there's a myth around the kingdom about "the awakened one" one of the plague beings "friend", it doesn't attempt to destroy the kingdom with the being there. but it can destroy, rebuild and foresee the the future.

3. For a long time, humans used colors like purple and gold to symbolize royalty. Is any color seen/used as royal exclusive or for important individuals?:
hmm. no, since they're not like other kingdoms they don't have any color to symbolize royalty.

4. Can all dragons realistically fly in your lore? Or are some grounded due to their small wings? (Snappers/Bogsneaks):
most yes. eternal young dragons usually fly faster then most, ito is land bound while mizuki isn't,
this is a whole can of worms that i am afraid to touch LMAO

5. Is your clan aiding in the search for Tidepop?:
king and queen are helping with dragons who are interested to find the tidelord, they do not want any of their guards to be hurt so they're the ones who usually tries to search for him.

6. Is your clan at all concerned about what happened to Eartdad?:
nope, they all believe that the earth deity is good and well due to the great arcanist visiting the plague being and giving it some updates on the search for the tidelord

7. Any concern for what may happen to future deities?:
no not at all but most are concerned about the shadow deity finding them

8. How did your clan handle the whole thing with the Obelisks?:
they vibe within the kingdom due to their loyalty to help with their duties.

9. Earthdad made the Obelisks himself. Yet when we as players obtained them, they randomly had other elements after being "hatched" and were not exclusively Earth... Did anyone in your clan notice such or was it even a concern? Was it potentially explained in your lore?:
most but they always shrugged this thought off

10. How'd your clan come across the first Undertide?:
ever since the accident between the king and queen most were concerned for their health. they're doing fine and the citizens will always welcome any species to the kingdom

11. Actually, how does your clan feel in general to these Ancients popping up?:
since little to no ancients were causing any threat to the lands they don't mind living with them.

12. Is there any bad blood between Ancient and Modern counterparts? (Gaolers feeling contempt/resentment towards Tundras or vise-versa.):
nah.

13. Is the Shade a factor / relevant in your lore?:
maybe but not too sure since the plague being drives off any evil dragons that were found in the kingdom, somehow the evil statue that resides in a churches hasn't been found by it, i'm surprised by that lol

14. We often joke about certain features on dragons, (long neck Fae, male Ridgeback nose, etc.) would your dragons joke amongst themselves about another's appearance at all?:
they all do, they always laugh about most features among the species, lol

15. Would certain dragons be seen as more beautiful / attractive to others dependent on their genes / colors? (Like to us a tomato poison/moss eye spots/eldritch thylacine isn't seen as a pretty dragon, but in-universe / lore it'd be beautiful to plenty of dragons.):
no, not at all since the kingdom is driven by welcomeness and being nice to one another, they literally have a infected snapper within their lands who helps with the commanders duties due to her having experience with fighting and hunting.

1. Does your clan celebrate the passing of a year like we do?

Yes, in a way. They don’t have a massive party, but individuals will get together and have drinks/some good food. No fireworks though…they might attract the wrong sort of attention.

Not everyone celebrates, but then that’s fine.

2. Are there any crazy mythical creatures in your lore? Or alternatively; Cryptids?

I’ve got a few monsters and spirits. There’s a Shade-possessed Pearlcatcher statue in the main square.

3. For a long time, humans used colors like purple and gold to symbolize royalty. Is any color seen/used as royal exclusive or for important individuals?

Nah. A lot of clan members don’t even care that much about what they wear, let alone the colour.

4. Can all dragons realistically fly in your lore? Or are some grounded due to their small wings? (Snappers/Bogsneaks)

They can mostly fly, yes. Those that have big enough wings, anyway. A few might use magic to help, or maybe the steampunk wing sets if their wings aren’t up to long flights. Some are grounded, but that’s due to injury.

5. Is your clan aiding in the search for Tidepop?

Not really.

6. Is your clan at all concerned about what happened to Eartdad?

No.

7. Any concern for what may happen to future deities?

Not really. They’re not that bothered about any of the deities to be honest.

8. How did your clan handle the whole thing with the Obelisks?

Well…they seem to be alright. Emerging from statues is a little odd, but then again, the clan have seen odder things happen before.

9. Earthdad made the Obelisks himself. Yet when we as players obtained them, they randomly had other elements after being "hatched" and were not exclusively Earth... Did anyone in your clan notice such or was it even a concern? Was it potentially explained in your lore?

Honestly…not really. They just assumed that since dragons normally come from different locations - then it must be the same for these guys.

10. How'd your clan come across the first Undertide?

Bedwyr found them, as it happened. He’d been exploring the shallow waters around the clan’s coastline, and came across a few members fishing. There was a bit of tension at first, but things soon got sorted out between them.

11. Actually, how does your clan feel in general to these Ancients popping up?

Varies. Some feel that it’s a sign that something bad might happen. Others are just happy to have new friends.

12. Is there any bad blood between Ancient and Modern counterparts? (Gaolers feeling contempt/resentment towards Tundras or vise-versa.)

Eh…that’s not something I’ve really explored much. Maybe?

13. Is the Shade a factor / relevant in your lore?

Yes. There’s at least one individual who has had contact with the Shade.

14. We often joke about certain features on dragons, (long neck Fae, male Ridgeback nose, etc.) would your dragons joke amongst themselves about another's appearance at all?

Some might. Doing so publicly is frowned upon, but yeah, there might be a few comments on someone’s appearance in private.

15. Would certain dragons be seen as more beautiful / attractive to others dependent on their genes / colors? (Like to us a tomato poison/moss eye spots/eldritch thylacine isn't seen as a pretty dragon, but in-universe / lore it'd be beautiful to plenty of dragons.)

Thinking on it, yes. There’s a couple (both in my lore and on site) who are nothing remarkable in terms of genes/colours, but they must’ve seen something in each other.

1. Does your clan celebrate the passing of a year like we do? Yes! Crazy festivals, magic fireworks, a massive feast!

2. Are there any crazy mythical creatures in your lore? Or alternatively; Cryptids? Protogens and dutchies canonically exist in my lore. Other than that only what is canon. Thats crazy enough.

3. For a long time, humans used colors like purple and gold to symbolize royalty. Is any color seen/used as royal exclusive or for important individuals? Blue.

4. Can all dragons realistically fly in your lore? Or are some grounded due to their small wings? (Snappers/Bogsneaks) Some are disabled, others cant fly because of there species.

5. Is your clan aiding in the search for Tidepop? Thats water clans buisness.

6. Is your clan at all concerned about what happened to Eartdad? Mildly concerned, but still minding there own clans business.

7. Any concern on what may happen to future dieties?
They are scared that flamemother or baldwin (he´s worshiped as a diety in my lore) is gonna disappear. Especially because baldwin isn't immortal like the others.

8. How did your clan handle the whole thing with the Obelisks?
They just welcomed them in! Were all dragons after all. I imagine snappers were a little salty though.

9. Earthdad made the Obelisks himself. Yet when we as players obtained them, they randomly had other elements after being "hatched" and were not exclusively Earth... Did anyone in your clan notice such or was it even a concern? Was it potentially explained in your lore? They just thought it was on purpose. They do not care.

10. How'd your clan come across the first Undertide?
A fishing dragon went deep sea diving, and found one.

11. Actually, how does your clan feel in general to these Ancients popping up?
Some of them are seen as uncivilized, but they don't hate them.

12. Is there any bad blood between Ancient and Modern counterparts? (Gaolers feeling contempt/resentment towards Tundras or vise-versa.)
No. We don't hold any bad blood.

13. Is the Shade a factor / relevant in your lore?
Yes. Its canon the things in the coli are shade possesed.
14. We often joke about certain features on dragons, (long neck Fae, male Ridgeback nose, etc.) would your dragons joke amongst themselves about another's appearance at all?
They call faes bugs.
15. Would certain dragons be seen as more beautiful / attractive to others dependent on their genes / colors? (Like to us a tomato poison/moss eye spots/eldritch thylacine isn't seen as a pretty dragon, but in-universe / lore it'd be beautiful to plenty of dragons.)
Blue dragons are pretty.

1. Does your clan celebrate the passing of a year like we do?

Mine likely wouldn't, at very least i haven't written lore about it

2. Are there any crazy mythical creatures in your lore? Or alternatively; Cryptids?

None that haven't been proven as real. Examples being shade touched or emperors. However i do imagine they fear land wyrms/sand worms that swallow dragons whole- and similar desert based cryptids.

They also believe in desert zombies who lure you in with cries for help before dragging you below the sand with them.

3. For a long time, humans used colors like purple and gold to symbolize royalty. Is any color seen/used as royal exclusive or for important individuals?

Not really, it's more about respect than showing off. Partly due to the limited resources my clan has access too- clothes are a bit luxurious in themselves. And you're expected to wear those same clothes for a long time.

4. Can all dragons realistically fly in your lore? Or are some grounded due to their small wings? (Snappers/Bogsneaks)

Yep! Only ones who can't are Gaolers because.. even i can't stretch my imagination that far

5. Is your clan aiding in the search for Tidepop?

Nope, though in my lore the disappearance of him led to water dragon security concerns. Leading to my random progen having to go over there and be a guard for a bit.

Though my clan is hybrid earth/water, so they are invested in the search.

6. Is your clan at all concerned about what happened to Eartdad?

To be completely honest i forgot all about that bit. But they'd definitely be living in fear.

7. Any concern for what may happen to future deities?

They aren't too concerned what happens to other deities. Except of course certain dragons who have a fondness for their home element.

8. How did your clan handle the whole thing with the Obelisks?

With welcoming arms. Though some of the wary non-earth dragons were hesitant about it all. But especially with one of my progens been turned into one, they've gotten used to them.

9. Earthdad made the Obelisks himself. Yet when we as players obtained them, they randomly had other elements after being "hatched" and were not exclusively Earth... Did anyone in your clan notice such or was it even a concern? Was it potentially explained in your lore?

Yep! Mine was actually water. So it's explained that been so close to the water in the cave, he got the magic energies of water instead.

But i also like to think it's due to earthpop wanting to unite the flights again. Thus making them different flights in some sort of message to his fellow deities that he still is open to peace?

10. How'd your clan come across the first Undertide?

Well uh.. they haven't yet ^-^' i barely missed the update so no undertide scroll. Though i've no desire for one yet anyway

11. Actually, how does your clan feel in general to these Ancients popping up?

Not too fussed, tho abs make them very concerned about what other horrors plaguemom could be hiding.

12. Is there any bad blood between Ancient and Modern counterparts? (Gaolers feeling contempt/resentment towards Tundras or vise-versa.)

Not really, if anything i imagine they're treated like older/younger siblings. Though some would definitely not approve of their counterpart.

13. Is the Shade a factor / relevant in your lore?

YES. Infact it plays a huge role in my lore overall

14. We often joke about certain features on dragons, (long neck Fae, male Ridgeback nose, etc.) would your dragons joke amongst themselves about another's appearance at all?

Depends on the dragon really. Though i imagine there are a few things associated with certain breeds consistently. Like mono toned faes even when my lore has mostly expressive faes.

15. Would certain dragons be seen as more beautiful / attractive to others dependent on their genes / colors? (Like to us a tomato poison/moss eye spots/eldritch thylacine isn't seen as a pretty dragon, but in-universe / lore it'd be beautiful to plenty of dragons.)

Yep! Personal preferences and all

1. Does your clan celebrate the passing of a year like we do?

Nope not notably at the moment. Or rather, I never thought about whether they would or not.

2. Are there any crazy mythical creatures in your lore? Or alternatively; Cryptids?

Some but they're not usually part of the main lore groups and are more "wanderers".
I'd say most are cryptids/monsters. Like Wights, one based off the pied piper urban legend, ghosts, etc.

3. For a long time, humans used colors like purple and gold to symbolize royalty. Is any color seen/used as royal exclusive or for important individuals?

Nah. I go by vibes or lore inspiration. Although, my commanders in my main lore groups are all double gen 1s. They're said to be chosen by the deities for the position.
Generally though, generation also doesn't matter bc I also have a gen 1 wc who is a lowly gardener, a gen 1 wc who is a servant to non-gen 1 royals, and a gen 1 coatl who's a poet/gardener.

4. Can all dragons realistically fly in your lore? Or are some grounded due to their small wings? (Snappers/Bogsneaks)

Snappers, gaolers, and bogs can't. Usually for these things I do go by canon lore.

5. Is your clan aiding in the search for Tidepop?

Nope. They aren't affiliated with the water flight outside the water ambassador so really only she is the worried one who might be helping look.

6. Is your clan at all concerned about what happened to Eartdad?

No? I don't actually remember something happening to him tbh. I thought he just left/went on his way after making the Obelisks.

7. Any concern for what may happen to future deities?

If more things happen, especially to Plaguebringer or Shadowbinder, then they probably will get more concerned but as of right now, nope.

8. How did your clan handle the whole thing with the Obelisks?

They sent a rep to see what was going on and to bring home the statue. Given the Earthshaker created it himself, they did consider the dragons who were born directly from his work as important.
The fact they were made to fight/defend against a threat has made them keen to learn more.

9. Earthdad made the Obelisks himself. Yet when we as players obtained them, they randomly had other elements after being "hatched" and were not exclusively Earth... Did anyone in your clan notice such or was it even a concern? Was it potentially explained in your lore?

Nope, not a concern. Ofc my clan's so happened to come out as Eath XD
My explanation is that there were supposedly a ton of clans helping with the dig that the elemental energy might've drawn from upon creation or that they gained their element while passing through other flights to get to their new clan (maybe getting their new clan's element similar to how eggs work)

Could also be that Earthshaker used rocks from across sornieth to make the statues so their flight came from those

10. How'd your clan come across the first Undertide?

This guy was fishing and caught one. He originally thought it was some weird sea serpent until they grew bigger & news reached the clan of the new ancient

11. Actually, how does your clan feel in general to these Ancients popping up?

Cautious. Why are they here and why are they suddenly returning?
But overall, they don't mind them joining the clan. In fact, a gaoler and pc formed a prison together to hold shade possessed creatures & an emperor (among lesser dragon criminals)

12. Is there any bad blood between Ancient and Modern counterparts? (Gaolers feeling contempt/resentment towards Tundras or vise-versa.)

Nope! In fact during a locke I ran when gaolers came out, they were more just curious. Any resentment or dislike would be individual based.

13. Is the Shade a factor / relevant in your lore?

Yes... somewhat. It isn't a huge plot point but they exist.

14. We often joke about certain features on dragons, (long neck Fae, male Ridgeback nose, etc.) would your dragons joke amongst themselves about another's appearance at all?

Nope. It's normal for a breed to have those. Any insults would probably be due to arguments where they're just trying to sound insulting

I do have 1 instance where a mirror made fun of my tundra, Rabbit, for the breed's poor memory (which he doesn't have bc he has an imp father) and the fact his hatchling fur never came out completely

15. Would certain dragons be seen as more beautiful / attractive to others dependent on their genes / colors? (Like to us a tomato poison/moss eye spots/eldritch thylacine isn't seen as a pretty dragon, but in-universe / lore it'd be beautiful to plenty of dragons.)

Yes but this is like any person irl. So what might be hideous to some, may be perfect for others. So it reall is person preference

1. Does your clan celebrate the passing of a year like we do?
Sort of! My clan's new-years is on the Winter Solstice, and in canon they probably do celebrate it, I just haven't noted it down anywhere.

2. Are there any crazy mythical creatures in your lore? Or alternatively; Cryptids?
Vampires, werewolves, barghests, the Fair Folk, and a number of cursed and cryptid-like figures. My favorite is still Baskor, who is followed by a flock of Death Seekers and steals the memories of people when they get lost in the woods around my clan. He's my original cryptid and I'm sure he's enjoying all the chaos.

3. For a long time, humans used colors like purple and gold to symbolize royalty. Is any color seen/used as royal exclusive or for important individuals?
Nope! Purple was a royal color because the dye for purple was super rare and therefore extremely expensive; my clan doesn't have those kinds of constraints on dyes (or naturally colored leathers), so anyone can wear what colors they want.

4. Can all dragons realistically fly in your lore? Or are some grounded due to their small wings? (Snappers/Bogsneaks)
Snappers, Bogsneaks, and Gaolers are all grounded. I like having some grounded breeds because it adds more weight to flight in general, and also gives an excuse for things to be built for those breeds -- a Snapper merchant might need a long winding road through the mountains, but if they could fly, why have a road there?

5. Is your clan aiding in the search for Tidepop?
No, my clan is landlocked and very far from the Sea of a Thousand Currents.

6. Is your clan at all concerned about what happened to Earthdad?
Not particularly, though I'm sure some of my Earth dragons are anxiously waiting to hear what's happened. Dragonhome is very far away from the Southern Icefield so there's nothing more than can be done except for worry and wait for news.

7. Any concern for what may happen to future deities?
I keep answering no and I feel bad, so I'll jot this down as a it's complicated. My clan views the deities as, well, deities -- to be concerned about the Icewarden is just as good as doubting his ability to handle himself or his mental faculties.

8. How did your clan handle the whole thing with the Obelisks?
I don't tend to introduce new breeds into my lore as though they're wholly new creations. Obelisks simply exist, just like Ancients simply exist.

9. Earthdad made the Obelisks himself. Yet when we as players obtained them, they randomly had other elements after being "hatched" and were not exclusively Earth... Did anyone in your clan notice such or was it even a concern? Was it potentially explained in your lore?
Look at 8.

10. How'd your clan come across the first Undertide?
It showed up with the faerie Courts and never left! But to be serious, look at 8.

11. Actually, how does your clan feel in general to these Ancients popping up?
Look at 8.

12. Is there any bad blood between Ancient and Modern counterparts? (Gaolers feeling contempt/resentment towards Tundras or vise-versa.)
Yes! Gaolers do see Tundras (and other Moderns) as "lessers" compared to them, at least when concerned with doing the Icewarden's bidding. But that depends on the individual, and there's plenty of frustration from both sides.

13. Is the Shade a factor / relevant in your lore?
Yep. I'd say its the main antagonist but its more of a plot device than an actual being. I describe it in my lore as a deity of chaos, which therefore cannot be a thinking being at all without diluting itself; which means that acolytes, avatars, etc, of the Shade are the true brains behind the operation.

14. We often joke about certain features on dragons, (long neck Fae, male Ridgeback nose, etc.) would your dragons joke amongst themselves about another's appearance at all?
I think my dragons would handle those topics much like humans handle joking jabs or insults about our appearances -- between close friends it might be okay, but a stranger doing it is offensive.

15. Would certain dragons be seen as more beautiful / attractive to others dependent on their genes / colors? (Like to us a tomato poison/moss eye spots/eldritch thylacine isn't seen as a pretty dragon, but in-universe / lore it'd be beautiful to plenty of dragons.)
Probably. A dragon might find different combinations of genes and colors attractive or ugly compared to other dragons. But colors/genes isn't EVERYTHING -- though FR doesn't show it, there's also different bodytypes, facial structures, wing lengths, etc. Someone can have bad hair but a pretty jawline, you know?

1. I imagine they probably do, idk how but they would.

2. Half my lore is centered around that.

3. Nope, tbf there isn't really a government in my clan. The leaders are just sort of the unofficial leaders since they're the ones who founded it.

4. They don't really fly since they're in the middle of an extremely dense forest. Flying isn't really a worry in the first place although I assume if they did my snappers and gaolers still wouldn't fly.

5. No, it's in the southern icefields but I imagine they have somewhat of an idea of that whole thing.

6. My one earth derg probably has worries but other than that I doubt it.

7. They already have to worry about goddamn magically beings attacking their campsite, I think right now the deities are in the backburner

8. Canonically my only Obelisk is a magic golem made by the local mage so they took it fairly well I assume.

9. gestures to point above

10. I have none lol

11. They're chill with the ancients. They just kinda vibe with one another.

12. Like I said they're all friends, also helps my few ancients don't really follow their lore.

13. There are some funky necromancy shittake that has to do with the shade but it isn't an active player in the lore.

14. Oh they totally do.

15. That's probably up to personal taste of my dragons. One of em is literally a prince and fell in love with a living ice statue. Go figure.
