@gn0me Yeah, I don't mind people using that headcanon at all! And I love the idea of Lightning dragons thinking it's bad luck to have never been struck in their lives lol

Ohh, this is a fun one! Still working out various clan-wide superstitions, but I do know that they tend to avoid the waterfall on the outskirts of the city. Though the lake at the base of the falls itself is fine, there’s…something living behind the waterfall that isn’t. Those who do hear the creature’s song either vanish entirely, or come back changed somehow.

Pythia avoids looking in mirrors midnight to dawn. She believes that if she does, any spirits trapped within will either try to manipulate her, or find a way out by possessing her.

Brane thinks something bad will happen to him if he doesn’t take his cats everywhere. He claims they bring him good luck. Truthfully he just doesn’t want to leave them at home when he’s working.

It is believed that clan members shouldn’t venture into the forest surrounding the city on their own - unless they’re experienced or have a guide with them. There are various spirits and monsters residing there, and some clan members see them as a bad omen.
I finally have some time to actually do some lore whining today.


I know my old clan had superstitions like "Danger will befall you if you don't name your sword" or "Evil comes to those without the soothing sound of a wind chime". The latter of the two being the only one that has really carried over and only by some of those that are really in to preserving the old clan.

new superstitions would probably include something like the various urban legends surrounding the creepy towering windmill like it's haunted, or some other creepy entity lives there. which scares off some but has also caused some curious hatchlings to try and venture out to the windmill on a dare but thankfully they get scared off before facing any of the real danger that actually lies in there.
another superstition would be "Throwing coins in the wishing well will grant you good luck". So often dragons will be seen tossing in coins hoping for some good luck. if the day ends up unlucky they just believe they didn't toss enough coins into the well.
There would probably be another one that some parents tell their hatchings "if you don't be good you'll be turned into a plant" which that claim would further be backed up by showing them Jasper a dragon turned plant which usually terrifies the hatchlings.



that's about all i can think of at the moment. I don't really have any lore plans today though i might try to answer some previous prompts later.

Lore Whining Time!



Prompt for October 24th, 2023

Since it's riot of rot it's time for Plague! So like usual write about a dragon that most represents plague flight weather it be your favorite plague dragon or a dragon that is strong and able to adapt to their surroundings or just a dragon heavily dressed in plague apparel. Can also just be your favorite Mirrior or Aberration. (or maybe even wildclaw since even though they are nature i think a bunch of them live in the wandering contagion. I know leave it to the wildclaw addict to find a way to shove wildclaws into everything.)

Oh boi it's ambassador time! I have one I'm really proud of and one that I. have no idea what to do with. This is Myke. [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/81627349][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/816274/81627349_350.png[/img][/url] He's our comms guy. He works with multiple different flights and magitechnologies; with some researchers here in Nature, he's helped develop a way of piggybacking messages on the mycelium network that connects the trees. It's surprisingly reliable, even past areas where trees have been destroyed - as long as the trees' roots have stayed relatively intact. But within the clan, he also deals with more conventional mail and communication methods in and out, keeping us connected to the rest of the [s]trees[/s] world. This is Lycus. [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/46377713][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/463778/46377713_350.png[/img][/url] I have had him for four years. He might be my only flight ambassador that I have not figured out a shred of lore for. I've gotten no inspiration, no vibes. He might have some sort of camouflage ability, inspired by the fact that he was originally a scatterscroll project, but I don't [i]know[/i] and I don't know what to [i]do[/i] with him.

Oh! How could I forget! He's not an ambassador but he's got very Plague ideals. [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/28156936][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/281570/28156936_350.png[/img][/url] He doesn't have a name. He's one of the hatchling caretakers. Every piece of his apparel has the potential to be dangerous. This is a valuable lesson. (don't worry, he [i]tries[/i] not to let the kiddos Actually get hurt! But we have the medics to treat them if they do [emoji=fae happy size=2])

And he’s willing to do anything - so long as he’s paid for it. Right now, he’s posing as a fortune teller. He’s surprised at how well he’s doing, to be honest. It probably wouldn’t do anyone any good to annoy Libra - he might come off worst in a fight, but there are other ways to bring someone down. And Libra’s rather knowledgeable in some of them.

Lore Whining Time!

I didn't forget, just been busy.
Anyway looks like there is a new on site pinglist feature so i guess we can try shifting over to that list instead. Though i know the current list has 90 people so i dunno how easy of a task that would be.

Prompt for November 4th, 2023

Today's prompt was suggested by gn0me.
Quote:
Flight dreaming... do your dragons/clan dream of living in another Flight's territory one day?
Have they already?
Have they fled from another territory?
Does your clan have multiple Flight's they are spread out across?
Or do they feel completely at home where they are - never tempted to live anywhere else?

Been struggling with Sromaigh’s lore for a while, but today I finally managed to write something I’m fairly pleased with! Meant I could finally move him out of the hibden anyway.
