Flight Rising Discussion

THIS IS SOMETHING IVE THOUGHT ABOUT IMMENSELY. these are just the ones that like. ive thought even More about. but if people like these ill definitely do the other flights cuz i got my ideas stewing in there. [emoji=light rune size=1] heavy usage of string and keyboard instruments and choirs. in light flight orchestras, you'll have a large portion dedicated to vocalists and typically less on the instruments as they're more supplementary. the music itself is archaic in its tradition yet awe-inspiring across generations. common light flight instruments include harps, celestas, lutes, organs, and mandolins. [emoji=plague rune size=1] little to no usage of traditional instruments but rather focuses on heavily improvisational diy instruments (made of naught but the best of bones, sinew, hides!) and war chants. plague dragons typically have small tightly knit bands that travel across the wastes and the rest of sornieth, shrieking bombastic songs of conquest and strength while grimly touting the remains of their finest kills. common plague flight instruments include....whatever they can scrounge up, really. [emoji=shadow rune size=1] a very strong appreciation for the art of theatre and performance, shadow flight gets pretty experimental with their music. the absolute thespians of the flight are regarded for keeping their traditions of cabaret and opera well into relevance. some dragons, however, prefer differing genres while still keeping the performance aspect of things. particularly in the newer generations of the flight, theres quite the interest in jazz and ambient synthy tunes (in my head i imagine they're big into the likes of dark ambient and dungeon synth). common shadow flight instruments include brass instruments, bowed string instruments, harpsichords, and analogue synths. [emoji=lightning rune size=1] SORNIETH'S #1 INDUSTRIAL PRODUCERS. with the advent of technology, lightning flight instantly got on top of the electronic music world. they're incredibly bombastic and Charged in their performances, screeching lyrics with many mechanical motifs while hammering away at electric guitars with more distortion pedals than you can dream of...its good stuff to get work done to! AND you can dream about overthrowing your manager to it, to! common lightning flight instruments include electric bass and guitars, synthesizers, circuit-broken instruments, and diy noise machines. [emoji=fire rune size=1] if lightning flight is the industrial powerhouse, fire flight are the real metalheads. both flights take a lot of influence from each other's music and have quite the history of collaboration! you love to see [s]unions working[/s] artists collaborating together! fire's style of metal takes a lot of influence from thrash, doom and noise metal. they like it loud, and they like it heavy. many young, rebellious dragons all across sornieth come flocking down to see their favorite metal bands. some parents are concerned...but it's nothing to worry about. [i]it's not a phase, mom[/i]. common fire flight instruments include electric guitars/bass and heavy percussion

Random Lore Idea:
Tundras have scent-based music. They have trouble remembering songs but can associate certain themes and melodies with scents. So when they smell the right thing - a dragon, a campfire, a type of food - they'll start humming. They've passed down folk songs for hundreds of years that way, the song always changing but the feeling remaining intact. Some of the songs are believed to stem from the Gaolers (in fact, researchers have found what they believe is the original lyrics to a lot of common songs after Gaolers emerged).

The more traditional Gaolers actively hate this, because to them perseveration is everything. Their songs - largely reliant on singing with no instruments - are kept as close to the original as possible. Deviation is seen as tarnishing the original intent.

This has led to a lot of debate in the Southern Icefield over the meaning of preservation. Gaolers insist it's about remaining close to the original, while Tundras are adamant that its about keeping the songs alive.
