Guides

i wanted to check if my lair was missing any essential careers, so i was thinking of what i do each day, acting as my clan. i began a list of all the jobs each link on the sidebar may require...& i decided to turn it into a guide! follow along and see if you can fill in any gaps in your clan! in addition to the careers, i've included some questions that can hopefully inspire some extra lorebuilding! [LIST] [*] [b]Clan[/b] [LIST] [*] [b]Lair [/b]- architect, construction crew, housing coordinator, doctor/healer [quote=questions]how is your lair divided - do dragons cohabitate communally, or does everyone have their own space? do all members of a family live together in adulthood, or is there enough space for adult children to have their own dens? do the leaders live amongst their clanmates, or do they have a distinct residence? are there temporary lodgings available for travelers or new arrivals?[/quote] [*] [b]Nesting Grounds[/b] - matchmaker, hatchling caregiver, nest guard, eggsitter, doula, hatchling doctor [quote=questions]where are the nesting grounds located in your lair? are they hidden out of sight, or do they need to be guarded? are nests and hatchlings cared for on a community or individual basis? is there a place for baby dragons to play together, or are they raised at home? who teaches hatchlings in your clan - to fly, read & write, use magic, and more?[/quote] [*] [b]Gather Items[/b] - hunter/rancher, fisher/angler, bugcatcher, farmer/forager, digger/scavenger, treasure hunter, coordinator of all of the above [quote=questions]does your clan feed primarily on one food group? where do your dragons obtain the bulk of their food? who tracks the food stores and organizes teams to hunt and gather? depending on your region, what are some of the most commonly gathered items - and the rarest?

updates: ?

this is very cool and very useful! finding jobs/purposes for my dragons is something I struggle with, so I'll definitely be coming back to this list :)

this is great, thank you for sharing!! <3

this is a great resource! thank you :D<3

while viewing this guide to help build my own roster, i added/reworded some questions and spaced everything out for better readability! ^__^

don't forget your doctors! In smaller living groups, there tends to be one or two doctors that handle:

-Childbirth/Child Health
-Sicknesses/Wounds
-General checking-up on clan's health

while bigger clans may have a whole guild of healers that specialize in different things!

@BalticDeerOwl ah, of course! thank you for reminding me ^__^ added some doctor titles & adjacent careers, i'll have to think up some lore questions for them too!

This is so useful! Thank you!

I love this, I'll definitely be pulling from these as prompts. Thank you :)!
