Large, icy flakes fall gently, and your feet crunch through the powdery snow as they turn away from the vastness of the sea, making their way towards a massive stone cave that sits nestled several hundred feet on an outcrop above the unforgiving waters. You involuntarily shiver as your breath solidifies into a cloud of vapor, almost like an ice dragon's flame. Boldly entering the cave, you slowly settle yourself down on one of the many finely-skinned elk pelts that are laid out carefully over the stone ground. Your eyes take a few moments to scan the cave's interior. It's massive; the ceiling is akin to a vaulted one; dozens of shards of beautifully coloured glass are strung up on sinew strings, their vibrant hues reflecting around the walls in a wonderful, slow dance. Concaves are carved into the rough stone wall to your left, and you notice that each dip holds a carefully tucked roll of parchment. You couldn't even begin to imagine what wonderful stories those papers held. The ground is plain, undecorated stone, worn relatively smooth by hundreds of dragon paws traipsing over it. Elk and seal pelts are neatly scattred about, as well as mounds of powdered snow, most likely tracked in by the local inhabitants. As your eyes fall to the back of the cave, you notice that there are distinct tunnels- all lit with small campfires resting at their entrances. Scaling the opposite wall is an intricate, lifelike representation of the Icewarden. The Tundra, Nocturne, Ridgeback & Bogsneak dragons that reside here are a peaceful lot, and spend their days etching stories into stone, and scratching tales onto paper. They are storytellers, crafters, creators, and visionaries. The cave acts like a monastery, serving as a refuge for those who seek guidance, solace, peace, or a sense of worth. Members spend their days continuing to further the monastery's records, honing their chosen craft, foraging, or sending out search parties to search for lost wanderers. All of the members also hold a deep and profound respect for their elemental guardian, and regularly pray to him in their own, distinct manners. This is a place of comfort, for those who hold a passion for guidance, for those blown wayward by the blinding snow, and for those who still hold their own internal battles."[/i][/size][/quote] [/center] [size=2][b]T[/b]his is my Draw-Your-Lair Challenge thread!
