They are a particular type of dryad, which are a particular type of nymph. Hamadryads are born bonded to a certain tree. Some believe that hamadryads are the actual tree, while normal dryads are simply the entities, or spirits, of the trees. If the tree died, the hamadryad associated with it died as well. [img]https://i.postimg.cc/WbqzV9NK/Divider-Branch4.png[/img] The Hamadryads were said to have died out long ago, as the trees they were bonded to died in one way or another so did they...but little did anyone know that the Greek goddess Persephone, wife to Hades, had been secretly hiding their souls in a mimic of Pandora's box. Keeping them safe. However she grew afraid of being caught by her husband and so she entrusted the box of souls to a mortal but extremely magically gifted dragon and told that dragon to bury the box alongside him when he died, never tell anyone about it, and NEVER EVER open it. He did as he was told. Years and years later, even as his own lineage forgot about him, there was born another dragon of his bloodline with magic just as strong as his. Little to her knowledge this dragon was drawn to the box by Persephone herself who thought now would finally be a safe time to have the box opened and the Hamadryads restored to life.

Their networks cover most, if not all of the world they inhabit, and their influence has been growing steadily as of late. FL/GHT seeks to free those who have been oppressed and held captive by Project, to make a world where all artificial beings like themselves will have equal rights and liberty to live their lives in peace. It consists of 5 factions, with each faction having Faction Heads, and dragons who wish to serve the cause will be sorted into the factions their talents best suit. Notable Enemies: Once a humble robotics company, Project's first big breakthrough was the creation of a fully-functioning, multipurpose android that could take on numerous tedious tasks. Now they're a company that specializes in the creation of androids for various purposes, ranging from household automatons to combat-ready units. Project currently dominates the technological industry with their superior tech and advancements, particularly with their magitech. However, they are known for their ruthless scrapping of androids the moment defects are found, simply because they do not believe in the sentience of androids, though they draw the line at harming actual dragons. Project's sinister inner ring, however, takes things to the next level - actively running experiments on live organic dragons, mainly to push the limits of cybernetics and their capabilities. This inner ring tends to eliminate all who stand in their way and consists of several key figures in positions of authority in Project - including the head scientist Jayce and the ambitious Selena, who has been rapidly rising through the ranks for her contributions to the breakthrough in magitech. Unity: Unity is an activist group that recently formed under the banner of Salvador, a former employee of one of Project's subsidiary companies. This company was abandoned and had its funding largely cut off after failing to meet profitable margins, though they tried to save it by continuing to create and test their own androids despite Salvador's protests. However, due to poor manufacturing, these androids later went rogue during a routine test-run, killing several innocent civilians. This sparked great controversy in the media, and opened Salvador's eyes to the truth - that androids were far more uncontrollable than one might think, and underestimating them could have deadly results. Headed by Salvador and run largely by his second-in-command Sergius, Unity seeks to prevent the technological singularity - the hypothetical future where science has become so advanced that it becomes uncontrollable. To them, androids are uncontrollable, dangerous, and can easily replace organic dragons if allowed to do so. To this end, they conduct raids on labs/shops of android manufacturers while planting bugs within, or hold radio broadcasts advocating against androids - though their raids lean more towards the disruptive/destructive than FL/GHT's, which focus on the extraction of necessary resources.

These dragons from a young age are taught both how to dance in a way no dragon has seen before, while also being taught how to kill a dragon in a crowded theatre and have little to no one realize. While many perform for the sake of the art, Blood Moon Dancers are at times sent out on missions from the Head of the House to take out someone for one of their clients. Primarily, these jobs are meant for females. The males have roles that are more akin to servants, though some breeds are given the chance to prove themselves worthy of becoming a dancer by performing for the Head. If she is impressed, they may remain. If not... they are either killed for wasting her time, or demoted back to their previous rank. However, all males are the eyes and ears for their Head, so their purpose is not completely lost, and some may even be favored by them. These dancers are given the opportunity to travel to any and all clans that they wish - living amongst other dragons or even sharing a mate that doesn't quite meet the necessary requirements, but when the Head of their house calls for them, they are expected to answer and complete their mission by any means necessary.

As such, their teeth are sharper than their counterparts and their movements swift in order to track prey. Typically, these Tundras are in packs, but occasionally one may see a lone Canis Lupus Tundra, although not for long, as they prefer packs to wander with others of their kind. Colors range from greys, blacks, reds, browns, and even golds, and the colors typically match the environment that they live in. Their living range includes the Southern Icefield, the Tangled Woods, the Viridian Labyrinth, the Sunbeam Ruins, the Windswept Plateau, and the Shifting Expanse, but on occasion, a pack may wander into other dragon lands if the prey runs well. Still, they typically avoid other dragons and like to keep to themselves. It causes them to be a very mysterious and misunderstood breed of dragon. However, it allows them to keep their culture and practices untainted by mainstream dragons. One such practice is howling to and with each other. It is a language meant for their understanding and knowledge only, so it is only shared to other dragons if they accepted as a member of their pack. Each pack has their own unique song that tells of their history and culture as well. On nights when the moon is full, nearby packs gather to peacefully mingle, sharing stories and songs as well as compete in matters of strength, speed, cunning, and teamwork. They believe the full moon is sacred and would never dare lift a claw against one of their own kind at such times. However, when the moon is not full, packs can fight each other to compete for land and prey, putting their own pack first. There is a structure within their packs, with an alpha female and alpha male on top, who are mates for life (or as long as the other is living). Sometimes, a lower Tundra may challenge an alpha for dominance, but the loser (whether the alpha or other Tundra) can be exiled from the pack, which is the usual cause for lone Canis Lupus Tundras.

[b]H[/b]owever, some particularly nomadic Gladebeasts have ventured further and further from their native lands as their population grew. New variants have arisen, including Beasts for each of the other flights, dragons of mixed ancestry that have no ties to any specific region, and even hybrids with other breeds.

This story are often told as a cautionary tale to young hatchlings to dissuade them from roaming around without supervision, but it is a little known fact that the content of the story is true. Mostly true. Not all of the community was destroyed, and the survivors chose to vanish without a trace rather than return to their homeland, for fear that the Shade would return. Over the centuries, their numbers grew, and their hatred for the Shade and all its creatures only grew more intense. The Grand Questing Society was forged in the burning hatred of these dragons, and tempered by their coldest, most calculated minds. Its ultimate mission is to purge Sornieth of the Shade forever. The Society recognizes that this task is a huge one, and thus every dragon that is part of it has a role in what is called ‘The Quest’: the hunting down and eradication of any and all Shadetouched things that they have the power to defeat.

Thought to be evil because of their appearance and genetic makeup, they are simply dragons that are misfits, or runaways. There are several sub-types of Hallows: Creatures, Vampires, Werewolves, Jack-O-Lanterns, Poltergeist, Wraith, Revenant, Fetch, and Cu Sith, each with their own unique make and type. Each type has their own genetic and colour pattern and their feeding and breeding habits vary as well.

Their search led them to The Scarred Wasteland and at the hands of Plaguebringer who tricked them into a deal for power against Shade. In exchange for power they had to give up their sanity. Plaguebringer's original intention was to make loyal soldiers who could form their own order as a way to protect herself as well as watch over the dragons who live in her domain. Ichor are the ones whose minds couldn't handle the numbing effects of Wyrmwound sludge and the infections brought upon their bodies, cursing them to become a whole other monster. Invulnerable, bloodstained coats and numerous, indestructible horns are signs of their torment and the loss of their mind. Ichor are also unnaturally strong and capable of infecting others with a neurodegenerative disease which acts as a symbol of their deal. Deemed a failure to her experiment, Plaguebringer had their successors chase them away from the Wyrmwound and into hiding in fear for their lives. They are often depicted in murals as [b]"The Lost Ones"[/b].

Members worship a strange deity they refer to as the Tooth God, offering fragments of bone, fangs, and oddly shaped roots to this entity in exchange for its blessings. Though the majority of the Tooth Cult dragons reside within the Wandering Contagion, others have spread beyond the borders of the Scarred Wasteland to spread the word of the Tooth God. Members of the Tooth Cult are, of course, recognized by the rows of razor-sharp teeth that grow from their skin. Some outsiders say that these so called "teeth" are actually malformed scales - the result of years spent in the festering Wasteland, but the Tooth dragons deny this vehemently. These teeth are, after all, blessings from the Tooth God.[/size][/font]
