Onto the next breed! | Flight Rising Discussion

Maybe I'm jumping the gun (I am), but now I can't help but wonder what the next breed will be! Here's a list of each flight's dragon amount: Earth - 2 modern[emoji=phoenix feather size=1] Water - 1 modern, 1 ancient[emoji=phoenix feather size=1] Fire - 1 modern, 1 ancient[emoji=phoenix feather size=1] Wind - 2 modern[emoji=phoenix feather size=1] Ice - 1 modern, 1 ancient[emoji=phoenix feather size=1] Lightning - 1 modern[emoji=peacock feather size=1] Shadow - 1 modern, 1 ancient[emoji=phoenix feather size=1] Light - 2 modern[emoji=phoenix feather size=1] Plague - 1 modern, 1 ancient[emoji=phoenix feather size=1] Nature - 1 modern[emoji=peacock feather size=1] Arcane - 1 modern, 1 ancient[emoji=phoenix feather size=1] The red feathers indicate which flights have 2 breeds, and the green feathers are which flights have 1 breed. As you can see, only 2 breeds have 1 dragon: Nature's Wildclaws, and Lightning's Ridgebacks. The question is, which flight is next? Personally, I'd be shocked if it was Lightning (sorry guys![emoji=mirror winking size=1]). Why? As someone who reads the Encyclopedia for fun, it's kinda obvious. To paraphrase, the description of the Wildclaw tells that, while they originate from the Shrieking Wilds of Nature flight, an equally large group of Wildclaws exists along the Wandering Contagion of Plague Flight. These two groups also don't get along too well. Compare Nature with Plague. Plague flight gets both a modern and ancient breed (Mirror and Aberration) all to themselves, as well as leeching (hah) onto Nature's [i]only[/i] breed. tl:dr, Wildclaws are passed between divorced parents and Glademom deserves better, Stormcatcher is gonna have to wait.

Maybe I'm jumping the gun (I am), but now I can't help but wonder what the next breed will be! Here's a list of each flight's dragon amount:

Earth - 2 modern

Water - 1 modern, 1 ancient

Fire - 1 modern, 1 ancient

Wind - 2 modern

Ice - 1 modern, 1 ancient

Lightning - 1 modern

Shadow - 1 modern, 1 ancient

Light - 2 modern

Plague - 1 modern, 1 ancient

Nature - 1 modern

Arcane - 1 modern, 1 ancient

The red feathers indicate which flights have 2 breeds, and the green feathers are which flights have 1 breed. As you can see, only 2 breeds have 1 dragon: Nature's Wildclaws, and Lightning's Ridgebacks.

I do think Nature is next. It'd make sense for both remaining Flights lorewise - the Nature ancients rise up again after seeing that the puny Plague ancients have started running around, to put them back in their place and fan the flames of the up-coming war between flights. Tensions raise in the lore with the re-emergence of this battle ready breed. And as tensions reach their height, Lightning finally finishes its reactor - The Source - and turns it on in the midst of political chaos. Their ancient rises from this event (maybe something reanimated would be very cool) and with Lightning in power, war finally breaks between all the tensed up Flights.
... Or something like that?

@Recallback ooh I love this idea! I forgot to say in my post, but I could also see the Nature dragon being either modern or ancient (Obelisks being exhibit A). I love the short lore you came up with, I could so see something like that happening with Nature!

I really want an Earth ancient just because I'm a Pebble.

Realistically, I'm going to guess that Lightning will be getting an ancient next; perhaps it can have a Thor/dragon hybrid theme.

Let's not discount the non-elemental breed chances! There's canonically a modern breed not tied to any element (Bogsneaks), and that's it. No other breeds like them. The potential for chaos in any conflict with an ancient not tied to any of the deities dropping in to say hi is astronomical (and perfect if staff want to delay the other elements for any reason, like a desire to build more on their lore or a site feature they want to tie into it).

Discounting that, I would love to see more of what the Gladekeeper made back in the day, seeing as she laughed at the sight of her sister's Aberrations in their lore story. Like okay sis, what did you make then? What would stand against the Aberrations?
