So, now understanding breeding mechanics much better, and knowing that I enjoy writing lore, I'm running another Legacy of War.

This mate must be worth 10kt times the current generation number or less off the Auction House. So for Gen 2 your price ceiling will be 20kt, for Gen 3 it will be 30kt, and so on. 6.

Some general rules for these scenarios are as follows: --- 1. You must keep a battle streak going, even if your dragons level up between fights. This is to prevent you from inputting points into areas that would allow one contender to be more likely to succeed over another. 2.

Send all three of the contenders into the Training Fields. Begin your battle streak. 2. When one of the contenders faints, keep going. They may look alive, but they have been officially disqualified. 3. When another contender faints, you may stop! The survivor will carry on the legacy. 4 Eggs 1. Send the first two contenders by birth order (hatchlings 1 and 2) into the Training Fields (with a coach, if using). Begin your battle streak.

Perform the battles in each group as follows: For the trio group, take the three contenders to the Training Fields and begin a battle streak.

Tallow Candle Introduction & Rules
A Legacy of War challenge
_____

Welcome to Emperor's Funeral, a somewhat-lore-driven Legacy of War challenge with some additional constraints. This is the second LoW I'm running - I started a first a few years ago, when I didn't really understand the probability-related breeding mechanics. I did finally finish that LoW, after several hiatuses. I also found that the part I enjoyed most was gradually accruing some lore around the later gens. (In particular Warren and Hewnhide.) So, now understanding breeding mechanics much better, and knowing that I enjoy writing lore, I'm running another Legacy of War.

If you're not familiar, here are the base rules, directly quoted from Dreamnorn's post:

6. Continue until the tenth generation's nest has hatched. The final survivor will be the winning dragon!

Emperor's Funeral



In the center of the Lightweaver's domain, north of the Hewn City, and south of the Mirrorlight Promenade, is the Emperor's Wake.

The clans of the Sunbeam Ruins know well to avoid Luminax. The Emperor is too powerful to fight and too quick to escape should you catch his notice. Armies have alredy fallen to him; surely no clan is arrogant enough to think it can do what legions have not?

Except throughout Sornieth, some dragons wonder.

Why hasn't the Lightweaver struck down Luminax? Surely she could. She is greater and stronger than Luminax, and it was her magic that made Imperials, once; her magic could unmake them, too. The Lightweaver must be allowing Luminax to live. Nothing else makes sense.

Why, then? Luminax has killed scores of dragons, most of them loyal to the Light. This must be a punishment. Or a test.

Clan Lambent is a young clan, located now near the Beacon of the Radiant Eye. Its founders Alcaeus and Charaxa are seeking some piece of ancient magic, and only the most trusted of the clan know what it is they seek.

Clan Lambent is a large clan, with many small sub-clans with their own allegiances and priorities. There is a small group of dragons from the Icefields, and a sub-clan of Snappers who wander Sornieth and treat Clan Lambent as a resting-place.

In recent days new dragons have come to Clan Lambent, willing to serve the clan while pursuing their own aims.

They want to kill Luminax.

This is madness, and every other dragon in Clan Lambent knows it. But Alcaeus has granted them membership in the clan, as well as land to call their own.

The Funereal Cult, as they're called by others, wants to end the Emperor's Wake, whatever the cost.

I'll be thrilled if Aruna wins out - the primary gene upgrade and the breed upgrade would be fantastic. But Thesan has striation, which is a favorite gene of mine... Atanua is a wash, no breed upgrade and basic/basic/belly.

So, to the coliseum:

Thesan fell first, and then Aruna, making Atanua the victor -- FIGURES :( Ah, well. Thesan and Aruna are off to the Lightweaver, and Atanua's hatchlings had better be made of better stuff!

Lured back to the site by NoN again, it's time for gen 4. Atanua survived gen 3, and I do not remember exactly how much I paid for this handsome fella a year ago:
