Few know about it, and even fewer have seen it. What historic texts describe it refer to it as [i]Everglade Island[/i], a place of bounty and respite. Sailors tell tales of finding its shores should their ships ever wreck at sea, being guided there by some otherworldly force of the currents. The reality of Everglade is different, but not all tales are wrong. Shrouded in fog, found only by those who truly require its aid, it waits in the sea for the outcasts of life and collects them to its shores—for merely a moment or forever, depending on its whims. The dragons who stay have, over centuries, formed a clan like no other, with rich tradition and history to guide the footsteps of every new addition. This is a story that begins in the long past, with the arrival of a dragon who would go on to found a legacy...[/quote] [center][emoji=bamboo chute size=1][/center] Woo, new lore challenge is a GO! Well, I [i]say[/i] that, but this is going to be a lot more relaxed than some of my others. Just a little scrap of lore description here and there to keep things vibrant and interesting for myself and whoever stops by to read :D As it says at the top, this is a Breed Out the Ugly Challenge! However, I'm using the Randomized ruleset from [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/qnc/2912793/1]@/Kywren[/url] for a bit of extra challenge :D I was also inspired by [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/qnc/2977259/1]@/MelanIllustrates[/url], whose challenge I stumbled across first! [LIST] [*]I will start with a bank of 20kt. [*]The first dragon must be from my least favorite breed onsite, and be all basic genes. It needs to be ugly; truly a dragon that should have been immediately exalted. It needs to be under 10kt. [*]Then I need to find it a mate! It needs to be RTB, and under 10kt. I'll roll a [s]d20[/s] d[# of pages within price limit] to determine the page to pick the mate from and then roll a d10 to chose the mate from that page. There's [i]no[/i] requirement for triple genes. [*]Next, I'll breed them! I'll determine the heir in one of three ways, also determined by a roll. On a roll of 1, I'll let RNG choose the heir. On a roll of 2, I get to choose the heir. On a roll of 3, I toss 'em into the Coli LoW style and see who walks away the victor. [*]While waiting for the heir to be ready to breed, I'll train and exalt or sell the others in order to fill back up my bank and pay for the next dragon. [*]My next dragon, and every dragon following that I get as a mate, must only be bought with money in the bank. I must still roll a d20 (or lower) to determine the page, but I will get to pick from there. [*]No scrying workshop until after the mate is purchased! [*]The challenge is done when a pair produces a dragon I want to have in my lair as a permanent member. [/LIST][nextcol][color=transparent]______[/columns]

The clan is composed of various [i]legacies[/i], or families, which typically descend from newcomers to the island who choose to stay and dedicate themselves to the clan. These legacies interact with one another in a large, codependent clan, with each member contributing skills of hunting, craftsmanship, or knowledge to one another readily. They are presided over by a loose priest-leader who is responsible for enforcing the clan's sparse rules and training a small group of historians and spiritualists who will maintain tradition in the next generation. It is from this group that the next leader is chosen when the old passes or relinquishes their position.[/quote] [quote name=Legacies...][columns]When a dragon washes up on Everglade's shores, they have two choices: to stay for a time and depart once they recover from their stranding, or to undergo a ritual and dedicate themselves to becoming part of the clan. Those who opt for the ritual usually seal their intentions with the foundation of their own personal legacy. If they have become close to one of the unmated islanders, they may select that dragon as their founding partner; otherwise, non-heirs from other legacies will often approach the dragon with proposals until one is eventually selected. The pair will then have a nest to cement their connection and establish their legacy. From each nest in a legacy, one hatchling is selected through specific rites to become the legacy's heir. This hatchling receives special training and is eventually sent away from the island to seek out a mate of their very own, whom they must then bring back to the island. In order to locate Everglade again once they have left it, these heirs must be in-tune with its unique magic; if an heir is not properly trained, a legacy may be abruptly ended by their failure to return with a partner. Those who succeed in their quest will lay a nest with their found mate and begin the cycle anew, selecting an heir to continue the legacy in much the same way. Non-heirs are still valued members of the clan, providing the everyday labor and skill which heirs may be unable to pursue. They may freely pick non-heir mates from other lineages and have their own families if they so choose, though non-heirs rarely start true legacies of their own.[nextcol][color=transparent]__[nextcol][emoji=old parchment size=1][/columns][/quote] [quote name=Religion...][columns][emoji=old parchment size=1][nextcol][color=transparent]__[nextcol]Everglade's islanders pursue a unique religion which is tied to the island's strange and magical nature. Rather than paying homage to the elemental gods, the islanders revere the island and its spirits as their deities. They admire nature and follow various religious doctrines which govern how they hunt and interact with the island's natural resources. Stranded dragons who decide not to found a legacy of their own are usually inducted into the clan's priesthood, which undertakes much deeper rituals than the common clanmember. They alone, along with their apprentices and the heirs are allowed to access the peak of the island's central mountain. This site is the most sacred place on Everglade Island and is considered by many to contain the spirit of the island itself, which watches passively over the islanders from its lofty perch.[/quote] [center][emoji=bamboo chute size=1] [font=mistral][size=7][b]Locations[/b][/size][/font][/center] [columns][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/static/layout/lair_icons/54.png[/img][nextcol][color=transparent]__[nextcol][font=mistral][size=5][b]Tradewinds Town[/b][/size][/font] Constructed largely out of the fast-growing bamboo native to Everglade Island, Tradewinds Town is where most of the islanders make their home.

[center][item=bamboo breeze cape] [font=mistral][size=7][b]Day One[/b][/size][/font] [size=2][i]in which we select our founder[/i][/size] [emoji=bamboo chute size=1][/center] [columns][color=transparent]______[nextcol]Well, if I'm honest, there's no breed of dragon that I particularly [i]loathe[/i]. I have dragons I love of every single species and pose, after all! But, I can pick a least favorite if I try... My off-the-cuff answer is Banescales, since I'm not a fan of many of their genes OR their general appearance, but an ancient challenge would be extraordinarily boring AND my final dragon would have to be a Banescale, which would be super counterproductive! So, it's on to our modern breeds next. Though it's a bit cliche, I'm afraid I have to go with [b]Snappers[/b] simply because it takes some doing to make a really pretty one! Now, let's hop over to the Auction House to see what sort of triple basic atrocity we can uncover... Well, there aren't any RTB ones! I mean, there [i]is[/i] one, but he's 30,000 [i]gems[/i] so that's not happening anytime soon XD I decided to remove the triple-basic perameter and just buy some gene removal scrolls since I'm not hurting for cash. Fortunately, a delightfully ugly lady appeared within the first page of my search: [b]Dawnwinter[/b]. She had the luck of being basic in everything but tertiary as well, saving me some much-appreciated money! [center][url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/15677932][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/dgen/dressing-room/dragon?did=15677932&skin=28488&apparel=37390,37672,28367,27992,2561,37885,6029&xt=dressing.png[/img][/url] [font=mistral][size=5][b]Dawnwinter[/b][/size][/font] [i]first of her line[/i] Wind Snapper | Thistle Basic / Orange Basic / Leaf Basic[/center] [quote name="Ill Winds..."][columns][emoji=old parchment size=1][nextcol][color=transparent]__[nextcol]Dawnwinter had never trusted the sea, but, lacking the power to enjoy the currents of the air, she agreed to take a sturdy trade barge for the purposes of pursuing her dreams. Though Wind dragons are rarely a serious lot, young Dawnwinter wanted nothing more than to make a name for herself as a naturalist of Sornieth's farthest, most isolated corners. Her first destination was the Shifting Expanse, which was known for being deathly hazardous for all but the most determined of researchers. On the way, a wicked maelstrom whipped up and hurled her ship into an outcropping of reef. Battered by the winds and rains, it was unable to right itself after the blow and began to sink, tossing its passengers to the mercy of the sea. Unable to paddle but buoyant by virtue of her breed, Dawnwinter kept her head above water and began to pray... She came to awareness on a bright, sandy beach. Debris from the wrecked ship surrounded her, but none of the other passengers were anywhere in sight. And yet she could feel eyes on her, watching from [i]somewhere.[/i] Blinking, she forced sore body to stand and began to look around. Dragons were gathered by the beach, peering out of the distant woods and nearby huts alike. There were dozens of them, of all flights and kinds. They stared at her intently, waiting for her to move, to speak, to do anything. For once in life, she couldn't quite find her tongue.[/quote][nextcol][color=transparent]______[/columns]

I'm off to the AH to see what RNG decides. My d20 decided [b]page eleven[/b] was the place to go. However, there were mostly ancients there, so I opted to roll again. The dice told me to move a single page over to [b]twelve[/b], which was in much better shape for what we want to do. Then, I took a d10 and discovered that [b]number six[/b] was her delightful match. Or, as I found out, not so delightful...

[quote name="Bright Skies Behind the Clouds..."][columns][emoji=old parchment size=1][nextcol][color=transparent]__[nextcol]The process of introductions was one Dawnwinter got to endure at a much slower pace than she anticipated, since she promptly collapsed and was dragged off to a doctor's hut, one which could only fit a few dragons at a time. Still, introductions [i]did[/i] happen, first with the herbalists who cared for her and later with other members of the island's unusual tribe. One of the first to make her acquaintance was one of the apprentice doctors, a dragon named Thicknose—though most referred to him as "Nosey" instead, not as a judge of character but rather as a kind abbreviation. He, a nervous but intelligent dragon, was charged to remain in the room with her at all times, to care for smaller changes in condition. As it usually happens when you put two intellectual dragons in a room, a rapport between herself and Thicknose was quick to develop. They had nothing but time in which to discuss and debate about their chosen scientific fields, especially given that Dawnwinter's injuries—among which a broken hind leg was not the least—seemed very unlikely to let her go anywhere at a fast pace.[/quote] Out of curiosity, I dropped them into the scrying workshop to get a look at what sort of hatchlings might come from their partnership. Well, they weren't [i]terrible[/i]...

Still, we need a bit more lore to establish this thing... [quote name="A Decision of Grave Importance..."][columns][emoji=old parchment size=1][nextcol][color=transparent]__[nextcol]Dawnwinter's ears were full of unsubtle whispers when she finally ventured from the healer's hut. Under the careful claws of Thicknose and his senior physicians, she had regained a great deal of health and had every intention of exploring the island. After all, who knew what sort of creatures would call this place home? It would be the opportunity of a lifetime! But the islanders seemed to expect something more from her, and she would be lying if she claimed she had no clue what it was. Thicknose had kindly explained the basic structure of linages to her, as well as where a so-called "Lost One" like herself fit into those lineages, but she wasn't entirely sure how to feel about such a concept. The idea of staying on the island on a more...permanent basis was alluring, but did she wish to take on the culture and traditions of the place alongside a long-term residence? She wasn't sure. Thicknose played tour guide as she mulled over her options. To stay without founding a lineage wasn't forbidden, but, as Thicknose explained, such dragons usually found themselves in the priesthood instead. What she lacked in motherly instinct was a wealth in comparison to her piety, so she didn't favor that route in the least. There was a chance she could stubbornly avoid both, but Thicknose warned that such dragons were often treated coldly for their unwillingness to accept a place in the clan's tradition. And the only other alternative was to leave, abandoning a lifetime of scientific discovery alongside the island. Not to mention Thicknose, who had no desire at all to leave the home he'd always known. Despite herself, she'd come to like the fidgety mirror, and the concept of losing him, too, was not as small a factor in the decision as she'd pictured it to be. In the end, she chose the path of least resistance. As she and Thicknose tromped back towards her temporary residence on the beach, she asked, "So, how [i]does[/i] one found a legacy?" [center]*[/center] The next few days were a whirlwind, filled with celebrations, feasts, and rituals of all kinds. Though she could have opted into far fewer of these events, there was something nice about socializing and learning the ways of the island, especially after being cooped up in a not-so-large hut on the beach for well over a month. It was a bit like making scientific discoveries again, and for that she was glad. As soon as it seemed like a lull was on the horizon, proposals began to find their way to her camp in Tradewinds Town. Young dragons from various other lineages, who hadn't been selected to carry on their line for another generation, offered to partner with her as she looked into establishing her own. She turned them all down with increasing annoyance, because she already had a dragon in mind. Said dragon, flustered by her initial admission of interest, had made himself quite scarce, but, as Dawnwinter began work on a permanent hut, he finally reappeared to answer her question. Thicknose had never pictured himself as part of a lineage when he had failed to be selected as heir, much less with a dragon whom he admired a great deal. Though quite bashful with the thought, he agreed to be her mate, and they set off for the Roost the next day.[/quote] I just realized that these two should most definitely be on a [i]Wind[/i] nest rather than a Lightning one, but shh we don't talk about that. Maybe Dawnwinter thought it would be a nice way to pay homage to the land she was traveling to when she became stranded. Either way, the pair are sitting on a healthy three-egg nest!

He hopes to someday be the one to bless his sister's descendants as they continue on his family's legacy.[/quote] [center][url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/68769573][img]https://i.imgur.com/EExSmAb.png[/img][/url] [font=mistral][size=5][b]Lea[/b][/size][/font] [i]thirdborn[/i] Lightning Mirror | Mist Basic / Carmine Basic / Radioactive Basic[/center] [quote name="Lea..."][columns][emoji=old parchment size=1][nextcol][color=transparent]__[nextcol]Though Lea's siblings quickly found fulfillment in their roles, it took Lea longer to adjust to life on the Island. She had hoped to become the heir on account of her sheer size and strength, but Rift was instead handpicked by their mother for the job. As of now, Lea drifts around the clan somewhat placelessly, though she does a good job hunting and frequently challenges herself with the monsters of the Deepwoods.[/quote] I sent Xenith and Lea off to the coli to gain some levels and then punted them to Stormdad, which helped fill out our bank quite nicely! I decided to only count the sibling payout and not let it stack per generation, so things will stay spicy >:D If I get wegged I'll use a default bank of 10kt, or maybe even fodder price! Now I'm off to find a mate for Rift! [center][font=mistral][size=5][b][emoji=treasure chest size=1] 22,183[/center][nextcol][color=transparent]______[/columns]

He's quite stunning as well, though I think brown and purple probably won't mix all that well...

Now, let's have a little sneak peek at their future [s]disasters[/s] children :>[nextcol][color=transparent]______[/columns] [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/ReoJm6b.png[/img][/center] [columns][color=transparent]______[nextcol]Not the worst, but some of the predictions were absolutely [i]awful[/i] so who knows! At this point, I mostly just want to get some nice genes on these babies (especially underbelly--I wouldn't mind if that one stayed 'til the end) :D 11 days until these two can have a nest! I can't wait haha[nextcol][color=transparent]______[/columns]
