Unrecorded histories reflect insignificance, knowledge that is unnecessary. But is that really so true? Time can be cruel--it does not always care for the things that are truly important. Does the life of a dragon matter? It does to their friends. The secrets and happenings that lay unrevealed serve only to reflect the limits of a world's passing perspective. Dig deeper--you will learn more than you ever thought possible. I did. And I will share what I found.[/i][color=transparent]_______[/color][emoji=maple leaf size=1][emoji=bramble size=1][emoji=bare tree size=1][/columns] [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/fHQwQQm.png[/img][/center]

[indent][i]Extra Lives mean even if your dragon dies, they come back from the dead once per life. For example, if they die in the coliseum they do not get exalted but lose life instead.[/i][/indent] [*]If a dragon reaches level 10 it gains an extra life. The same goes for level 15. [*]If a dragon reaches 25 it "retires." This dragon is unable to die or be affected by challenges, locking in its job from being taken, however, it cannot battle in the coliseum or breed due to age. [*]Names are generated randomly without a naming scribe in your kingdom. [*]You cannot use genes, scenes, familiars, or apparel on any dragon without the appropriate jobs. If you pick up a gene, scene, familiar, or apparel item in the coliseum, a dragon on your team at the time can use it right away if they want. You may use skins/accents at any time but they cannot be removed unless exalted. You can change battle stones at any time, but only if the kingdom has acquired them (either through coli or a merchant). [*]You must flip a coin for each egg hatched. [indent]Heads = Healthy Tails = Exalted[/indent] Likewise, it's dangerous in your kingdom's early days. [indent]Every day you must roll 6 sided dice for every hatchling in your lair. On a 1 the hatchling does not make it and is exalted. [/indent] [*]When a dragon reaches level 5 it must roll for a job. (Job list is below.) More than one dragon can have the same job, and job rules do stack unless noted otherwise in that job's entry. At level 15, your dragon can roll for a new job if you want. [*]If a dragon changes jobs through a challenge they keep the lives they have gained from their past job. Example: Knights get 3 extra lives and keep them if they quit and became a librarian. [*]Except for the assassin, You don’t have to do dragon jobs daily if you don’t want to use them that day. Example: You can skip using the matchmaker if you don’t want to pair any dragons.[/LIST][nextcol][color=transparent]____[/columns] [quote][columns][emoji=silver crown size=1][nextcol][color=transparent]____[/color][nextcol][size=4][b]Winning[/b][/size] The challenge is won when you have [b]at least one dragon in all 20 jobs[/b] making a complete full kingdom [b]OR[/b] your [b]Royal levels up to 25.[/b][/columns][/quote] [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/WIy57Zy.png[/img][/center] [columns][color=transparent]__[nextcol][center][size=5][emoji=sun size=1] [b]Dailies[/b] [emoji=sun size=1][/center] [b]Daily 1[/b]: Check current dragons with jobs. Some of them have daily things you can do. Check nests and roll for any hatchlings in your kingdom. [b]Daily 2[/b]: Pull from Pinkerton and follow the draw of fate for whatever you get! [b]Optional Daily by @/Folktale (sorry for the ping!)[/b]: You can do multiple pulls in a day using Crim's collection cart in place of Pinkerton. You still only have to roll for hatchings once a day if doing this.[/color] [br] [quote=Drops of Fate] [b]Food: Coliseum time![/b] [indent][b]Plants:[/b] 10-20 matches [b]Insects:[/b] 20-30 matches [b]Seafood:[/b] 30-40 matches [b]Meat:[/b] 40-50 matches You must select coliseum challengers in your lair using a random number generator. Then, select the coliseum arena that corresponds to the lowest level dragon of that group. (If a scout is in your lair then any venue can be selected.) If your dragons level up while in an area, you can still stay there for the whole day. You can quit your battle streak at any time to regain health, and flee from battles if it is appropriate.[/indent] [b]Material / Trinket: Roll for a challenge[/b] (Edited from Fodderlocke for Kingdomlocke) Roll a 12-sided die. Your challenge is as follows: [quote=Material / Trinket rolls] [b]1. There’s a scandal (or romance) afoot.[/b] Pick two of your ready-to-breed dragons at random if you have any. Put them in a nest. The hatchlings, if they survive, join your kingdom. If nobody is ready to breed, grab a random hatchling off the AH. A secret forbidden child or sibling has been uncovered! [b]2. The Red String of Fate.[/b] Pick two dragons at random. They are now in a death bond and their fates are bound together. If one gets exalted, so does the other. [b]3. Hunting trip.[/b] Take any two of your dragons into a coli venue that is too low for them to gain experience. Go until you get one of the following items as decided by a 1d4 (option inspired by Alphazi) or three of another drop type than the one you are searching for: [indent]1) Hunting Trip (Look for a familiar) 2) Treasure Hunt (Look for a chest or other openable) 3) Stocking up on Supplies (Look for a battlestone) 4) Costume Shopping (Look for an apparel item)[/indent] [b]4. Freeloader.[/b] Some random dragon is hanging around the kingdom. Who is this guy???? Grab the cheapest adult level 1 dragon off the AH. They join your kingdom. [b]5. Quest time![/b] Pick two dragons at random. They have to go on a quest now. Raise both of them a level. Roll a 6-sided die for each. If it’s a 1, exalt them as they were lost in the mission. [b]6. Quest time! [/b]Pick two dragons at random. They have to go on a quest now. Raise both of them a level. Roll a 6-sided die for each. If it’s a 1, exalt them as they were lost in the mission. [b]7. Quest time![/b] Pick two dragons at random. They have to go on a quest now. Raise both of them a level. Roll a 6-sided die for each. If it’s a 1, exalt them as they were lost in the mission. [b]8. The Plague![/b] A great sickness comes over your entire clan. Roll a 1d12 for every dragon including your royal. On a 1 the dragon does not survive or loses a life. [b]9. Backstabbing.[/b] Choose a dragon at random who is not the Royal. Exalt them. Bye. [b]10. Train the Newbies.[/b] Take all your level 4 or lower dragons and level them up one level. If you don’t have any, skip this roll. [b]11. I quit.[/b] Choose a dragon at random. That dragon hates their job and quits. They now have to roll for a new one. The Royal is exempt from this. [b]12. A coup![/b] Roll 3 d20s. If you roll a 1 with any of them then your kingdom has dramatically betrayed your Royal a la the ides of march and you must exalt them. The dragons elect a new Royal. Randomize a dragon from your kingdom to become the new Royal.[/quote] [b]Familiars:[/b] Buy the cheapest level 1 dragon in the auction house of a specific breed. Use a random number generator (between 1 and 14*) to determine which breed you will get! 1. Fae 2. Guardian 3. Mirror 4. Pearlcatcher 5. Ridgeback 6. Tundra 7. Spiral 8. Imperial 9. Snapper 10. Wildclaw 11. Nocturne 12. Coatl 13. Skydancer 14. Bogsneak [i]* As this 'locke takes place in the past, Obelisks will not be used. Ancients will also not be used as they had already gone into hiding at that point.[/i] [b]Apparel:[/b] Romance! Breed two of your dragons. The dragons you pick are up to you. [b]Battle items:[/b] UhOh. Flip a coin and follow the result. [indent][b]Heads [/b]= Beast Clan Attack. The beast clans attack your kingdom in a full onslaught!!! Roll a 1d12 for every dragon including your royal. Any dragon who rolls a 1 is exalted or loses a life. [b]Tails[/b] = DEATH STREAK. Randomly select three dragons using a random number generator. Assassins are exempt. Fight in the coliseum at the highest dragons level using the "food" rules, 10 rounds consecutively (ie. you cannot leave that arena), quitting midway if a dragon dies.[/indent] [/quote][nextcol][color=transparent]____[/columns] [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/WIy57Zy.png[/img][/center] [columns][color=transparent]__[nextcol][center][emoji=money bag size=1][size=5] [b]Jobs[/b] [emoji=money bag size=1][/center] Roll a 1d20 when a dragon reaches level 5 to get them a career! Dragons can optionally reroll for a new career at level 15. [quote=Roles] [b]1. Assassin[/b] - [i]Can you trust them?[/i] The beastclans hired this dragon to try and kill a member of your clan. Use a number generator to generate who is the target. Roll a 1d4 daily to see the result. [indent]1. The target loses a life/dies. A new target is selected when no more lives remain. 2. The Assassin fails and is killed. 3. The Target gets away. 4. The Target convinces the Assassin not to go through with the hit and redeems them into your clan.[/indent] Assassins cannot enter the coliseum unless they have been redeemed into your clan. [b]2. Tailor [/b]- [i]Buttons and Thread![/i] You can give one dragon one piece of apparel a day. Apparel must be acquired in coli or, alternatively, can be purchased from the "marketplace" (any apparel in your hoard). If purchased from the marketplace, the tailor has to roll a 1d20 for travel. On a 1 the tailor dies on the journey. || [i]If you don’t have a tailor you cannot give the kingdom apparel.[/i] [b]3. Knight[/b] - [i]Huzzah![/i] These dragons are really strong and get three lives instead of one. If the Royal would lose a life in battle (beastclan ambush, coup, assassin, etc.), the Knight loses a life instead unless they are the perpetrator (such as being rolled to role change into Royal). [b]4. Alchemist[/b] - [i]For SCIENCE![/i] You can give one dragon one gene or breed change every day. If a dragon receives a gene/breed change they roll a d20. On a 1 the dragon dies in the experiment. If the dragons survive they gain an extra life. You cannot add more than 3 genes to a dragon. You can only change a dragon's breed and eye type once. || [i]Genes and breeds cannot be changed without an Alchemist.[/i] [b]5. Healer[/b] - [i]Death shall not take thee![/i] When a dragon dies on a coliseum team with the Healer you can flip a coin and see if you can heal them. If the doctor dies they cannot heal themselves. [indent]Heads = Live Tails = Die. [/indent] [b]6. Beastmaster[/b] - [i]I hope you’re not allergic to pets.[/i] You can give one dragon one familiar per day. Familiars are just for fun and don't add anything to the challenge. Familiars must be acquired in coli or, alternatively, can be purchased from the "marketplace" (any familiar in your hoard). If purchased from the marketplace, the beastmaster has to roll a 1d20 for travel. || [i]If you don’t have a familiar caretaker you cannot give the kingdom familiars.[/i] [b]7. Nest Caretaker[/b] - [i]This egg is cuter than that one![/i] Increase your hatchling's chances for survival! Instead of flipping a coin for each egg hatched, you roll a 1d4. On a 1 the hatchling is exalted. Instead of rolling a 1d6 daily for each hatchling who isn’t aged up, you roll a d12. On a 1 the hatchling is exalted. This role does not stack. [b]8. Name Scribe[/b] - [i]What an unfortunate name…[/i] Let's you choose the names of your dragons instead of generating them. You can also rename one dragon a day! [b]9. Matchmaker[/b] - [i]I think the two of you would be very suitable for one another...[/i] Matchmakers allow you to “match” dragons and create a permanent pair. Once a pair is permanent they can breed at any time, but cannot breed with any other dragons unless their spousal dragon dies. If either spousal dragon dies they have to flip a coin. on tails, they have a death bond and are both exalted regardless of any lives. Matchmakers can make one pair a day. [b]10. Scout[/b] - [i]What's that over there?![/i] Lets you choose what area in the coliseum you battle in. [b]11. Librarian[/b] - [i]A true bookwyrm.[/i] These well-read dragons are very keen when it comes to secret plots. If there is an assassin in the clan, change their daily roll to a d6. A roll of 5 is equivalent to a roll of 2, and a roll of 6 is equivalent to a roll of 4. This role does not stack. [b]12. Artist[/b] - [i]Paint everywhere![/i] You can give one dragon a scene every day. Scenes are just for fun and don’t add anything to the challenge. || [i]If you don’t have an artist, you cannot give any dragon a scene.[/i] [b]13. Gardener[/b] - [i]Nature holds the key.[/i] These dragons beautify the grounds around your kingdom and make it more appealing to passerby. If you pull an apparel item from Pinkerton but don’t have any RTB dragons, you can buy one adult dragon off the AH instead. [b]14. Carpenter[/b] - [i]Makes really nice cabinets. Is that mahogany?[/i] The artistry of these dragons brings legitimacy to the Ruler’s palace. Roll one less d20 when a coup occurs. This role does not stack. [b]15. Blacksmith[/b] - [i]Hot off the anvil![/i] Use one gathering turn to dig each day. For every piece of ore gained, roll a 1d10. On a roll of 10, the Blacksmith forges a piece of armor for a random dragon in the kingdom and they gain an extra life. You may add a corresponding armor apparel piece to that same dragon if you would like to do so. [b]16. Engineer[/b] - [i]A cog in the machine.[/i] The clever inventions of these dragons help streamline the tasks of others. Choose one dragon (other than an Assassin) whose role has a daily ability. That dragon may perform their role ability twice. [b]17. Sailor[/b] - [i]Have you ever seen a Merdragon?[/i] If a dragon’s role requires travel (such as the merchant and the tailor), any death rolls associated with their travel are skipped. [b]18. Architect[/b] - [i]Did you need that wall?[/i] The thoughtful designs crafted by these dragons make the palace more sturdy against outside attacks. Instead of rolling a d12 for each dragon during a Beastclan Attack, roll a d20. [b]19. Merchant[/b] - [i]A bargain![/i] A merchant may travel to “purchase” (read: transfer from your own hoard into the ownership of the kingdom) 1d4 items needed or wanted by the clan each day, such as apparel, familiars, battlestones that the clan has not yet found, etc. Such journeys are not without risk, however. Roll a d20 any time they embark to trade; if a 1 is rolled, they die along the way. [b]20. Royal[/b] - The leader. There can only be one. If another dragon rolls for the leader while there is one already, the two dragons then battle, and a 1d4 is rolled to see what happens. [indent]1. Both dragons die. 2. The leader dies and the new leader is crowned. 3. The challenging dragon dies and the old leader continues their reign. 4. Misunderstanding. They choose not to duel and the leader lets them reroll for a career.[/indent] The Royal is also responsible for populating your clan. They can nest at any time as soon as their cooldown is over. Furthermore, the Royal may choose to equip scenes, familiars, and apparel without the respective roles present in their kingdom. The royal is immune to death, but ONLY in the coli during food pulls or if otherwise specified. If your Royal is killed and there are no dragons to take their place, the challenge is over. Dragons who become Royal must quit their previous jobs. [/quote][nextcol][color=transparent]____[/columns] [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/vFgyRO9.png[/img]

Their voices were unique among the cacophany of the dead, lingering in her ears and filling her with purpose. Even now that she had been with the clan for months, she still had yet to encounter every spirit that called the vast territory their home. For centuries, the land had been soaked with pain and bloodshed. There were so many voices to soothe into slumber, each in need of closure that had been buried by the centuries. It was a mammoth task to provide each what they sought, and some had become so comfortable in their long stay that they would rather not leave to begin with. Each day brought new discoveries, new frustrations, and new goals. Though she was isolated among her kind, she did not lack for things to draw her attention. One voice in particular had long nagged at her thoughts. It was a mournful voice, one distorted by age and magic. Unlike many of the spirits in Thunder Hollow, which wandered aimlessly near the place their body lay, this one defied all attempts to locate it. It cried out, “help me, hear me,” and yet there were times Kora wondered if it even existed at all. It was the unique talent of the Mourning Flowers to see and find the souls of the dead, and yet this one always seemed far out of reach. She had been forced to acquaint herself with some of the Living in order to ask questions—was the magic distorted in any areas? Had some portions of the territory not been charted? The answers she received were mixed, flavored with various degrees of confusion. But there was one whose answer held promise. He told her of the Pathless Wood. It was a strange place, he said. Though the rest of the land had no magic at all, the Pathless Wood had managed to retain some—in a peculiar and twisted form. Those unfortunate enough to stray into the eerie copse of trees could not leave the way they came. Every attempt to navigate it, from leaving clawmarks on the trees to tying string just outside the forest, proved fruitless the moment one trespassed. Even he, said the dragon, could not stray far inside, and he had the heart of a woodsman. Something twisted and dark called the place its home; it was best to stay away. To Kora, this description was the one she needed to hear. A distorted haven, obscured by magic, could certainly be what befuddled her as she searched for that absent voice. The dragon who had helped her was hesitant to direct her to the Wood, but he eventually acquiesced and lead her there himself. Purposed, she followed his directions to the outer edge of an independent grove—The Pathless Wood. The world grew silent as she approached, even the spirits pausing their laments. No sounds of life could be heard from the Wood itself. The birds did not sing, nor did the wind brush through the leaves. Kora had been formed in the land of death itself, and yet even she was bothered by the eerie stillness. Something was deeply wrong about the place. And yet… “H-“ A spirit spoke. “Hello?” Its voice was distorted, as though the word had been spoken through a tube. Despite the strange echoes, there was no mistake where the spirit had been crying from. She was in the right place, after all. With a grateful nod to her guide, Kora steeled herself and stepped into the shadows. Another step, and the world behind her was gone. There was only one way to go—forward, into the depths and the darkness. Every step she took brought her closer. The spirit’s voice grew louder. “Can you hear me?” “Will you listen?” “Please help me.” “Please, remember me.” It was mournful but insistent, its voice thin from age and mangled by whatever foul magic made the Wood its home. How long had it been trapped? [i]’Too long,[/i] Kora mused to herself, [i]’Far too long.’[/i] The trees around her grew increasingly gnarled, their branches skeletal as they tangled over the path. Mushrooms flourished in the shadows, their bright caps tempting foolish dragons to doom. Every now and again, a patch of rich green moss bloomed in the faint beams of light, reminding Kora of the world beyond the forest. Somehow, in the few minutes she had been walking, she had begun to forget it. Not much, but a little. A glint of light caught her eye from the side of the path, drawing her attention away from the spirit’s steady voice. A shard of glass—no, a piece of a shattered mirror—had been stabbed into the leaf litter. Kora felt her heart flutter, a small piece of her mortal form recoiling against the wrongness of seeing something so out of place. She approached it, waiting for the light to shift and reveal a small piece of herself. Anything that would prove its mundaneness. The light shifted, and a red eye glared out at her. She jumped back, her heart pumping full-throttle in her chest. Her eyes were the pale white of a snowstorm, and yet the ones boring into her from the mirror were red—blood red. When she looked back, the image was gone, and the spirit’s voice broke through the rushing in her ears. “See me. Follow me.” Kora looked ahead, and more pieces of the mirror lined the path. Some were small—the size of a claw or smaller. Some were as large as her head. Flickering images danced in all of them—a feather here, an eye there. But never the complete picture. The shards led deeper and deeper, yet the forest seemed to grow lighter around her. Dazzling sunrays lanced off the mirrors, obscuring Kora’s vision as she pushed down the path. Was it a trick? The nature of a Mourning Flower was one all souls seemed to innately understand, but it was possible that the dark magic in the Wood had corrupted whatever remnant now called the twisted forest home. It was a nervous thought, but her duty was too great to abandon. She would take what came as it happened. The mirror pieces grew larger. The forest path grew brigher. And then, all of a sudden, she found herself standing in a clearing. A clearing with grass and light, with air and wind and…well, there was no birdsong. But it was clear that this small oasis was nothing like the forest which surrounded it on all sides; perhaps, she had not been fooled after all. Across the dell, surrounded by rubble and fallen stones, was a crumbling archway. An immense mirror hung within it, suspended by rusted chains. And reflected in its panels, distorted by the threadlike cracks that spanned its surface, was a figure that did not belong to Kora. Gleaming red eyes stared mournfully through the visor of a dark helmet. Ghostly fur wreathed the creature’s body, which was dressed in rags and tarnished silver jewelry. It hesitantly raised a paw—in greeting, in wistfulness, Kora wasn’t quite sure—and seemed to press against the mirror from the inside. Why wasn’t it free? ’Spirit,’ Kora addressed in the silent tongue of souls, ‘What has happened to you?’ The dragon in the mirror recoiled, a dark look crossing its shaded eyes. “Can you…?” it trailed, its voice muffled, “Can you hear me?” ‘Yes. I am of the Mourning Flowers, and I am here to put your soul at ease.’ The spirit’s shoulders seemed to sag, its wings falling in a gesture of relief and defeat. “You can’t,” it mourned, “I…cannot escape this prison. It is my curse- to remain here for all of eternity, watching these woods fall deeper and deeper into ruin. No effort could free me. None.” Kora paused to consider what she had been told, sitting down in the grass across from the mirror. She had never dealt with curses, nor even heard of a spirit who had been bound by one. She was ill-equipped, but already in too deep to turn back. Taking a breath, she asked a simple question, ‘Why?’ The spirit cocked its head, “Why…? Why was I cursed?” Kora nodded. ‘Knowing the reason may be just what I need to set you free.’ The spirit laughed a dry, hollow laugh. “If only that were true. But I have spent the centuries longing for someone to talk to. If you are truly willing to know, I will tell you.” Locking eyes with the spirit, Kora inclined her head. The ghost of a smile peeked from behind the spirit’s mask, and then it began to speak.[nextcol][color=transparent]____[/columns] [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/WIy57Zy.png[/img][/center] [quote][emoji=comment size=1] [font=times new roman]So it begins! Tomorrow, I will be introducing the other two starter dragons and potentially making my first pull :0 I will not be writing this much lore every day, but I wanted to start the challenge off with some good lore to establish the stakes! This 'locke takes place in the past--thousands of years before my clan was founded. It will explain one of my lore characters, the spirit seen in this post, and establish some background for the ruins scattered around the territory. I...don't honestly know how I'll handle [i]winning[/i] this challenge, since the Kingdom cannot endure to present day...I'll guess figure it out somehow! If RNG favors me enough to even win, that is ;D[/quote] [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/vFgyRO9.png[/img][/center]
