[center][b][u]Seed and Sickness - Intro[/u][/b][/center]
This subspecies is inspired by the official Flight Rising story [url=https://flightrising.com/main.php?p=wiki&article=99]here[/url].
~~~~~~~~~~~
From time to time, Nature dragons trickle into the Scarred Wasteland, offering a figurative (and sometimes literal) olive branch.
Some seek to apologize and atone to whomever within the Plague flight would accept it. If a single individual from one flight could rupture a treaty, perhaps a single mendicant could restore it.
Some have no inkling of the past and simply wish to know thy enemy - that is, elemental opposite. These idealists wonder whether they are in fact two sides of the same coin with mutual focus on biology.
The edges of the Scarred Wasteland itself quickly sorts out who is just daydreaming and who has the willpower to stay the course.
~~~~~~~~~~~
Likewise, sometimes Plague dragons also venture to Viridian Labyrinth. Aside from others merely wanting a crack at the excessively abundant resources the local softies take for granted, those who are scouting for weaknesses for future epidemics, or those who roam causing outbreaks immediately, this type travels under an outward banner of truce.
For these pilgrims, diplomacy could be a ruse to learn Nature vulnerabilities, or perhaps sincere outreach. But either way, it behooves them to study Nature dragons in their native environment. A small portion of such Plague dragons are so exceedingly adaptive that they take on features with twofold benefit - fit in with the environment and put the natives at ease.
~~~~~~~
(move this to the quest section)
Mediocre diplomats think being someone’s audience or pupil is an honor to them. In reality, nobody owes anyone else a lesson, and it’s the diplomat’s duty to find this information. Each word or demonstration is a gift, and successful diplomats appreciate the time and effort spent.

Of tree dragons who enter the Scarred Wasteland, some turn back at the first hardships. Some endure longer but prudently turn back in time to make it out and tell the tale. Some die, abruptly or in gradual stages. Some simply carry on with their pilgrimage, unchanged.
But a sub-species now known as [i]Infected Trees[/i] are so healthy and thriving to begin with that they acclimate to the Scarred Wasteland environment - instead of succumbing to viruses they remain hearty and robust. Their skin has the [i]appearance[/i] of an affliction, but is in fact a beneficial adaptation which protects them from existing and evolving sicknesses.

Depending on the color and the dragon, it’s either a healthy vine, a mutated vine, or an unnatural vein or artery traveling around the body in paths no circulation would normally flow.

[u]Nature-heritage dragons (current as of 2024):[/u]
• Wildclaw (Modern, Rare)
• Auraboa (Ancient, but no Chrysocolla/Malachite gene)
For one of these to be an Infected Tree, they may feel the pull of Nature making their pilgrimage more difficult, or perhaps be extra devoted to their cause of unity. Physically, they may be blessed with more vitality and immunity, even above the other advantaged dragons that resulted in this subspecies.

• Mirror (Modern, Plentiful)
• Aberration (Ancient, but no Chrysocolla/Malachite gene)
For one of these to be an Infected Tree, they would be raised in Nature and have a homecoming of sorts to their ancestral Plague lands. If they consider themselves an “outsider among their own kind” that would be an extra nuance to their journey compared to the average pilgrim. Physically, they may be even more adaptive, versatile and resilient.

Infected Trees are not required to choose Infected Tree mates, nor mates that will breed true to Infected Tree breed standards.
However if you choose to breed with the breed standard in mind, [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/gde/3109561/1#post_3109561]this cheat sheet[/url] is priceless.
If that’s too complex, the TLDR is that Infected Tree genes are 97% guaranteed separately (91% guaranteed together) if the mate’s genes are all Rare.

“Why Chrysocolla/Malachite?”
To most people, they’re minerals. They’re also... very beautiful and unpredicible. They’re bark and a canopy of foliage with sunlight filtering through it, AND mossy algae growth AND circular skin lesions, all in one! A shift of even ONE hue is all the difference between delight and blight.
“Why Veined?”
Depending on the color and the dragon, it’s either a healthy vine, a mutated vine, or an unnatural vein or artery traveling around the body in paths no circulation would normally flow.

[center][b][u]Infected Trees - Eye Lore[/u][/b][/center]
Not all [i]Infected Trees[/i] hatched in Nature nests or have Nature element eyes.
Maybe their Nature parents were traveling and incubated elsewhere before bringing them home. Maybe they were raised under another element and felt the pull to Nature lands and communities on their own.
The element they are in body and heart, is much more significant than hatching element.
That said, hatching element does come with diverging side effects during the process that changes these particular dragons from tree dragons to [i]Infected Trees[/i].
[item=Nature Runestone] Nature: They have a knack at finding where plants would grow, if not to eat for themselves, then for the insects, water life and land animals that would be feeding on them.
[item=Plague Runestone] Plague: Despite being more Nature at heart than Plague, their inherent element gives them an intuition for dragons/things that are contagious to them, even if the carriers do not show symptoms.
[item=Arcane Runestone] Arcane: They feel when magic is at work nearby or targeted against them, even if someone is casting a spell to ambush them from shelter, and even if the spells are not Arcane.
[item=Earth Runestone] Earth: They instinctively recognize degrees of contamination that affect the land itself and can tell the least toxic terrain to travel over.
[item=Fire Runestone] Fire: The stark nighttime cold does not drop their internal body temperature or cause so much as a shiver thanks to inner warmth. To dragons lying next to them, they are a living radiator.
[item=Ice Runestone] Ice: The punishing daytime heat does not push them to fainting and does not drain their stamina thanks to an inner coolness. Even dragons leaning on them would remark that they feel welcomingly cool to the touch.
[item=Light Runestone] Light: They have no blindness or eye damage from days of being struck with piercing light reflected on sand. They are not even troubled by mirages or glare, and easily spot things others overlook.
[item=Lightning Runestone] Lightning: Charge buildup in the atmosphere warns them when “a little rain to help the parched landscape” is about to be flash floods on land and lightning crashes in the air.
[item=Shadow Runestone] Shadow: At night, even moonless and starless blackness is no barrier to finding their way. Brutal daylight is as atrocious as ever, but even the shade of boulders or canyon walls is enough to get by.
[item=Water Runestone] Water: With healthy drinking water so scant, they feel the distance to fresh water in any direction and can choose the nearest or most convenient to their route. They can also gauge water's purity before arriving on site.
[item=Wind Runestone] Wind: Traveling by air, they can take advantage of currents for better speed and distance than should be possible. They can also stay aloft longer without wearing out.

[columns][item=Amaranth Moth][nextcol]Amaranth Moth: This distinctive moth has deep reds and purples running through its leafy wings. It's difficult to classify as purely flora or fauna.

Water: With healthy drinking water so scant, they feel the distance to fresh water in any direction and can choose the nearest or most convenient to their route. They can also gauge water's purity before arriving on site.
Wind Runestone

Understanding one's opposite element is not just a backstory.
Completing quests fulfills your dragon's journey, earns badges, and earns higher rank in the registry.
You even expand your own connection to two rich and colorful cultures of Flight Rising.

[b]Quest Rules[/b]
1) Anyone is welcome to do the quests, even if you do not own these subspecies. Let's work on Nature and Plague culture together!
2) Quests can be done in any order.
3) Performing the quests once counts for every dragon in your clan of that subspecies.
[emoji=candle size=1] They're quests to write lore or do real life activities, not a succeed/fail challenge you need to repeat for each dragon.
[emoji=candle size=1] So you are free to assume all your diplomat dragons made a group expedition or apprenticed new additions.
[emoji=candle size=1] But if you want to redo a quest for a particular dragon, go right ahead.
4) Dragons who change clans do not take their rank with them, unless the new clan has already performed the quests.
[emoji=candle size=1] Starting hatchlings with a clean slate makes sense.
[emoji=candle size=1] But even a longterm diplomat could say an unfortunate misunderstanding happened to lose the opposite flight’s trust and need to rebuild.
5) Checklist to rank up to Ambassador:
[__] The Quest To Speak as the subspecies's HOME element. If you're not able or comfortable to write as that flight, do The Quest To Listen for its home element
[__] The Quest To Listen for the subspecies’s OPPOSITE element
[__] any Nature activity quest
[__] any Plague activity quest
[__] any creation quest
