A constellation familiar? Just stars that form a picture - could be an actually existing one (then maybe one from the southern and one of the northern hemisphere?) or ones that only exist on sornieth

I think [b]Fairies and Pixies[/b] would be such a great choice. Searching this topic, it looks like they've been suggested for over a decade, too.
[center][item=Pixie Procession] [item=Ethereal Entourage][/center]
Aside from the above apparel items, I tried to dig up items related to them to unearth official lore. There's quite a few named after them, but the vast majority lack descriptions with faerie/pixie info.
The few items with descriptions are only tongue-in-cheek references rather than information (which is [i]not[/i] a jab, mind you-- I love FR's cheeky item descriptions). For example:
[center][item=Fairy Ears] [item=Moonstone][/center]
From my search so far, I've found only one actual lore snippet for Sornieth's faeries: [b]Wispwillow Grove[/b]'s description:
[center][columns][img alt="Wispwillow Grove icon"]https://www1.flightrising.com/static/layout/lair_icons/26.png[/img][nextcol][quote]"If any part of this darkened land can be called beautiful, it is the grove. All manner of giant glowing fungi dot the terrain, providing the only light that does not fight its way through the murk that hangs above. [b]Among these mushrooms, trickster dragons chase firebugs and faeries, content to capture some for the eerie lanterns that illuminate their hovels and caves.[/b]"[/quote][/columns][/center]
So what's possibly the only thing we know about them is they get captured for light sources. Ironically, rather dark. But! I think a few familiars would be a great lore expansion or "band-aid" of sorts. Here's some [b]more specific familiar ideas[/b]:
[LIST]
[*] A faerie familiar with tools to bust its fellow faeries out of lanterns. Possible cat burglar vibes.
[*] A faerie/pixie that offers its light to dragons in exchange for something? So instead of being a dragon's prisoner, it's free and just helping a dragon out in exchange for an item or something it wants. Maybe a faerie/pixie scribe carrying a feather pen, and it helps a dragon compose letters in the dark. Or perhaps it was given a favored snack to munch on while it sits on a dragon's desk and acts as a temporary desk lamp.
[*] Faerie/pixie guides. They can be hired to willingly guide dragons through the darkest, most tangled parts of the forest. No dragon-made lamp housing required!
[*] Lamp/lantern-makers. Faeries/pixies collect and use their dust to craft lanterns, which they then sell to dragons or beastclan members.

There's a myth explaining how this fungus came to be, but it isn't very pleasant.

Moonstone
Minerals & Ores
This radiant gemstone is known for its magical ability to aid in the biological morphing processes of some rare types of sprites and fairies.

YES more succulent familiars! Jade plants are fun shapes. Echeverria and Haworthia likewise.

This!! Was finding this thread to suggest the same idea. ^^ Would love a Cloudrider Fiona recolor inspired by Sun Wukong!

So we have these cute little blobs of limitless potential:
[item=Leftover Residue][item=Cheerful Residue][item=Sentient Alloy][item=Shiny Residue]
They're magic potion cauldron drips, so they could be any color under the sun. Certainly they could be any color that Transmutation materials come out of the cauldron with! Yet three out of four of them are yellow-orange.
Could we get them in a rainbow array of colors, please? Green, red, blue, purple, black, white? Gold, silver, copper? Lavender, seafoam, pearl, radioactive...?

Leftover Residue
Familiar
The remains of your latest brew are bright blue, which makes absolutely no sense, given what went into it. Ah... science.
250
Cheerful Residue
Familiar
So the experiment was not exactly a success...but somehow you cannot bring yourself to dump the results. Is... is it smiling at you?
250
Sentient Alloy
Familiar
This globule is capable of thinking and feeling and making its own decisions; too bad it will never be taken seriously with a face like that.
250
Shiny Residue
Familiar
This reflective glop has gotta be good for something. Better hang onto it, just in case.

Dragons currently available for adoption through Ashfall Rescue:
Fiona recolor of the Dubious Cartography and Mad World, but in crimson! ;o; I can't think of a name, but maybe it could use the description "It's the end of the world as we know it - and I feel fine...Wait, NO I DON'T! HELP!".
Or maybe "Living Jam" familiers? We have strawberries and the like onsite as it is, so why not? Maybe there can be a red and blue version, and then if you bond with them both, Fiona will have a purple or black one?
If I'm being honest, I'm probably consuming too much Cookie Run right now, but they'd be interesting... xD
