artzilla's Clan

I am River of clan leader, chosen in a vision in the clouds before everyone. The vision was Flameforger. He proclaimed that, I though a, hatchling I was to be the next leader. Bastuan was old and would soon be joining the great clan of peace. I have over a 100 dragons in my lair, each of them has special talents. I promote the arts to all hatchlings. Encourage those that come to to choose a lair. around for many years and remember being the 2nd generation after the great war. It was a terrible time. Everyone fighting for territory and dominance. We have warmth all year. It never floods or snows. The lava flows created many caverns giving us lots of room for lairs. As we expand new caverns are formed. It's almost a though it knows when they are needed.

My den is near the eastern face of the main volcano and gets the most fresh air. It also has the most space for expansion.

Most of my clan produces 3 to 5 eggs most of the time. First time breeding females usually have one or two which works out just fine. New mothers sometimes just don't have the instincts to bond and raise her babies. I visit as often as my duties allow to check their progress. II'm glad I have plenty females laying and raising all the time. The nursery stays full.

I am pretty sure most other Clans, are jealous of my dragons. They are the most talented in the arts and hunting and gathering. Squabbles bring Flamecaller wrath and they get severe punishment. Sometimes i banishes the troublemakers. Some go straight to the watch towers and defense lines. I've had two banished and forced into early service because they were foolish. One of them was the best aerialist the clans ever produced. He was killed in his first battle.

Last year I was visited by a Warrior from a clan of cats in the outer realms. He said his name was Firestar next to him was a sleek female named Sandstorm. I think she may have been his mate. There were so many starry cats, almost as many as our realm.

Anyway, he said there may come a time of unrest where the fighting amidst the clans will threaten even the smallest of hatchlings. He said that they have gone thru the same thing but came together when they faced something called a twoleg. Then they came to a second home by an immense lake. One season there was a time of great evil in their clans. Cats from a dark place, a place with no stars came through to fight the clans. They were savage and ruthless. The leader of these evil cats was Tigerstar.

He was defeated by Firestar during a great battle ending many seasons of the hatered between them. He showed me many things, images, I can barely comprehend.

I encourage creativity and tells the hatchlings tales and myths about all the clans. Going back to the the first days.
