Hey there, and welcome to my lair! You can call me Turtle. I'm a returning player who's happy to be back and always excited to make a new friend! :] My clan follows a rule set similar to nuzlockes, and the rules will be listed below. Nice to meet you!

Nestled against the northeastern cliffside of light territory lies a cove, and within that cove lies a dock, and resting at that dock lies a boat; An old, rickety thing- Unassuming and unattractive, but capable of taking you where you need to go. At least, you think so; The invitation you received instructed you to arrive here... though, the place is deserted. Almost gloomy, even, as fog rolls across the water like a thick blanket.

Your talons crunch into the gravelly shore as you warily approach the vessel, and the closer you get the clearer your ears register a noise; Music! The strumming of strings on a lute, and what sounds like humming. Though the humming itself is rather monotone, the music is beautiful, and the strings seem to lift the monotone into its own melody.
You've never heard anything like it.

As you take your first step onto the dock, the old wood creaks underfoot, and the music stops. One would assume this was because you startled the musician, but there's not so much as a peep in response- other than a few light pitter-patters of what sounds like tiny talons.

Peeking over the lip of the boat is a small, porcelain-masked face, stuck in a smile. A round-bodied, tiny fae male- you think it's a male, a bit hard to tell with faes. His frills are up and attentive, and when he spots you, he flaps his tiny wings and pulls up onto the railing to wave at you enthusiastically. The lute-strumming resumes, which is odd, given that his hands aren't on it; But even more odd is how it accents his speaking.

Similarly to when he was humming, the music pulls his voice out of the usual fae monotone, giving him a bit of a jovial tone as he addresses you.
"Oh, Hello! You must be our guest! I've been sent to guide you. My name is Swallowtail." He beckons you closer. "Climb aboard! I know the boat looks a bit shady, but I assure you it's stable! You won't be on it too long, anyway."

[WIP! MORE SOON ^^]

self-imposed clan rules, subject to change:
- Lore WIP! all dragons I collect will receive it at some point!
- No buying dragons from the AH, except under specific circumstances* (adopted/gifted dragons would be cool though!) (exception if I'm looking for something specific!)
- Only gather food from coli fights/unlocked gatherings for now; keep the clan fed!
- Other gathering modes will be unlocked as i assign dragons roles that correspond with said gathering type (farmer, hunter, fisher, etc) and supply them with proper tools
- Currently scavenging, foraging, bug catching and fishing are unlocked, but I've just kept scavenging in hopes for a new clanmate!
- Might make an injury system! Once I have a medic the risk of death will be lowered, but it could be fun to have specific rolls like D&D death saves or something
- Dragons watching a nest can't die until the nest has hatched
- *Adopted/Specially bought dragons will NOT be exalted!!!

I'm trying to get clothes/genes/etc for all my projects but I... have no money... So if I haven't gotten to a dragon I've adopted from you that's probably why lol...

Current target genes: Petals, Soil, Eclipse, Wish

future sona plan!

Hehe Thank you! I love that skin so much and it looked so good on them :D I adore the idea of giving the canon lore a twist!

Webworm’s parents sound so cool, I love the idea of both a tundra who uses subtle scent differences to categorise inanimate objects that’s so so cool, and also a plague dragon sowing seeds and spreading plant life instead of spreading illness and contagion is so good!! I can’t wait to read more of your lore, I’d love to be given a poke when you’ve got some more written out :D

I’ll keep you updated when I’ve got some more sorted ^^ I’m very excited about Webworm, they fit in a little gap in my lore so well and I never would have though their colours would work so nicely together until I saw them (I LOVE grapefruit as a colour but my eyes are can’t handle eye burners at all TwT)

Thank you :D I’ve been doing a little better now, hopefully on my way out of it, hope you’re doing well too! Batteries are a real pain, take your time and make sure to look after yourself!

I really enjoyed your clan blurb, your opening descriptors and how you describe the way Swallowtail speaks with the music underlaying to form a tone is genius and reads really beautifully! I really love the sort of haunting mysterious feeling you get as the fog rolls in too, super excited to read more ^^

Currently I’m stringing together the next portion of the story, it should be done relatively soon, doing a little overhaul to format things slightly differently but once that’s done I’ll be extracting the rest of my lore from my head onto the page finally TwT

Oh! Also I was wondering if I could buy Webworm from you, their colour combo is beautiful!

I love that name so much and it totally suits her. I can’t wait to see what you do with her :)

I don’t mind at all! I’d love to see what any of my dragons look like later on with your own creativity applied to them ^^

Gah I’m so sorry it took me so long to reply! Thank you so so much that’s exactly the feeling I was going for! I’m so glad it landed :DD I’m super in love with your avatar dragon, chorus - saddle is SUCH a good look especially with the porcelain marionette apparel!
