Clan Details A Summary of the Accursed Clan’s Circumstances A Complete Record of Current Inhabitants

🍓 This made me realize how few pathetic dragons I have . Basically all of the pathetic ones are only pathetic in a SPECIFIC way. Certainly doesn't help how few of them are actually developed... However, I did manage to find A wet cat dragon that works well enough! Meet Ronwen, the primary caretaker of the clan. She watches after and raises most of the clan's hatchlings, but... well... let's just say having to deal with the curse's shenanigans firsthand certainly hasn't hardened her spirit. The precarious position of the young'uns' safety has sufficiently tired and worried her day in and day out. It's good that she's managed to find a partner and child, along with an assistant, because I'm not sure how she'd be doing if she was the only one to have to deal with all that...

🍌 Ohhhhhhh boy you've signed yourself up for a RIDE with this one! There's a few developed relationships in my clan, but the big one that remains in my mind time and time again are Fragile and Blight. Their entire situation and how they got there is all very funny to me, largely from an outside perspective. When Blight first arrived, basically everyone was unnerved by Blight's fascination with the darker sides of magic, seeming to have joined the clan entirely to see the magical effects the curse had on the inhabitants. Fragile, however, seemed EXTRA nervous, continuing to avoid Blight even when everyone else had calmed down. This was very strange to everyone else, because as an ex-conman he was usually pretty good at keeping himself together. Things only got more confusing when she stopped avoiding Blight and started showing curiosity in Blight's magic, STILL seeming constantly on-edge around Blight. It got to a point where her sibling, Canary, was convinced Blight was blackmailing her. I even have an entire story in the works from the point of view of them, but that's not what this is about. What this is ABOUT is that Fragile was, in fact, nervous because he thought Blight was very cool and interesting and also kind-of-a-little-bit-just-a-little-though attractive. Blight started by thinking Blight just had to scare him away, but after a while realized his whole act was actually pretty adorable. Nowadays, nobody's sure what's going on with the two of them and both the clan's therapist and the clan's head archivist can't get ahold of either for long enough to get answers. The only dragons who know for SURE what's going on are the two lovebirds and Canary.

🍑 "Do you expect me to sit here and ignore what's going on? Do you think I'll just continue reading my books and sorting my files? That's what they all think I'll do. It isn't uncommon for strange things to happen here, they always do. But not like this. I saw their wounds. I saw the flittering creatures that sewed the unnamed dragon's gashes shut when it thought no one was looking. I saw the runes on Blessing's face move. I saw them shift, change. These two are the only dragons in the entire clan that are completely unaffected by the curse. Do you really think it's possible for them to start showing symptoms at the exact same time? The others might believe so, but the two of them... the way they managed these features was too natural." Not COMPLETELY sure what 'the author's commentary' refers to, but this tidbit and the rest of the entry was written by Twilight, the head archivist. This was after the living manifestation of the curse that took over and an anticurse attempting to kill it fought in a, frankly, WILD display. Twilight really doesn't want anyone to find this note, for reasons partly unknown even to themself. Will the curse be chased out? Will they die by something indragon's hand? They don't know! But it's something they REALLY don't want to find out.

it means im losing my mind at how little lore sprites have despite being somewhat linked to the deities and thus the worldbuilding brain has taken over and i want to write down my sprite thoughts -the first ever sprites were made to serve as a direct connection between each deity and their children, there are other sprites that appear through so far unknown means cause i only recently had these ideas but they arent quite as common as the later created nymphs -the first eleven sprites have short one to two syllable unique names, meanwhile all sprites and nymphs afterwards tend to have names relevant to their element -less of a worldbuilding thing and more of a headcanon, i think the art for each of the sprites is specifically of the first ones. not all sprites look exactly at that, its just the most prominent examples -the sprites in glimmer and gloom are actually real sprites! ...technically. theyre actors that work at the fairgrounds and that isnt their real personalities. theyre actually pretty close friends that take great joy in competing and being mean to eachother while in character, just like in real life! -not QUITE sure whats going on with the nymphs, but one cool possibility is that while sprites are formed directly within the territory, nymphs happen when theyre in the boundary between two territories, thus exhibiting traits from each. this does mean that theres way more variety than the ones we see ingame, like a crystal nymph that largely looks like an ice sprite but also has more earthy features! this is also why theres so many more nymphs than sprites, because most areas of land would result in a nymph

i dont have any more at the moment! uh. um. my favorite sprite is the lightning sprite and my favorite nymph is the sparkle nymph
