Liphara, “land of the strange tails”

I feel like mudwings would have a more crocodilian-sort of body shape, more designed for ambush, with shorter, thicker necks since they're known to be the tanks of the tribes.

Sandwings I took more inspiration from vipers and lizards that actually live in the desert, and I feel like they could almost slither across the sand to sneak up on prey.

Nightwings I took a lot more inspiration from things like komodo dragons, and gave them kind of stretchier skin on their underside and smaller scales across their body, which I feel like mimics things like obsidian and volcanic rock.

Seawings deserve some anglerfish lures and the bioluminescence to be more similar to IRL creatures like deep-sea jellyfish. I also took inspiration from dolphins for the head shape, seeing as we read about how the seawings believe them to be cousins of sorts.

Rainwings I took inspiration from chameleons and frilled lizards, make them look like they can be threatening if they want to.

Icewings I gave almost seal-fur on their undersides for more help on the ice, caribou-esque horns to give a bit of uniqueness to the silhouette, and protruding tusks both for the ice and silhouette.

Been doing some planning for the topography of the continents that the Dragons, Gnolls, and other inhabitants call home. I'm liking the overall shape/flow of the map so far, but it's probably likely to change as I mess around with it using Gaia 2 procedural generation.

The Desert lands across the Seas extend further west and north, but a type of arcane radiation -- leftover from the cataclysmic warring and extinction of the Dragon Tribe that called that area home -- has forced the Gnolls (and other organic life) to the coastal regions. A little bit of story-time there, but don't want to spoil too much.

N - “I...I apologize...but you have lost me.”

E - “Uhh...”

...so...twenty dragons in each tribe...eleven tribes, two-hundred and twenty dragons in total...so, one of her and eleven tribes? 1/11?

N - “Alright...”

You still don’t understand, do you?

N - “...no, but you won’t have to explain any further...you will only lose me more.”
