#galewing

During the events of a great war between the tribes, the Seawing and Skywing queens formed an alliance against the Rainwings. The Rainforest Kingdom was notoriously hard to infiltrate, so the queens sent troops led by some of their most trusted warriors to stakeout the high cliffs on to the ocean near the edge of Rainwing territory. sta.sh/02179c27fnjg The place was filled with deep tunnels and caverns, and the small army could easily keep hidden there for the many months it took them to gather enough information on the Rainwings to perform their attack. The outcome of the attack, and the war are inconsequential, and the remaining troops, having been together so long, decided to return to their caves rather than go home to their queens. The kingdom started out as just a small village, the dragons there being the last surviving troops of the group, had a very hardened anti-war stance. The village inside the caverns of the cliffs, was named Tidalwave Cavern, after the brave leader (Tidalwave) of the Seawing side of the troops who had died in the attack on the rainforest. Now, hundreds of years later, there are many more towns within the Galewing Kingdom, and Tidalwave village has become Tidalwave city, the heart of the kingdom. The Galewing royal family is a little complicated, the original royalty within the first group of dragons was Prince Tidalwave (mentioned earlier) and his brother, Prince Bluering. There was no royals among the Skywing troops. The first leaders of the tribe were Bluering, and his mate Falcon (a skywing), their first daughter was the first official queen. Her name was Stratus. The current royal family can all trace their genes back to Queen Stratus, the current queen being Queen Thunder. A short time after the other tribes accepted the Galewings as an official tribe, a young, creative Galewing named Spark convinced the rest of the tribe they needed something unique, to set themselves apart from the other tribes. Every now and then, a dragonet would be born without fire, and Spark was one of those dragons. But Spark had something no other Galewing before her had, she was descended from the Seawing royal family, and had inherited Animus powers from them. Galewings did not have much knowledge of Animus powers, or how to control them. But Spark was charming and confident, and her family believed she could solve their problems. Spark imbued the entire Galewing tribe with conductive electric breath, making sure all would see them as something unique, but equal, and that any new dragonets would always have breath to defend themselves. Spark was an amazing inventor, and aided with her Animus powers created fantastic things for her tribe. In the tribes deepest dungeons, where only those guilty of the most horrible crimes, she created vast metal cells. Only able to be opened by the Galewing's conductive breath. (The prisoners of course, had their mouths restricted). Spark had her own small cavern, filled with all sorts of invention ideas and insane ramblings. They say that any dragon who overuses their Animus powers become soulless and murderous. But Spark mostly stayed the same, if not displaying even more maniacal enthusiasm for her work. Spark is long dead, of course. But the modern day Galewings still revere her work as unmatched genius. The glowing markings on their bodies come from their Seawing ancestors, and they allow the Galewings to communicate through the thick storm clouds in and around their Kingdom, as well as to help see down in the deep tunnels of their caves. Galewing names are usually related to electricity, storms, clouds, and things like that. But some Seawing and Skywing names are also common, as well as names of purple and blue gemstones.

Galewings are a closed WoF fantribe, meaning you have to pay to make one, or buy premade adoptables, or win free ones from competitions and events, ect. You may not make your own without my permission. The base price for a galewing is 400 points, or $4 US Dollars. For a royal Galewing, add 200 points/$2 For an Animus Galewing, add 300 points/$3 (Animus dragons are automatically royal, since only royal blood has the Animus gene) For an albino/melanistic/piebald Galewing add 100 points/$1 There is no extra price for hybrids. If you'd like to buy one, please send me a note saying what kind you'd like, and whether you're paying with points or paypal. If you're paying with paypal please also send the email attached to your account, so I can send you an invoice. Upon purchase, I will send you this lineart, which you can use to make your Galewing if you don't want to draw your own. But I encourage you to!
