I’m lost in my bad thoughts I put myself in the bathtub, adungbadung georida The noise slowly fades as I close up If I had made that choice back then, You wouldn’t have left me again like that, Again like that Bad t’s my bad, But I’ll make things right, no turning back I’m gonna get you back back back from my bad bad And I’ll find my way, no looking back I’m gonna get you back I’m left with this…

this is approximately 4000 years old ily davidcombination of general facts about my lair and actual lore because why not

1. “there is no canon lore reason for all of my imperials and for that i apologize” i say, as i blatantly ignore those few lines of canon lore.

2. It’s only ever addressed in Kit’s lore, but the clan houses a small colony of Tourmaline Vulstals. Nillia sends the kits out as gifts to allied clans from time to time.

3. i have no idea how savitri and huginn and muninn fit into my clan’s lore dear skia and mikki i am so sorry

4. Feng and Huo are almost constantly making things, especially armor and jewelry, even when they don’t have any orders or requests. The excess pieces usually go into gifts for allied clans or are bartered off, either given to the few trading ships that visit the Southern Icefield or taken to Wind markets.

5. It’s been discussed somewhere on the blog before I think, but members of the main clan are typically separated into one of three “houses” under the three lords ruling my clan.

6. Edel’s house is the largest, with anyone without a preference or who hasn’t been claimed by another lord automatically joining it.

7. Mor’s is the second largest and includes the members of his underground network (still trying to figure out if he gets jurisdiction over the merchants and ambassadors lmao).

8. To the public, Meri’s is empty, though technically Huginn and Muninn are his; it’s just that nobody but the lords actually knows that they exist.

9. Morcant is a masochist. He also likes /struggling/, though he’d never admit it.

10. Though they like everyone in the clan (with some preference toward Kit and Nillia) it’s Demagogue who gets along best with the clan’s Tourmaline Vulstal population. After her dragon form, her Vulstal form is the most comfortable for her to take.

11. Ruby adores tea. Quite possibly more than both Xin and Kit, which is an amazing accomplishment, to say the least.

12. Feng and Huo don’t need to eat. They derive all the sustenance they need from light (dragon photosynthesis!), which they absorb through their gems. They’re actually incapable of obtaining nutrients or energy from food at all, and eating provides them with no benefit at all aside from enjoyment.

13. Zjarr and Lumi don’t need to eat either. They derive all of their energy by absorbing magic from the environment via the brightly colored markings they sport. They’re capable of processing food better than Feng and Huo can, though. (They can obtain nutrients from food, it’s just less efficient and not what their bodies are made for. Kind of like how pandas eat bamboo, even though they’d get more energy from and are made for eating meat.)

14. While we’re on the subject of eating, Dema doesn’t either. She, like Feng and Huo, is unable to process food; from time to time she can be found eating with the others purely for enjoyment, but must regurgitate everything she consumes because it makes her sick.

15. Nillia is unable to bear children. Also panromantic/asexual.

16. Kuen loves ugly sweaters. This was not news to anyone. I switch the order of his sweaters as often as I remember to do so. I should go switch the order of his sweaters.

17. jen and mor are hatefucking it’s canon. also mor is trans that is also canon.

18. Fulbright adores cats. They like him significantly less.

19. i am The Worst at naming things, hence the pages of unnamed dragons in my lair. to everyone i have bought a hatchling from: im sorry

20. The clan currently resides within one of the smaller mountains of the Cloudscrape Crags. The entrance is about halfway up the mountain.

21. The lair was basically just an oversized cave when Nadja and Kuen first found it, but the clan has since hollowed out most of the bottom half of the mountain. There’s a large central fort/castle that occupies the topmost level, nearest the entrance, with the guard’s barracks and healer’s den on the level directly below. Everything else is below that, either carved directly into the side of the mountain or built on platforms carved into the mountain. The nesting grounds are at the base of the mountain, on the bottommost level.

22. Goleski and Cassie are a pair of living statues who act as sentries for the main clan. They typically stand guard at the clan’s main entrance, though they do like scaring new arrivals by changing position in the night.

23. It’s also by Goleski and Cassie’s magic that the lair stays lit and the snow and cold stay out.

24. niente is prettyboysexual, probably

25. Abel has the uncanny ability to eat extremely sour things without so much as batting an eye. It’s fucking terrifying watching the guy just straight eat a lemon.
