[Old drawing :'v I don't like the pose of Cristal and the shoes :'v]

Made on the cliff faces lands far away from the mapped corners of Twisted Wonderland, lay the Mildrgarðr Cliffs. Dragons and Vikings flew there, with riders on the dragons - when the clan had fully settled, they sought out to make a world of their own.

At this time, dragons and vikings had gotten along, but, facing the threat of hunters, the clan wanted to protect their now companions. This is the reason they left their home and disappeared off of the face of the map forever.

The island has a few noticeable landmarks. One is a giant dragon skull that had been washed up during a terrible storm - said storm sent the skull flying onto the highest hill. The vikings saw this as a sign from Valhalla.

The school, placed on an archipelago near the main island looks like a delicate greenhouse bubble from where its place is placed on the edge of the cliff face near the edge - accessible only to those with a strong bond with a dragon - . Though, that is just a garden.

Inside the cliff, though, is a comfy medieval and norse-style school - tapestries and fur coats hung about, wooden desks and chairs, and an overall cozy theme. Books lay about the shelves, paper and charcoal pencil are always available to students, though, if the school has run out of free supplies, students are to scrap thin sheets off of special trees that grow on the island for paper.

Inside classrooms, desks are organized in the old fashioned way, but with more space. In class, dragons are taught knowledge the clan has passed down for generations, as well and new information learned from straying ships.

The headmaster’s office is carved out of marble that was found in the island in plenty - the chair a wooden throne encircled/mantled overhead by a pair of night fury wings, while the entire room is spacious, leaving much space to work.The student council often reconciles there for events and curriculums.

The mess hall is the center of the entire school, and one of the biggest parts in the entire college. It bears a resemblance to the viking war meeting rooms of old times, but with a more comforting and gentle atmosphere to accommodate the dragons.

The school has specialized furniture specifically built for dragons - holes in the chairs for the tails to slip through, wing rests for when the students don’t feel like holding their wings over the back of the chair, scratching pads on the arm rests for if the claws are being a bother… overall the school is considerate towards students and their diets, not to mention their specifications.

The dorms are sections off in different parts of the archipelago the school is stationed on. Each dorm is specialized to fit the personality and needs of the class of dragon.For the Tidal class/dorm, they are stationed lower on the cliffside, with clear access to water at all times, with a few rooms even being underwater!

The clan keeps its traditions firm and the same as old times, but with tweaks to be inclusive to their dragon companions. For reference, their customs are like those of Norse Vikings, with the addition of Dragon Racing, Thawfest, and Maces and Talons for traditional games.

Dragons, before the peace between them and Viking, were hunted down by the thousands. When it all changed, the Vikings seeking to protect the great dragons knew they had to get them off of the island. At the Mildrgarðr cliffs, to conceal what much they could of the dragons' identity, made potions that turned them into mostly humans.

Despite the potions, dragons retain some draconic features - wings, if they have any, tails, claws, sharp teeth, and other features on their species. A peek on the inside of their anatomy shows they are similar to harpy anatomy, but with scales and bat-like wings, of course! Their temporalis muscle is stronger to support their, at times, harsh diet, while the sagittal crest is stronger for a more deadly bite force when heavy pressure is applied.

Ribcages are huge to give the dragons the stamina they need to fly. And the sternum, too, is stronger and bigger than a human's to support the muscles that control their wings. Dragons with extra arms have muscles there that support the wings.

The lungs and heart are vital parts of the dragon, so those have a stronger durability to keep the dragon functioning for all the energy it uses. Back muscles are more robust to support the wings - and the pelvis is like a human's, but with a more pronounced and thicker tail bone, with the ligaments going all the way through the tail for whipping power. Muscles are strong there too - but for more lean species relying on agility, the muscles are leaner. For more compactness? The muscles accommodate the size.

Almost strictly carnivorous back in the day, but now the species are more adjusted to plants, less picky with food choices as their palates have adjusted. Ladies of the species, like some others, are generally larger than the males - who are less dominant than females. Bones, fur, and scales cannot be digested by these creatures. Since some species swallow their prey whole, they have a specialized part of their digestive track that allows the indigestible materials into fuel for flame/amber sacs as fuel. Those who do not have fire, like some tidal class dragons and dragons with sonic breath, can swallow the indigestible parts without consequence via special parts in the organs which increase the power of the acidic fluids. Bones and muscles in the limbs of the dragon are strong due to how much they are exercised, They have the mating routines of birds.

The clan does not have magic - only the dragons do. Even if the vikings learned magic they prohibit themselves from using it, seeing using that magic as a disrespect to dragons - wanting them to have further advantage over vikings if the off chance of their old ways of hunting dragons resurfaced. The vikings didn’t need magic, anyways, being technologically advanced as their environment allows, they can still fight against invading ships. ⫷◈—◈⫸
