Lore Ideas: Flight fertility statues dedicated to each deity
The Ice flight dragons have long since forgotten why they don’t make fertility statues dedicated to the Icewarden. Those that do know prefer to let the others continue not knowing.
Whispers float around about the Light flight’s fear of accidentally creating emperors. Fertility statues dedicated to the Lightweaver are notoriously absent from those made by the flights.
There are no such thing as Plague flight “fertility” statues. It’s not superstition, it’s just rather impractical given where they live and nest. The word “fertility” also has negative Nature connotations to some dragons.
Meanwhile, the Arcane flight finds it pointless to make fertility statues given the disaster-prone tendencies of their God. They use attempted enchantments, sometimes on the nesting area directly before use, which has mixed results.
Nature flight fertility statues are often seen as the most rich and beautiful, based on the fertility of soil and earth and greenery. Some are towering landscape sculptures, but most are bonsais of varying designs and species.
The Wind flight decorates statues with pretty trinkets and whatever strikes their flightful fancies. Statues run the gamut in overall design and shape, freeform as the flight’s spirits and the wind itself.
Earth flight fertility statues are constructed and carved out of massive geodes, of varying gemstone types. The most common gemstone colors are yellows and browns. The statues are then painted on the rocky outsides.
The dragons of the forges, the Fire flight, carefully craft theirs in elaborate metalwork. The more details and better the craftsmanship, the more "effective" they are. Mass produced ones are also considered less effective.
The Lightning flight’s are hastily assembled scrap metal and wire sculptures with poorly positioned lightning rods. The way to win the Stormcatcher’s favor is through other means.
The Shadow flight creates theirs from the old logs. Logs with plentiful glowing mushrooms are selected. Scattering “Shadowbinder’s Tears” minerals into the hollow is customary. Further decorations include varieties of mud-art on the log.
The fertility statues of the Water flight mysteriously dissolved recently, as things dedicated to the Tidelord are apt to do these days. They were generally constructed of sedimentary rock, shells, and coral.
