There be dragons here

"-SOULWOVEN??? HYONIX SOULWEAVING CONNECTION???"

Anyways I do also have the rest of the set, so

I'd be curious to hear what those in the Plains would think of a story of a dragon blocking all semblance of light.

Damn if that ain't the truth.

This isn't too surprising to be honest. The Shadowscythe and forces of doom like to operate from the shadows, pun-intended, so it only makes sense if a good portion of the Plains rarely ever hear about them, save perhaps those from the Darkness Plains. As it stands now, I imagine they're still in the coalescing phase of their schemes. While they amass power and forces, they'll actively operate covertly against their enemies.

Ashen? As in the Fire Plains? Or as in someplace that's a mix between fire and earth? My gut says the former and yet...

On a different note, is the Ashen Kingdom using the Kinnaran as hired muscle or are they being hired by another party to take the water crystals? Either way, it's a shame that this seems to be what Kinnar's people have been reduced to on a grand scale when the peace their accord achieved cease to last.

Bet you ten gold pieces she tries imprisons us thinking we kidnapped Mihyun and are manipulating her to our own benefit.

Not a single word spoken and you can already tell how they introduced themselves

Notha: "Hi"

Uaanta: "Well met"

Myalos: "Greetings"

I'm loving Notha's giddiness over all this new information. It's weirdly infectious.

Ah so I was wrong about the incursion having come from the Plane of Water previously controlled by Neso. Rather interesting to hear that Hyonix quarreled with Neso but not all that surprising. While the Great Dragons were all forged to uphold the balance and protect their respective planes in the wake of the twin's absence, it's clear they possess their own autonomy to go against the wishes and whims of their creators as we can assume with Akriloth and as we know to be the case with Draco.

Though it does beg the question, as to why Neso and Hyonix were feuding to begin with. If this was around the same time Kathool broke free, then perhaps they were fighting over what to do about the water elves that had been enthralled by the Primordial but if not I'm not sure what they could have been fighting over.

All day the stars watch from long ago my mother said I am going now when you are alone you will be all right whether or not you know you will know

The oc binge continues!

I want to draw them more, but I keep blanking on what I want to draw them doing.

Someone sensitive to magic might notice something a bit odd about the weathermage on the airship named Wanderlust. As she stands on the bow or swings in the ropes, there is an impression around her, the shadow of wings or the swish of a tail. A trick of the light, surely?

Rasa is a dragon with an airship, that used to be a ship-ship. It’s handy for taking all of her things about in, like a nice portable lair. She collects shells and seaglass and old maps. The crew that helps to operate the ship Is counted as part of her collection too.

She likes writing spells, because everyone needs a hobby. The spell that makes an airship fly is one of her creations, though it doesn’t have her name on it. She doesn’t mind, and still tinkers with the spell to keep her ship better and faster than the others. If he would let her, she would look into the spell that binds Winter, and maybe fix it.

She loves to wander, and shapeshifts so she can people watch from up close. She isn’t secretive about her identity, but having the ship and running a courier service make it easier to get around (and is more ‘acceptable’ than the general piracy of the old days). Sometimes they even take passengers. She delights in the shock when she flings herself over the side, freefalling until she catches herself by manipulating the wind, or shifting in midair.

Her magic is weather flavoured, she can meddle with the wind, move the clouds, make it rain or summon a storm.

Happy 20th birthday, Dragonfable! Here's to many more years in Lore. ❤️
