I LOVE All This EggEater/Talos Lore, But It Got Me Curious About Something. How Does Lord Talos' Clan
I LOVE all this EggEater/Talos lore, but it got me curious about something. How does Lord Talos' clan handle dragons with Disabilities? Blind dragons, deaf dragons, mute dragons. Dragons with missing limbs or wings. Dragons with PSTD and other kinds of mental/emotional stuff! Im super curious!
This is a fantastic question! ^^
GET READY FOR SOME WORDBUILDING
The Talosians have always been very accepting of those who have different needs, mostly due to the sense of family they feel for the other subclans along with their constant discussions on the (MANY MANY) philosophies of justice. While they do value the wants and needs of the individual(such as letting dragons receive specialized educations within whichever subclan they so choose) , they are also an extremely community-minded clan and take pride in such a fact.
MISSING LIMBS
This is important, because this mindset has helped create a very accessible and positive environment to those who have disabilities. Prosthetics(magical, mechanical, or otherwise) have always been available, and are produced with the same passion for design that the Talosians have for Fashion. There are also architectural implements that take dragons without these prosthetics into account (extra stairs for the wingless, ramps for those who choose anything with wheels and generally anything that aids in ease of access in crowded places like the Coliseum)
MUTE/DEAF/BLIND ECT
Magical handheld pearls that can translate thought into sound are available for blind or mute dragons, ( it also has properties that translate aural, visual, or written language back to the user, with options to do so mentally or via a braille-like language that can be felt on the pearl's surface. This helps the user avoid touching surfaces that may be unsanitary, thus keeping them safe.)
MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES
Mental health has always been important to the Talosians, but they don't necessarily call it that, their culture considering this health to be spiritual in nature. The Orca Subclan (Also responsible for their famous medicinal pills) provide most of the subclans' mental health needs. This is done through sessions with an Orcan priest/priestess, who then craft 'curriculums' that help suit their patients needs. These can be anything from a schedule of verbal sessions with the Orcan Priest/Priestesses, to prescribing certain medications, to magical or spiritual sessions carried out with magical poultices or artifacts, to aroma therapy. It's also good to note that this 'health of the spirit' is taught in the 14 years of mandatory courses that each Talosian chick must attend, so there's not much in terms of stigma against mental health of Talosians.
TLDR; INCLUSIVE AND FASHIONABLE
Honestly, it's pretty inclusive and semi-utopian. I like to think that dragons are a little wiser than humans, and can get to a pretty good place socially at mach-speed comparatively. They're not perfect, but meeting the needs of their citizens is such a common sense thing, they've gotten pretty darn good at it.
Thanks for the lovely ask! (i have so many of these to do, haha)

Me about to spawn some art fuckery:
“After all...why shouldn’t I play god?”
I love that Undertale Animation so much. But I can't help but chuckle knowing that he's being such a hard ass but we all know where they end up. I feel like after it goes black, there should be a "Always sunny in Philadelphia' type of title screen with the text "The Egg Eaters get their ass kicked"
I almost added something like that at the end! He's too confident for his own good XD
BONUS:

It brings up a question though, hypothetically what would happen if one of the eggs that were egg-napped by the Egg Eaters hatched right under their noses?
Well, they certainly wouldn't eat it(Well...maybe Rannoch, unless the hatchling appeals to her sense of survival, then she might recognize it as having a warriors spirit. It's really a toss-up with her. )

Matthias would jump on the chance to raise an Egg Eater from birth. His clan would be locked together by a twisted, messed up sense of "family", which is ultimately what he's going for. Hell...a Princess/Prince of the Egg Eaters would be one badass title, don't you think?
your art is eggcelent!! eggstraordinary!! eggciting!!
