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)

IF there was a different way of getting the Raw Magic without eating eggs(or hurting other dragons) who would go for it and who would just keep eating eggs?

Who Would Stay:

Matthias. He would do everything in his power to keep the others by his side...

Rannoch. Not only does she have that oath of loyalty to Matthias, but she also enjoys the thrill and risk of battle. Opponents fight with more ferocity when their most precious possession is on the line. The spoils of these battles are always sweeter.

Khoga. She wouldn't leave until her current studies were finished. This new source of Raw Magic would be an invaluable source of information, though! If it could be collected, she would begin a whole new set of experiments, probably making life a little busier for the Egg Gang.

Who Would Leave:

Okira. The only obstacle here would be gaining enough independence to pull away from the group. He'd need to dig deep to find the courage to stand up to Matthias!

On the Fence:

Evuviate "Via". So far, Egg Eating has kept her scale-condition at bay. She would most likely stay by Khoga's side, seeing as Khoga is the one in charge of developing/testing Via's medicines(which are developed from Dragon Eggs). Fear of her illness is her main character motive, so she's going to go with whatever option makes her feel more secure.

Who eats the eggs for the flavor?

"Heh...what a fun word. F-la v or."

"Me? I can't help but feel chills at the different textures. You can't imagine how satisfying prying open a Nature Egg's shell is. And Flame Eggs? Well, they have the most tender flesh when you hard-boil them! Hah! It makes such a HUGE deviled egg! It's worth the trouble of getting Rannoch or Okira to flash freeze one so it's cold enough to boil properly."

"...Maybe it's time for a trip to the Ashfall Wastes. "- Matthias

Has anyone ever opened an egg and found a hatchling inside? If so what happened? If not what would they do?

Finally got around to updating the Egg Eaters’ bios! 

~Now they have their cool new modern look~
