Yesssss More Of This

yesssss more of this

clan concept: a shadow clan made of any sort of dragon you can imagine, all tending to a mushroom farm. they’re so in tune with their crops that they universally sprout little clusters of mushrooms on themselves, too. it isn’t revealed to visitors that the dragons themselves have lost themselves long ago, walking hosts for the cordyceps that their bodies now tend to. 

Your art and lore give me life and fuels my soul

This compliment fuels my soul, oh my goodness! You’ve gone and made me all giddy! 

9 and 10 for the lore questions?

Let’s see. Question 9/10- [Who is your clan leader? Why are they the leader? Have there been any leadership changes?][why were they chosen?]

Note-I technically have two clans. The Kingdom of Talosians, and the much smaller band of Egg-Eaters(who are currently imprisoned in the Talosian’s Onyx Prison) 

For the Talosians, that would be Lord Talos. Originally he’s from the Ice Flight, but he’s so old that nobody really knows what his original life was like. Centuries ago he led a small band of loyal knights and, during their travels, happened upon the Sunbeam Ruins. Upon experiencing the Light Flight’s dragons, he fell in love with both their philosophical drive and their pursuit of knowledge. Right then and there he decided to make a home for him and his knights. Talos used his strength to carve out a space down and directly into the top of a small mountain. This would become a small settlement which, protected by the mountain walls and fed by the surrounding forests,  would later  grow into a great kingdom. With the help of many of his advisors, he helped create a community that absolutely thrived(to the point of being a little spoiled with wealth!) He’s offered to step down several times, but each time was asked to stay at the insistence of many a Talosian citizens. He is very beloved amongst his people.

Feel free to ask about the egg eaters if you want to know more about those guys. I love responding to asks like these 

SKKKRAAAAAAAAAWWW!!!

Do you think wildclaws emote like cockatoos? Cause I do and I think that’s adorable and hilarious. Like imagine a sleek looking wildclaw minding its own business. Then they see something like a coat hanger on the floor and they flip out and do something like this gif. Also they will scream and they scream really loud.

Give him oranges, people, he NEEDS citrus! While wildclaws might not eat fruit, I think they’d enjoy eating some recreationally rather than for nutrition. Can’t have too many fruits and veggies though, or they’ll get sick.

...Lucky...

FR questions 12, 21, 25, 33, 38, and 41? Also your FR art is really making me want to put out some sketches I've done with my dragons : D

Ah, time to consult a few clan historians~

12. The Talosian Kingdom is very, very isolated, and thus has little interaction with most beast clans(and even neighboring dragon clans). What they lack in variety they make up for in their strong relations with a neighboring Harpy flock, which they trade both products and information with quite often. Mismallo, an informant, is very fond of harpies and feels more of a connection when talking and listening to their stories. Harpy feathers, claws, eggshells, and spun cloth are popular, in-demand raw materials for the average crafty Talos citizen.

21. My clan’s healers are mainly Orca Subclan dragons, their leader, Orkrist,  being renowned for her contributions to their field of medicine. She’s currently working closely with sorcerers to figure out more about magical maladies.

25. Cooks? Everyone cooks! It’s not a question on who cooks, but who hunts the game, gathers the plants, dries the herbs, and picks the fruit. These tasks have been delegated to the Cerulean subclan as payment for inflicting their sister subclans with a harrowing ancestral curse. This policy ends after the third generation, and grows more lenient as the curse dies out. As for distribution, food can be bought directly from these subclans OR can be bought from a few local merchants, such as Nulii.{ His bio }has an entire food shop with items separated by the ranks of the hunters who gathered them!

33. Do they have any beastclan members? No. If one would want to move in, they would be dubbed ‘Honorary Dragon’, and probably be fawned over for being fashionably new, exciting, or just plain cool. They’d have their life cut out for them, honestly!

38. There is an entire judicial system in place for a kingdom as large as it is. Subclans do control their own internal laws, but the Elite Council makes decisions for law that binds all subclans. Think state rights vs federal, if that makes sense. If minor laws are broken, usually something along the line of years worth of community service, fines, and re-education on codes of ethics are used to help rehabilitate and discourage the behavior. There aren’t a whole lot of crimes committed anyways, but for the really rare, major ones, there resides an Onyx prison...

41. Talosians are not bias towards breeds of dragons, but they both LOOOVE the light flight and absolutely ABHOR the plague flight(sorry plague flight fans, ik you guys are the bad guys so much, I swear I actually really love plague lore!) This is due to two separate incidents including the plague flight. These are:

One, the aforementioned ancestral curse cast by a plague spirit. This resulted in the traumatic deaths of countless loved ones and a rather decisive policy of semi-servitude lasting over the span of three generations.

and Two, a kidnapping incident involving Talosian hatchlings. They were unfortunately eaten and turned into pelts by a band of dragons who were, coincidentally, plague flight. 

This has left about 400 years of bad taste in their mouths for plague flight dragons, but then again, they are rather isolated from seeing dragons from any flight too often. They really should get out more.

You totally should post some dragon sketches, that would be awesome ^^ if it’s digital just make sure to save! This...this happens alot...the risk is too great to bear another loss to this:

~Thanks for these tasty tasty lore questions~
