The Original Knights Of Talos-Introduction

The Original Knights of Talos-Introduction

The city of Talos was not founded by one dragon, but six.

Aurum, Ivory, Obsidian, Orca, and Cerulean. These are the five subclans that live under the rule of Lord Talos. Founded by the knights he called his brethren, these subclans represent the values of their father/mother knights, and have enshrined these values in their own unique customs and cultures. Though these original Knights are long gone, their history remains written, immortalized within the archives of their respective clans.

SolAurii, Knight of Wisdom

Danegaryn Knight of Silence

Mihouyo, Knight of Tricks

Ourobarran the Reaper Knight

Archanis, the Knight of The Hunt

I’m obsessed with her colors! KoiKoi’s profession as a spice merchant is beginning to take hold in the Talosian Markets, much to her glee! Her blends are experimental, adding an otherworldly flare to cuisine.

 Much of the attention comes from her side business procuring and producing unique patters onto Koi fish. Elegant black latice on pure white, ghostly fins, metallic gold and silver key, and fiery calico patterns are her most popular types of Koi to sell.

It’s a bit of an inside joke that it’s her hobby keeping her career afloat and not the other way around!

Aeron - he/him, Clan Silverwind (Exalter)

“To be exalted to the gods is a great honor, so why do you continue to look upon me with scorn? Close your doors as I walk past, avert your eyes and pretend you cannot see me?” (more under cut)

Among the five Knights, it was Danni who possessed the sharpest mind. A calm, reserved, and silent drake, Danni spent much of his youth reading extensively on anything and everything he could get his claws on. Yet, due to his warrior’s lineage he was often forced into swordsmanship training by his clan and berated for his bookish habits. “Books are for philosophers! The only thing a warrior should be reading is the movements of their enemies!” they would shout. Danni had had enough! It was high time the drake left, and so he did. Taking his blade for protection and a satchel filled with his favorite titles, he set off in search of his own path. One where his mind could be just as cutting as his blade.

An Arcane egg is sure to make a curious dish! 

Stargazer’s Wish is a traditional sweet and tart cake meant to help open the mind when one is in a stump! While the superberries do this in the traditional dish, adding an Arcane egg furthers the effect, and will induce a dream-like state in those who consume it. In this state, whatever problem ails the mind can be quickly solved, and new pathways in the brain are more easily made, all in the span of half an hour. Those who consume it feel as if time has slowed down and waited patiently for them as they ponder solutions to their problems. Perfect for scientists who need answers immediately.

So the deities are the bad guys.

This is the only way I’ve really been able to rationalize Flight Rising’s canon and I know it’s not a new conclusion, but I want to talk about it some.

The deities are the bad guys. They’re the villains. Not because they fight the shade but because they are written to be incredibly selfish. They have this incompetence to them that borders on childish and some kind of inability to consider the wants or needs of anyone around them.

There’s an alternate timeline somewhere in which they emerged from slumber and adopted the life that was already there. There was an entire world full of people they ignored and consequently destroyed in favor of making dragons for themselves.

And not even those dragons are exempt from this, railroaded into a single purpose and pushed into combat with both each other and the remnants of the world they replaced.

Windsinger can mess around with the jet streams without once thinking of the consequences. Icewarden seems to have made the Gaolers without the ability to tell him ‘no’ which is phenomenal. Gladekeeper and Plaguebringer endlessly bicker with each other on a grand scale and cause shortage of destruction.

They are sentient concentrations of magical power who learned far too late that they’re not the only living things on the planet. I suppose one could take the current age as an opportunity… for their draconic children to either teach them empathy, or rise above them.
