Lucian

Lucian is a very serious and confident leader. He will listen to what all his clan mates have to say before making any decisions that would affect the whole clan. His first mate Flare had helped him lead the clan to success but after having a few clutches she felt she was destined to serve the GladeKeeper directly so with many good-byes she went on her way. Lucian was devastated of course he wanted to go with her, but he had a duty to lead his clan. He didn't take another mate for a very long time, devoting all his energy to his clan. Then a another Nocturne came into the clan. She was Night Warrior the second one to ever join the clan. Her charm and drive quickly won Lucian's heart. They were soon a pair, Lucian was happier then ever. Midnight took the role of second in command and together they have lead the clan to prosper.

Many dragons are surprised to learn that TheTigersDen is lead by an ice born dragon. Considering how Ice and Natures territories are as far apart as you can get, then take into consideration how different the territories are. The question of how it came to be has become a very common one as the clan has become more prominent. Lucian was in a small clan on the edge of the Frigid Floes. The clan had found his egg half buried in the snow during a routine perimeter patrol. They raised him as one of their own, teaching him how to live in the harsh conditions. As he grow in age and size his clan had started assigning Lucian to patrols. This is when he first started becoming curious of the outside world. His clan was stationed at the edge of the Frigid Floes to patrol against any invasion from Arcane territory. No invasion ever came of course, the most action Lucian ever sow was when a group of bandits had ambushed them while going their regular routes. Lucian asked his clan mates if they knew anything about the other territories but none of them had ever left the territory. He tried to forget about learning about the other elements and devote himself to his clan but he hated the constant patrols and despite being a ice dragon he hated the constant frigid cold. He apparently had been born without the extra layer of fat that gave most ice dragons their resistance from the cold. His made Lucian useless for any excursions that involved water as if he had ever gotten wet cupped with the cold he would have surly died. After a few months of frozen toes and brutal blizzards Lucien had, had enough. He gathered his belongings and started heading towards the main land.



The clans beginnings

Once Lucian was confident that he could fend for himself he packed a satchel with his favorite foods and set out. His goal was to start his own clan. Leaving the Frigid Floes far behind he flew to the North East, where the main land was located. The first land he set his eye on was the Zephyr Steppes of wind territory. He was astonished to find many dragons relaxing on the peaceful plain, back in the Frigid Floes dragons would only be outside out of necessity. Being to cold and bitter to be out for to long, but here dragons could easily relax with a soft breeze. He landed lightly on the soft green grass. The grass tickled his paws, it was a new sensation for him for grass never grows in Ice territory. He looked around searching for any lone dragons that might be interested in being the first to join his clan. Many of the dragons on the plain however clearly were apart of a clan. Some small groups of 3 to 5 dragons were here and there across the plain. While some larger clans having 20 members strong were clearly visible relaxing and chatting among themselves. There was hope though, in between each clan was plenty of space where dragons without clans were sprawled out on the grass, or flying in the air. Taking a deep breath Lucian gathered his nerves, ignored the uncomfortable feeling of grass between his claws and made his way across the plain in hopes of recruiting his first members.

Lucian sat down heavily still only a one member clan and the day was turning to night. It seemed no dragon wanted to join him to start a clan no matter how hard he tried to convince them. They ether didn't believe having such a young dragon as their leader would be a good idea or believed living solo is the best life. Ether way Lucian's hopes damped. As he brewed on what he could have done better he scanned the grassy field as the last rays of light start to vanish and stars start to appear in the sky above. His eye's landed on a pair a down to his right, a WildClaw and a SkyDancer. Seemed odd they were settling up camp for the night. "They must not have a clan of their own" Lucian thought to himself. "Maybe..." But he quickly remembered his day full of failure. What could he say to this pair that would convince them to join him that he didn't already say to others? "Maybe not be so straight forward about it? Start of getting to know them first then see if they would like to join me," Getting up he shook himself to rid of any nervousness, then slowly made his way over to the pair. As he approached he put on the best smile he could muster and called out "Hey, mind if I join you?" Both dragons looked and him scanning him from head to tail. Deeming him as not a threat they let him approach peacefully. Now that he was closer he could make out their colors,markings, and apparel. The Wildclaw was a Ivory colored with tiger markings and white wings. He wore some dented armor, a scarf and a hat to top it off. His companion was a ice colored Skydancer with clown markings and shimmering forest colored wings. He wore a Copper Steampunk set and a Emerald Aviator Satchel. The skydancer was the first of the pair to speak."What brings you to wind territory ice dragon?" Lucian hesitated for a moment. He wasn't used to being referred to as "ice dragon" though it was very clear which flight he belong to with one look at his eyes. "Oh I ah, got sick of the cold and constant snow.. and stuff" He wasn't lying but he wasn't telling the whole truth ether. Weather the pair realized this or not they didn't let on, just nodding. "What about you two? What brings a.." He studied their eyes "Wind dragon and a lightning dragon to the Zephyr Steppes?" He asked, it was only fair to refer to their flights like they did to his right? Or should he not have asked that? Lucian started to doubt his own words wishing he had thought twice before speaking. The pair sat quietly exchanging a glace, as if deciding which one was gonna speak. "Well before we get into that some introduction or in order I believe. My names GreenWings for an obvious reason" He said shaking out his feathery wings. "And my comrade her is Ace" He added flicking his tail to point at the Wildclaw. Lucian looked at Ace but he didn't much attention to him seeming more interested in stocking the fire with some wood. "And your name?" GreenWings asked after a moment. Lucian dragged his attetion of the Ace and replied "The names Lucian"


GreenWings to be the more social of the pair, Ace was much more reserved. Lucian explained he had just left his birth clan on a mission to form his own clan. Greenwings listened intently, then explained how he and Ace were traveling around Sornieth in search of a peaceful place to call home.
"We're both looking for the same thing, would you two be interested in being the first members of my clan? Then we could search for a lair together."
"Well um.. I would have to speak with Ace" GreenWings replied glancing at his companion. Ace
