━━━━━◇━━━━━

Shal'anir is a great tree hidden within the Tangled Wood, comparable in size to the great Behemoth and possessing a strange level of sentience of her own. The Order of Shal'anir is something of a cycle; dozens of clans all having once lived within her sacred halls, each following the next as one chapter of Shal'anir's life ended and another began. She seems to have an ultimate goal, although what that ultimate goal is is unknown, and the great tree has been known to turn upon her old denizens in a ritualistic 'purge' that sees the complete destruction of one order as to truly allow for another new one to begin.

Her empress is Vesper, a pale pearlcatcher whose natural skill over shadow magic sees Shal'anir perpetually shrouded from view and almost impossible to get to without being purposefully allowed entry. Beside Vesper stand her two advisors, who once belonged to the old order of Shal'anir and are the only survivors of the previous cycle, as well as her paragons. These paragons are chosen specifically by Shal'anir herself and are under the direct order of the empress. They serve both as the embodiment of her iron will outside of the Tangled Wood, as well as her primary defenders in the event of an attack. The title of paragon of the highest honour, and those who are blessed with such are only the finest warriors and intellectuals that Shal'anir has to offer. To come against one would mean certain death.

While once Shal'anir's empress may have driven them more towards war, the age of Vesper sees a much more peaceful approach that focuses on rebuilding what was lost during the purge and gaining a stable foothold on the Tangled Wood. Warriors and hunters are honourable, while the more intellectual dragons focus on expanding their knowledge of their home that is lost deep within her boughs. Alliances are much more worthwhile than enemies, but, should one double-cross Shal'anir, her children are more than willing to make both.

About me
Just a small lore clan. Constantly torn between aesthetics but the majority of my dragons are purple so I guess this is where it's at. Feel free to message me about lore, I love that sort of stuff, and am always happy to have new allies/enemies - whichever works.

Prompts:
- The Shadowbinder angry at the interference of another god in her lands
- Voiceless dragon that uses the voice of the last dragon it spoke to
- Dragon who reacts horribly to their own element
- Blind dragon who uses sound (in the form of low frequency hums) to locate others
- Enchanter dragon
- Advisor with a band around his muzzle so that he may never speak - either through an oath or through previous disloyalty

━━━ APOTHEOS ━━━━━━━━━━

The old bones that whisper in the warmth of the rising sun's rays are covered in moss and remain cool from the morning dew, inviting you to stop and rest a while. Here, the air is quiet, filled only with the distant pattering of rain as it encroaches upon the misty horizon, and, although you appear to be alone, there is a voice upon the northbound wind that speaks in tones of unwavering love and adoration.

"Welcome to the Imperium, Stranger. Travel well, and travel safe."
