Flight Rising Discussion

Amid the tangles of the Fishspine Reef lies an unusual scene: part massive archaeological dig, part somber Saturnalia celebration. While Water Flight's expedition to the Outer Ocean lifted the spirits of the Tidelord's abandoned children, it uncovered nothing of his whereabouts, and the Sea soon fell back into a marked gloom. It was only by coincidence that, right before the next year's Wavecrest, an astonishing discovery was made: an ancient city perched next to the Leviathan Trench, its name lost to the time and currents. Now, this city has become a crossroads for dragons of all sorts-- intrepid adventurers plunge the ruins in search for treasure, while archaeologists pull their scales out at the loss of valuable data; Tidelord-hunters scrape through the sand for any sign of their lost deity, while mourners bemoan their disrespect; locals marvel at the mess this all is, while tourists... do the same. The Wavecrest Saturnalia has never been quite like this. At least there's not leviathans in these ruins, right? Right?

(Dang you, Tidelord.) As a result, they're looking for helping hands to dig, carry, and fend off leviathans-- possibly fend off leviathans-- and they'll offer raffle tickets in exchange.[/size][/center] [center][url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/fd4/2847866/1#post_2847866][img]https://i.ibb.co/2gwxWHk/if-raffle.png[/img][/url] [center][item=unhatched water egg][skin=16984][item=water sprite][item=breed change: wildclaw][item=vial of scattersight][/center] [color=#b97f4f][i]Support Water's Dominance push and win cool prizes!

(Well... most years. The lack of the Tidelord has made things very soggy.) Like Levitos, the ancient city appears to have been a hub for diviners and soothsayers of all sorts, and visitors have flocked to ply their trades.

An Imperial and her construct bodyguard, for instance, dwell in the armory, outfitting trainees with magical camouflage. ..."Armory?" "Trainees?" "Camouflage?" This may make it sound like the Water flight is actually recruiting dragons to, once again, thwart the leviathan menace, but the Water Flight PR Department would like to assure that no leviathans have been discovered. Only a lot of runes and sigils warning of them.
