I've heard the theory posited that The Tidelord vanished because he left to make a new Modern Breed, I have an addition to this theory:
I wonder if the Tidelord sent the hurricane in Hear Today, Gone Tomorrow to sweep Dragons into the ocean so he could change them INTO the new breed. I also think that that Splash, the Pearlcatcher who disapeared will come back in a subsequent story as that new breed, along with other dragons who had no doubt vanished into the sea.
Why do I think this? Well, as far as I know there's only been one (in universe) instance of a new Modern Breed appearing in Sorneith, and that was the result of an alchemical reaction gone awry. All new breeds introduced otherwise are Ancient Breeds who already existed, but were simply dormant or isolated until now(Except Skydancers? If there's Lore behind how Skydancers came to be lemme know cause as far as I know they were partially created by a Kickstarter backer without any deeper Lore origins)
It seems like the Gods aren't really interested in creating beings from scratch anymore, maybe because its more work, maybe because they don't want to accidentally create something like Imperials again that have such a catastrophic potential? I imagine the latter is easier to stumble into if you're shaping magical essence into a being from the ground up.
Either way, I propose that the Tidelord has decided he wants to create another breed, but has decided instead of working from the ground up he's just going to use pre existing dragons as a starting point.
That's just my own little theory, Idk if it has any legs, though the anniversary is coming up so who knows?

initially i thought tidelord disappeared to maybe bring back a new ancient for the water flight, but i think i like this theory a little more.
the bogsneaks are the most recent modern breed we got, and they came out in 2016. idk if it'd be like staff to do this, but if i were them i'd want to mix it up a little, and a new modern breed would definitely shake things up.
not to mention, tidelord has been gone since about late 2018/early 2019 (idk if that's right, i'm terrible with time KJHGJLKH) so i THINK (i'm not an artist myself) that would give the artists a little more time to work on fitting all the existing apparel to the new breed, especially if it's been in the works even BEFORE tidelord peaced out.
and, just as a footnote, i think it'd be a very god-like thing for a deity to take his current creations/children and mold them into something new.
i definitely think your theory has some legs!
btw when is the anniversary djkhgk

a while back staff confirmed that they were making progress on the new modern, and that a lot of the apparel had be drawn for it. That was some time ago, so I hope they’re close to releasing it!
Also I’m not in water flight but PLEASE BRING BACK TIDELORD!!! No milk is worth such a long trip!!

I'm pretty sure Bounty of the Elements happened in March 2018! (could be wrong, feel free to correct me) [i][size=2]Edit: [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/ann/2392505#post_2392505]Yep![/url] Stories were released before the announcement post though, so it's likely that it was early March. It's been a while and I don't remember all the details.[/size][/i]
So Tidelord's been gone for over 3 years now. Maybe he had a lot of failed attempts at this? It would still be hard work to make a brand new breed, even if you're not doing it from scratch.

Whatever the reason, hopefully the devs have something big planned.
