Flight Rising Discussion

So, been thinking about it in the shower. What if a dragon is born right between borders of two flights, will it be born with both elements? Will it be born with one of them? Will it be born elementless if that's possible? What if an egg is somehow born in the middle of the ocean away from all the lands, will it be born elementless? Will it even hatch? Can a dragon have Heterochromia but instead of their eyes being different colors its their eye types? [img]https://i.kym-cdn.com/entries/icons/original/000/030/338/New.jpg[/img]

There has been no canon recognition of dragons with more than one element. I do not think they can exist personally. Elements are placed upon a dragons egg determined by the presence of the nearest god, not a matter of elemental terrain(Coatl encyclopedia page). It is possible to lay an egg outside of an elemental gods range, but eggs without element will not hatch.

Which as the god of water, of course he could make that happen. As for one god in another's territory, well Windsinger might have a lot of kids off all around the world. [emoji=guardian laughing size=1] I don't think he was actually in Plague that whole time that he was 'missing', the admins just stopped really using the gods accounts so it seemed like that.

According to lore (will get links later)

1. A dragon can use magic outside its own element, but the second element is very very very weak, and it cannot use its 'opposite' element.

2. A dragon cannot be born 'without' an element. Basically it sounds like the eggs would go 'dormant' until they are back within the influence of a deity, and then they would be incubated like normal and hatch.

3. Not a clue. They haven't really said anything about heterochromia, but since you can't have a dragon be 'dual element' according to the (limited) lore we have, I would assume that it would work more like different eye variants than different elements.

As for tidelord being gone, I see the elemental lands not so much as 'the deity is here, thus there is magic' but more 'the deity set up residence here for millennia, and the magic soaked into the surrounding lands'. Thus, while if the tidelord remains gone, water might be in trouble, it will be a while before the elemental magic that he provided for millennia dissipates.


Edit: Random links, about elemental magic and eyes see below and above:

1. Elemental absorption

With the Tidelord business… it’s implied that if he had died that Water flight dragons would lose their magic (and many dragons would then drown), but because that has not happened that that must mean he’s still alive somewhere. It’s unclear if this is actually something that would happen or if it’s just a belief of the water prophets. This is from the [url= https://flightrising.com/main.php?p=wiki&article=103]Mixed Elements[/url] story. As for heterochromia… when they teased the next breed staff clarified that it probably wouldn’t happen and that they weren’t planning multi-element dragons at this time; because many folks felt the silhouette has the potential to be multi-headed and therefore many eye theories proliferated. [quote name="Undel" date="2021-07-30 13:00:11" ] Regarding "dual element" dragons: It has never been documented that gods work together to produce new dragons... and I can safely say from a developer's standpoint that we wouldn't consider such a thing (if at all) unless every element had two breeds to its name.

[/quote] [/quote] I'm pretty sure that this refers to the dragon's originating [i]ancestral[/i] flight, not heterochromia. Like, Imperials and Pearlcatchers are from Light, Nocs and Veils are from Shadow, Tuns and Gaos are from Ice, etc. This isn't an eye-color thing (any given dragon of these breeds can be from any flight) that they're asking about- it's a "Can we have an ancient who was made with both Shadow and Light energies?" [s]that being the combo I'd really like to see[/s]. (Honestly, not a bad thing, since it allays fears of Nature and Plague having to share)

Lol im sorry, this just came to my mind.
