Tears streaked down her face, but did not stay long, as they were flung into the night by the wind rushing by her snout. She knew she would never be able to forget the horrors she had just witnessed; her friends and family murdered in front of her, their blood soaking the royal purple carpets and golden tapestries. There had been no time to identify the attackers. The imperial assumed it had been one of the neighboring kingdoms. Her kingdom had never been on the best terms with any of them, although she could think of no reason in particular that would make one of them attack. Land, perhaps. Resources. Treasure. It made no difference to her.[/color][/font] [font="Book Antiqua"][size=4][color=#5A1C91]The imperial glanced at the startlingly bright bogsneak flying to her left. His smooth, pink scales caused him to stand out in the darkness of the night. If the attackers pursued them, his coloring would surely be the reason. The imperial knew nothing about him, other than the fact that he worked in the palace. That didn't narrow it down at all. But despite not knowing the bogsneak, they were in the exact same situation. They were likely the only survivors of their kingdom, if the brutality with which the imerial's family was murdered was anything to go by. It was in their bests interests to stick together, at least for the time being.[/color][/font] [font="Book Antiqua"][size="4"][color=#5A1C91]As the night wore on, the imperial began to feel weary. Her wingbeats became intermittent, just barely enough to keep her aloft. The bogsneak was no different; the steady beat of his wings that had been the only sound reaching her ears were becoming farther apart and inconsistent. Angling her wings, the imperial made her descent towards a clearing in the dense forest below. She didn't need to look to know that the bogsneak would follow her. [/size][/color][/font] [font="Book Antiqua"][size="4"][color=#5A1C91]Landing heavily on the tall grass, the imperial collapsed, exhaustion immediately overtaking her. She heard the bogsneak land in a similar manner somewhere near her, but she was too tired to so much as glance at him. Taking one last look at the stars before much-needed sleep stole her away, she had one thought in her mind. [i][font="Book Antiqua"][size="4"][color=#5A1C91]I will avenge my people.

I have been wanting to create my own spin on a fodderlocke for a while now, and I have finally done so. This fodderlocke is based off of [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/qnc/2806527/1]squidragon's fodderlocke[/url] with many alterations made by myself.

Our first step is to buy a cheap adult dragon off the Auction House. To add a little twist on things, it's not going to just be the cheapest, but this dragon will have some sort of requirement. Perhaps a certain gene, breed, color, or flight. I will be using [url=https://perchance.org/a-royal-fodderlocke-recruit-specifications]this generator[/url] that I have put together to determine what that requirement will be. In my case, I got constellation as my requirement. Additionally, the it will generate 3 personality traits for the monarch. The last part, regarding a job, can be ignored for the time being.[/font][/size][/color][/left] [*][left][font="Book Antiqua"][size=3][color=#5A1C91]Secondly, what's a requirement for a prosperous kingdom? The possibility for heirs, of course! Use the generator linked in the previous step to determine the requirements for the monarch's mate, otherwise known as the Royal Consort. Buy the cheapest adult dragon being sold for treasure on the Auction House that fits the requirement.In the case of multiple dragons being listed for the same price, take your pick, or use RNG to decide.[/font][/size][/color][/left] [*][left][font="Book Antiqua"][size=3][color=#5A1C91]Using the same generator as the previous two steps, generate yet another dragon.

After fleeing the palace with one of the workers, a bright pink Bogsneak named Endreor, the two of them spent the next few years amassing enough treasure to begin rebuilding the kingdom. Upon returning to their old palace, they found that a Spiral, named Zandall, had also survived the attack, and had been secretly living in the palace ever since. Working with the two of them, Queen Liana plans to build her kingdom back up to its former glory, and to exact revenge on the horrible dragons who had destroyed her family, friends, and home.[/font][/color][/size][/right] [/columns] [columns] [left][font="Book Antiqua"][size="4"][color=#5A1C91]At first, Endreor decided to stick with Queen Liana out of necessity; like her, he had nowhere to run, and with his left wing permanently damaged after the tiring flight, he figured he would need to stick with at least one other dragon. The two of them became something that might be called friends rather quickly, and soon, he had successfully gained her affections. After becoming the Royal Consort, Endreor realized just how blinded by her need for revenge the Queen was, and he saw his opportunity. Unbeknownst to her, Queen Liana is wrapped around Endreor's talon. Endreor must wait for the perfect moment to act out his malicious plot.[/font][/color][/size][/left][nextcol] [right][b][font="Book Antiqua"][size="6"][color=#5A1C91]The Royal Consort: Endreor[/font][/color][/size][/right] [url=https://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=61322444] [img]https://flightrising.com/rendern/350/613225/61322444_350.png[/img] [/url][/columns] [center][url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/cc/2210659][img]https://i.imgur.com/4DfRBUJ.png[/img][/url][/center] [b][font="Book Antiqua"][size="5"][color=#5A1C91]The Recruiter: Zandall[/font][/color][/size] [columns] [url=https://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=61342844] [img]https://flightrising.com/rendern/portraits/613429/61342844p.png[/img] [/url][nextcol] [font="Book Antiqua"][size="4"][color=#5A1C91]The third and final survivor of the kingdom massacre, Zandall had originally made a living as a merchant. After the attack, he had assumed that he was the only survivor. He spent the next few years cleaning up the palace: a very slow, tedious endeavor. Zandall was overjoyed to find that there were two other survivors. and immediately agreed to help Queen Liana and Endreor rebuild the kingdom, happily taking up a position as a recruiter. Additionally, Zandall works to educate new recruits about the culture and history of the fallen kingdom, whose image Queen Liana is working to recreate.[/font][/color][/size][/columns] [center][url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/cc/2210659][img]https://i.imgur.com/4DfRBUJ.png[/img][/url][/center] [right][b][font="Book Antiqua"][size="5"][color=#5A1C91]The Gravekeeper: Lunarayne[/font][/color][/size][/right] [columns] [font="Book Antiqua"][size="4"][color=#5A1C91]Lunarayne is a very relaxed dragon; she tends to go with the flow, and she doesn't let things get to her easily. She tends to enjoy the simpler things in life, which reflects on her job as a gravekeeper. She keeps the cemetary looking simple, yet elegant and peaceful.

Alkaid started creating pottery around age 14; he actually hated it at first, but as he grew more skilled, he found himself enjoying it more and more. After becoming an adult, he left the orphanage behind, and began his search for a permanent place to sell his pottery. He has a pet rat named Alfred, who he takes everywhere with him.

Raja left his kingdom after those five years to pursue a job that would better fit his interests. His talons are permanently stained a shade of green- not due to lack of cleanliness, but because of the chlorophyll from the plants.

Azra has a difficult time with lip-reading, and relies mostly on paper and pen to communicate with hearing dragons. He has a love for animals; currently, he has three cats, one dog, and four snakes.

However, thanks to a friend, Glitter learned to love his name. She was a golden Imperial named Luminosi, and they were friends since they were hatchlings, Later in life they became mates.

Slinking lazily out of his bed, he wandered over to it, and opened it. His eyes were met with pink scales dotted with black, and a sour expression. "Ah, Endreor!" Zandall dipped his head respectfully to the Royal Consort. "What brings you to my quarters this fine morning?" The Spiral worked on unwinding his tail out of the near-knot it had ended up in. Endreor gave Zandall a look that could only be described as annoyed. "Have you forgotten?" he questioned the confused Spiral. "Our first possible recruits are showing up today. In fact, the first one is already here. And you, Zandall, are late." Zandall gasped, finally remembering what Endreor was speaking of. "Oh, I am so sorry!" Zandall dashed over to his nightstand, nearly knocking it over, and grabbed a clipboard and a pencil. He zipped out the door, past a startled Endreor, and took flight. Landing at the courtyard in less than two minutes, Zandall took a moment to catch his breath.[/font][/color][/size] [center][url=https://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=61335328] [img]https://flightrising.com/rendern/350/613354/61335328_350.png[/img][/center] [/url] [font="Book Antiqua"][size="4"][color=#5A1C91]Waiting for Zandall was a very green Guardian, who later introduced himself as Maxuro. He was a blacksmith just out of his apprenticeship, and he was looking for work. Zandall took him to one of the repurposed shops to observe Maxuro do his work. He winced at the clanging of metal on metal, and stood far away from the fire Maxuro used to shape that very metal. Maxuro produced a wonky-looking sword, which nearly broke after the first test. Zandall made the decision to deny Maxuro's recruitment request, and sent him on his way.[/font][/color][/size] [center][url=https://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=61337672] [img]https://flightrising.com/rendern/350/613377/61337672_350.png[/img] [/url][/center] [font="Book Antiqua"][size="4"][color=#5A1C91] Next up was another green dragon, this time a Spiral, who introduced himself as Emeraldagger. [i]Perhaps if the Guardian had had 'dagger' in his name, like this Spiral, he might have been better at smithing,[/i] Zandall thought in amusement. To his surprise, however, Emeraldagger was actually looking for a job as a painter. When he brought out an example of his artwork, Zandall was a bit shocked. The painting was rather- er, how to say it, gruesome. It was a depiction of a bloody battle between two separate forces. Emeraldagger gazed lovingly at his work, obviously taking pride in it. Zandall decided it might be a bad idea to remind the Queen of the battle that had caused the need for recruitment in the first place, and so, Emeraldagger's request was denied.[/font][/color][/size] [center][url=https://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=61364068] [img]https://flightrising.com/rendern/350/613641/61364068_350.png[/img][/center] [/url] [font="Book Antiqua"][size="4"][color=#5A1C91] Once Emeraldagger was sent off, a shimmery, pastel Pearlcatcher took his place. Her tail flicked from side to side as she introduced herself; Lyng was her name. She had been playing the violin for 5 years- or was it 4? She couldn't quite remember. Lyng took out some sheet music, taking a few minutes to put it in order. She played a solemn song that was so out of tune that Zandall had to cover his ears. Zandall gave her a short round of applause as she finished her song, but easily denied her request.

Zandall had to prompt her to introduce herself; her name was Marvin. She didn't seem particularly concerned with earning herself a job. She was a hunter- and a good one at that. She took three hunks of meat out of her bag, along with countless bones and teeth from her kills. Zandall nearly gagged at the stench; they were completely rotten. He watched in horror as Marvin lifted up one of the hunks of greenish, rotting meet, and swiftly ate it, licking her lips in satisfaction. Despite her obvious skill, Zandall was too disgusted to accept her request.[/font][/color][/size] [img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/avatars/528209/52820882.png[/img] [font="Book Antiqua"][size="4"][color=#5A1C91]Zandall was supposed to meet with another Guardian, but they never showed up.

[i]Lots of Guardians looking for jobs,[/i] Zandall noted mentally. She announced that her name was Lunarayn, and that she was a gravekeeper. Lunarayn showed images of previous cemeteries she had worked at, all appearing rather peaceful, yet simple and well-kept. While there was no current need for a gravekeeper, Zandall knew there was a good chance they would be needing one eventually. He accepted her request, and Lunarayn became the official gravekeeper of the kingdom.

The three of them trekked through the decaying trees, fighting countless enemies on their way. They dodged wings made of smoke, they fought with six-limbed archers, and took down cat-like golems covered in moss. Finally, after multiple tiring hours, the team discovered a: [item=Diseased Acuity Fragment] [font="Book Antiqua"][size="4"][color=#5A1C91]Taking that as a sign to leave, they made their way out of the gloomy lands, and headed back to the palace.[/font][/color][/size] [center][b][font="Book Antiqua"][size="6"][color=#5A1C91]Daily Event[/font][/color][/size][/center] [center][b][font="Book Antiqua"][size="5"][color=#5A1C91]Romance![/font][/color][/size][/center] [center][url=https://flightrising.com/main.php?p=lair&tab=dragon&id=520246&did=61353762][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/avatars/613538/61353762.png[/img][/url][url=https://flightrising.com/main.php?p=lair&id=520246&tab=dragon&did=61342844][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/avatars/613429/61342844.png[/img][/url][/center] [font="Book Antiqua"][size="4"][color=#5A1C91]Zandall walked down the corridor, his attention entirely focused on the book currently held in his talons. He had always been an avid reader, and during the years he had spent alone in the palace, the palace library had been what had kept him sane. He was so focused on the book, however that he didn't notice a deep purple Guardian step out of her quarters. The two of them bumped into one another, Zandall's book thrown on the floor. Zandall's eyes widened as he reached for the book, desperately hoping that it had stayed on the page he was reading. He took a look at the page and breathed a sigh of relief; the page had remained. Zandall stood up, brushing himself off, and turned to look at the Guardian in front of him. "Oh, hello Lunarayne," he greeted, recognizing her easily. It had been just a few months since her recruitment, and while there was currently no work to be done as a gravekeeper, she had proved herself to be a rather skilled hunter. "I apologize; I wasn't quite looking where I was going." He laughed sheepishly. Lunarayne appeared to be studying the Spiral closely. "That's quite alright," she said, shaking the dirt from the ground off her wings. "I'm rather clumsy myself. If I had paid a little more attention to my surroundings, then we would not have bumped into one another." Lunarayne turned her attention to the book resting in Zandall's talons. "I didn't know you were much of a reader." Zandall nodded enthusiastically. "Oh yes, it's just about my favorite thing to do in my spare time," he responded. "I don't suppose you would be a fan of fiction as well, are you?" It was then Lunarayne's turn to laugh sheepishly. "Well, while I am a fan of stories," she started. "I never exactly learned how to read. Or write, for that matter. My parents never really learned either, and I had no one else to teach me." "Really?" Zandall pondered for a minute, tapping his talons absent-mindedly against the book. "I'll tell you what? Why don't I teach you? It's rather essential to know how to read and write, and I'm sure you'll love many of the books in the library. We can start today, if you like!" Lunarayne smiled at the excited Spiral. "That would be lovely," she responded. She followed him into the courtyard, and her first lesson began. They soon found themselves joking around, their laughter echoing around the otherwise empty courtyard, all the way into the night.[/font][/color][/size] [center][b][font="Book Antiqua"][size="5"][color=#5A1C91]Zandall and Lunarayne are now mates![/font][/color][/size][/center] [center][url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/cc/2210659][img]https://i.imgur.com/4DfRBUJ.png[/img][/url][/center] @donuts3132, @CleverTrick [font="Book Antiqua"][size="4"][color=#5A1C91]Goodness, this ended up being way longer than I expected! Next time, I don't think I'll write out a thing for each an every possible recruit; it just ends up taking too much time. Anyways, I hope you guys enjoy the first entry into this challenge. Each post will be equal to one year passing by in the fodderlocke's universe. Let me know if you have any suggestions~
