Aristatide's Clan

Messaging Me/Sales: I'm always happy to discuss the sale of any dragon without a familiar, or to negotiate on price for one already on-sale. If I've listed for Treasure I'll always happily take Gems at current exchange rate instead of Treasure, although it's very rare I'll take Treasure for a Gems listing, although if you're especially keen go ahead and ask. There's a slender chance I'll do item trades if it's an item I'm after.

I do not trade dragons for dragons. PMs offering to trade AH dragons for other dragons will be ignored.

I will do short-term holds for dragons (no longer than a week; may be shorter if I have space issues), and may do payment plans on expensive (150K+) items or dragons, varying in length on the price.

I also have a physical condition that sometimes greatly affects my focus; if you've ever been communicating with me and suddenly it was like I fell off the face of the planet, that's why. My apologies.

Exalting: My own kids are all raised with the belief it's an honor to be sent to fight on behalf of a deity, so Exalt without guilt any dragon you purchase from me! Only make the assumption that I do the same with dragons I purchase off of others. If you're particularly interested in my not Exalting a kid and think I might, feel free to contact me and I'll sell you the dragon back.

Friending: If we've interacted at all, I'm amenable to friend requests; I will, however, turn down all requests "out of the blue". Even if you just leave a comment on my profile you're more likely to get a yes.





List is largely expensive now, I'm afraid:


Alabaster Filigree (Anything Except Helmet)
Blushing Pink Roses
Diamond Rings
Gem Scrolls (Any, or see my Projects)
Googly Confusion
Morganite Flourish Jewelry (Any Except Belt or Tailclasp)
Prismatic Silk (Anything)
Rainbow Flair Scarf
River Royalist Tail Rings
River Royalist Cuffs
Ruby Rings
Simple Harp
Soft Pink Silks (Any but Veil)
Vista: Lantern Forest
Vista: Solar



And generally any non-Coli familiar I don't have; when given the Coli ones they inevitably drop within a week and make me sigh.

I also adore opening chests, even Rusty Chests, and love opening Eggs, and check out my Collected Items down-page for more things I like to get (tap here and hit your "End" key to get there swiftly).

And lastly, I'm always pleased when people send plants to azarias (102593). I cannot keep this woman in vegetables because of her massive, massive Tundra addiction.






While most larger Clans within the Realm of Light make their homes within the ruins surrounding the Beacon of the Radiant Eye, if you know where to look you can find ancient, weathered steps carved from the cliff face and sheathed in salt-stained marble, leading down to vast cave systems carved beneath the tower above, gleaming shafts of light cut through the stone to illuminate the equally illustrious, but less well-known, ruins within.

In one such cave system you find the Clan that calls itself Blood and Sunshine. Indeed, when standing within its common areas, you might be hard-pressed to realize you're in a cave at all, for the tapestries, weavings, and drapes that cover so many of the surfaces, with arrangements of potted plants wherever the sunbeams regularly fall, some resting on red-gold trunks that look salvaged from the waves below. Everything sparkles, and you soon realize this is not just due to the glitter, but also from small cages containing blinking insects, or glowing almonds strung into garlands. The colors are saturated, reds and golds predominant, but with startling pops of vivid blue and purple, or even splashes of strong pink. Even some of the Clan's more austerely colored members, you note, have taken part, donning a garnet belt or a sky blue silk.

"We started out in Fire," Clan Matriarch Nurielle explains, surveying her home with satisfaction. "And it's a great place, we'll always have ties there, but I don't know if you know this," she goes on, dropping her voice, "but fabric has this little tendency to burn."

You allow how that may be the case.

"Light's a pretty solid meeting of all our interests," Nurielle goes on. "Good for the plants, doesn't set valuables on fire, looks good on the gemstones, great view." She looks over the edge of the cliff to the waves below and adds, "And easy access to seafood. You would not believe what a bunch of Coatls and Ridgebacks can go through, some days."

Individual dragons who have determined their long-term commitment to the Clan have carved out their own spaces, decorated with the items of their own choosing. More transient dragons, or ones who have not yet fully found their place, occupy more general spaces, decorated according to the general Clan aesthetics. One vast space features shrines on either end containing deity dolls and statues, all, Nurielle says, gathered by the Clan themselves. In this room warriors are feasted before they go off to join the Lightbringer's battles, or before deciding to seek their fortunes out in the world--whether as part of another Clan, or joining in the battles on another's behalf. "We honor the fight," Nurielle says, the fierceness of her Fire origin shining through. "Plus, we really like a good party."

Nurielle invites you to stay and look around. She especially directs your attention towards a few common spaces where dragons lounge without familiars; those, she says, could be interested in seeking a new Clan, if you like their looks and make a compelling offer. "But don't be surprised if you don't get a reply at all, or it takes a while," she adds with another sigh. "We're a distractable bunch, sometimes."
