i. ⸻ a cautionary tale

When the dawn first stretched her dew-laden wings, there was no such thing as the night. There existed only light as far as the eye could behold. Searing. Merciless. Blinding. None could escape the Ligthweaver's all-seeing gaze.

The zealots of the mausoleum-city would have you, young hatchling, believe this was a time of peace and prosperity for dragonkind.

Yet we, the Shadowbinder's brood know better. It was the shade cast by our moonless Mother's shadow that offered solace from the tyranny of the day. In the night there is sanctuary. In the dark, peace. We flourish in the forgotten, quiet places of the world. We thrive where they would have us die.

Do not forget that the night protects you. Take strength in the lightless path laid before you. And remember: pay no heed to the garish sun, for her gleaming brilliance is false and hot as breath-fire.

ii. ⸻ factions

CLAN ANATHEMA. Located in the Thorndark Altar of the Tangled Wood, is a clan led by Matriarch Chimeron. Characterized by their cunning and resourcefulness, the crafty dragons of the clan have carved a home for themselves in the terrifying dark.

While things have never been well between Anathema and any Light clans, the unholy birth of a new Emperor has set tensions with the nearby priests at an all time-high.

KEEPERS OF THE UNDYING LIGHT. The clergy keeps vigil and performs funerary rites for various Light clans from their perch in the Hewn City. They arrange final rites for any and all of the Lightweaver's children, but especially Imperials. This is meant to prevent catastrophes such as the one that is currently taking place...

Perhaps it was a mere oversight. Perhaps, one of the priests did not report back in when they should have and the Keepers are becoming too lax in their duties. Or maybe, even worse, for some reason it was allowed to happen...?

ORDER OF THE MOON. Dragons of any creed and flight that seek the secrets of magic are welcome here. Sorcerers of the Order give up allegiance to their ancestral gods in pursuit of the secrets of the universe instead. Considered wildly heretical by both the Clan and the Keepers, the Order is less of a neutral party and more of an intellectual gathering of pariahs.

The Order does not much mind being left to their solitude. However, their interest has also been recently piqued by Luminax and they wish to learn all they can about the undead horror.

Thanks for buying Casta! I've had her for quite awhile and decided to see about sending her along to somebody else, since I've hardly done anything with her! If you're interested in collecting familiars, I run a free familiar bank in the Water Sales forum!
