wyrdaMalthinae's Clan

Your adventures have taken you high and far up the layers of the Reedcleft Ascent. The sun shines brightly and a playful breeze ripples around you on its own journey upwards. The view from up here is breathtaking, but you're wiping away sweat, and your legs are starting to fatigue you. You reach a thickly forested cliff jutting adjacent to a waterfall and decide to take a rest under the cool shade of the leaves. Wait...there's a path, just barely visible, vanishing into the trees and undergrowth. Could it lead to a dragon clan's lair?

The Wyrda clan is a mixed species, mixed flight clan, all close as family. Their recent move from the Viridian Labyrinth to the Windswept Plateau was prompted by an insidious and lethal disease, one which reduced the clan's strength from over 50 strong to what you see today. For fear of new hatchlings catching any lingering illness, out of deep grief living amongst the ghosts of their clanmates, and from anger that the Gladekeeper's payment for those honorably exalted was to destroy their lives, the clan unanimously decided to make the long journey to the domain of the Windsinger. Now that they're here, most are pleased with the change from dark, rank jungle to sweet-smelling wind and good feeling, though some have regrets about leaving the bodies of their loved ones behind.

The clan's lair itself is surrounded in a veritable wall of vegetation, gaps between the natural growth filled in with bamboo reeds and vining plants. The Nature dragons sadly joke that it makes them feel more at home. In the middle it is a small meadow, a several large boulders guarding dragon-made dwellings below. There is an air of wary relaxation, and one can hear hatchlings playing, just out of sight.
