Ignatius' Clan

LAIR REVAMP INC

Formed from the forgotten youth of the Emberglow's constant strife against the beastclans, Ignatius is a group of dragons just trying to survive in the world. While made up almost entirely of well-trained warriors under the guidance of Maedoc, the clan is looking to carve a new foothold in life by way of metal and gem work. This endeavor is spear-headed by Maedoc's mate and queen, Lagertha. Together, they hope to supply dragons across Sornieth with both arms and decoration, one to fight the clans and reduce the number of orphans, and the other to impress each other in the few times allowed for peace.

This is Voltspire...

The Voltspire Factory sits perched atop one of the great mesas of the Lightning Farm, at the very heart of the Shifting Expanse. Hundreds of dragons call the spire home and themselves clan, working tirelessly in the factory to create coppercoil and black iron creepers, as well as other fantastic works of engineering ingenuity. The creepers are sent to clans all over Sornieth to serve any number of positions within a clan structure. From cleaner bots to patrolling sentries, Voltspire has the creeper technology down to a science. With one of the highest efficiency rates in the Shifting Expanse, the clan rakes in profits claw over fist, putting them eternally back into the factory in the eternal search for increased productivity.

Normally ruled by a Tempest Queen and her Squall, recent losses have seen the factory falling under new management. Squall Xanatos, son of the late Tempest Queen Nazcal and Squall Amphere, has taken the factory under his wing, pushing its workers into a frenzy of mass production in an effort to increase its profit margins tenfold. The result is to pull the clan away from its shamanistic roots; storms are for building, not for dancing. Many in the clan find this increase in their workload to be cruel and painfully demanding, the suppression of their beliefs offensive, but as dissenters begin to vanish, rebellion falls into fearful silence.

The dragon with the loudest voice against these new reforms is Tinker Kikita, princess in her own right and promised to Xanatos from an early age.Though the young Squall has tried in vain to bend his would-be queen to his will, Kikita’s open rebellion against Xanatos’ soulless obsession of profit over dragon well-being has turned her into a leader of her people, and as such, the Squall has had to lock her away to keep her rallying cry silent.

As demands increase and uncooperative clan members begin to disappear, things start spiraling out of control as an unseen enemy begins plaguing the spire and dragons with the soulless eyes of machines start roaming the corridors.
