A World of Unity

An AU for the Wings of Fire series set over 250 years after the events of canon...

A WAR WILL RAGE, LEAVING NOTHING BUT FIRE...

Five thousand two hundred and fifty years have passed since the fires of the Scorching blazed across Pyrrhia. Wars were fought, peace was won, and all was well. Perhaps the peace came when the last of the scavengers had gone into hiding, no longer daring to steal dragon eggs. Perhaps peace came when Darkstalker was trapped. Perhaps peace came when the SandWing war ended, or the Lost Continent returned, or when the first symbols of unity emerged. Perhaps peace never came.

This is a sideblog for my Wings of Fire AU, A World of Unity! This AU, as well as this blog, is run by @tempest-midnight.

What is A World of Unity?

A World of Unity is an AU wherein over two hundred and fifty years after the events of the canon Wings of Fire series, as Pyrrhia and Pantala are still adjusting to a new, more connected life, a war breaks out between all of the tribes, all over a simple question. Should hybrids be allowed to continue to exist, or are they a danger to the very way of life the tribes have had for over five thousand years?

Content

Over the course of however-long-this-takes, I will be posting information about various things. The tribes (some of the information is the same as canon, but there's some new stuff as well...), the characters, etc. This will all be balanced with artwork, or so I hope.

While I work on figuring out how I want to be writing the main story, I will occasionally post short stories about this AU.

If you would like to submit asks regarding anything in this AU, please ask away!

IceWings

IceWings are one of the five living tribes on Pyrrhia, inhabiting the tundra in the northwest of the continent.

They are currently ruled by Queen Opalescence, and fight alongside Lacewing in the ongoing War Against Hybrids.

Description

IceWings are a large and incredibly spiky tribe. They have spikes all around their neck, running down their spine, and along the tip of their tail. Their scales are also rather spiky in shape, and their claws are long and serrated. IceWings can be any color, but are almost always shades of off-white. Most commonly, an IceWing will be white, light blue, or silver. Their scales are quite reflective, like actual ice, and their blood is blue rather than red. IceWing eggs are white or silver, and cold to the touch, hatching best in the snow. IceWing dragonets have pure white scales that develop color as they grow older

Abilities

IceWings are rather dangerous to handle in claw-to-claw combat, whether trained or not, for they are covered in spikes, and they have sharp claws and teeth. Their scales may also be blinding to dragons if exposed to sunlight. IceWings can blast ice from within their throat, which can snap off limbs if used right. IceWings are somewhat resistant to this frostbreath. However, the ice can be prevented by exposure to intense heat, suggesting that an internal body temperature is what allows the ice to form. IceWings can withstand bright lights and reflections. They can also survive easily in frozen temperatures, allowing them to reside in the tundras.

MudWings

MudWings are one of the five living tribes on Pyrrhia, inhabiting the swamps along the east coast.

They are currently ruled by Queen Russet, and are in support of Queen Lacewing in the ongoing War Against Hybrids.

Description

MudWings are the largest and most muscular of all the dragon tribes. They have smaller wings, resulting in shorter flight spans, though they are still strong fliers regardless. MudWings are typically warm colors, ranging from shades of brown to amber, although gray or green MudWings are not terribly uncommon. Their coloration tends to match the color of mud or murky water, allowing them to blend in, especially when submerged. MudWing eggs are large and heavy, and typically various shades of brown, though their colors do not always match the dragonet inside. However, occasionally eggs will come out a blood-red color, and from these eggs hatch fire-immune MudWings (see Abilities). They hatch best when half-submerged in mud. MudWing dragonets have lighter, more vibrant scales than adults, though the change is not terribly noticeable.

Abilities

MudWings are a naturally strong tribe, capable of lifting things far larger and heavier than they are. As a result, MudWings tend to eat more food than the other tribes in order to maintain this muscle. MudWings can only breathe fire when exposed to decently warm temperatures, although it is noted to be weaker than other tribes. A MudWing's fire grows stronger the longer they submerge themselves in mud prior, so it is not uncommon to see MudWings bathing in mud before a battle or skirmish. MudWings also have vents along their throat, allowing for smoke to filter out when breathing fire to prevent damage. However, they lack filtration in their nostrils, resulting in smoke clogging up their senses for periods of time, especially if they are not careful. Some MudWings hatch completely immune to fire; there is no clear indicator of this trait except the color of their eggs, which are red. More commonly, however, a MudWing from one of these red eggs will be more resistant to fire, their resistance growing stronger with the help of mud. MudWings have the ability to hold their breath for around an hour, allowing them to fully submerge themselves in mud if they so desire. However, in doing so, their body slows down until they take another breath, in order to preserve energy.
