So I got a doc made to save who I need to ping and I had the idea to make it available to everyone to edit since I know some people are shy and find it hard to go and ask to be pinged. (I know I am, takes me a bit to ask to be pinged myself)

I won’t abuse the pinglist of course, you’ll only be pinged for lore posts! This also makes it so you can remove yourself at any time as well.

Here’s the doc!

Lore: Arqam

Doors & Guardians: Go here 

Research

Dedicating his life to studying ancient languages and symbols all across Sornieth, Arqam’s particular area of interest – some may even call it blind obsession – are Doors. Those mysterious portals can be seen spread across all flights, regardless of element alignment, age or degree of contact between civilizations. More interesting yet is the fact that many different tribes, without any contact between themselves, developed similar traditions and rituals surrounding the rustic shrines. Understanding what Doors are, as well as the role of the guardian statues within each one, is Arqam raison d’etre, and the reason for his travels and current living arrangements. After hearing rumors of an active Door – and one being deliberately manipulated by the clan’s dragons at will – the skydancer promptly left everything behind and started the journey to the Fortress of Ends, intent on finally finding concrete proof that would cement his theory in the academic world. Not used to field trips in such harsh environments, despite being born in the ice realm, it took some getting used to as he trekked north. Once settled in his new home, however, Arqam wasted no time in getting his most prized possession – an ancient guardian statue retrieved by his colleagues and left in his care – to his new home. Two guardian statues in the same place was unheard of in both myth and academic reports, and he was convinced that such an experiment would go a long way in explaining the nature of the stone carving and what their roles were. Signs As payment for his stay with the clan, Arqam has agreed to teach the prince and his mate sign language since the young Ember, being unable to speak common draconic, has no choice but to remain silent and withdrawn from her clan mates. While dragonkind has no unified sign language accepted by all clans, Arqam was convinced that as long as the member is her clan could understand and communicate with her, it would matter little to Cybelle what origin the symbols she signed had. The language being taught was one of Arqam’s own creation, a hodgepodge of symbols from ancient civilizations, modern vernacular and Fae motions designed to convey as many ideas as possible with the least possible confusion. While it is constantly challenging and requires an incredible amount of research to craft his own glossary, the scholar has to admit that he’s enjoying himself - as well as the implications of crafting a dialect that future researchers such as himself might puzzle over. The idea of causing future dragons grief fills him with pride. Aide Leaving behind his whole life and career in a flurry of desperation to move to his new clan, Arqam forgot, among other things, to collect payment for services rendered to a number of dragons. Something that suddenly hit him as a female skydancer was sent to him as thanks. Born and raised in the travelling caravan of a wealthy merchant, Khawala was Arqam’s payment for his invaluable service in validating and evaluating artifacts for the tundra. Trained as a servant and entertainer, the soft-spoken female tries hard to please her new master, despite his protests that she’s free to do what she will with her life in their new home. Unused to being free to decide for herself, Khawala instead spends her day trailing after Arqam, driving the male insane as she often misplaces his scattered notes and research in an attempt to tidy up his den and make things easier for him. Interestingly enough, more than once Arqam has caught her not only putting his notes away, but actually reading them whenever the female thinks herself alone. The subservient demeanor might be a façade hiding a sharp mind, and for once he welcomes company other than his beloved statues; maybe having an aide wouldn’t be such a bad thing. Gods know being the smartest in the room can get a bit tiring after some time.

Tonight in another episode of I Have No Chill and Impulse Bought ANOTHER Dragon: Khawala

Dazzling the crowd in a custom accent made by moi for exactly such an occasion (all my accents are gembond friendly because I’m weak and I know it)

Khawala (meaning servant dancer) was a diplomatic gift by a wealthy dragon of questionable morals. Raised as a servant and “entertainer” her entire life with her former master, the female is soft-spoken and clueless about what exactly living as a free dragon entails. 

Since Arqam is her assigned mate, she constantly drives the poor scholar insane as she trails after him and often disturbs his research and whatever notes he left lying around as she tries to tidy up after him. The male is too focused on his work to notice anything that goes around him half the time, which leaves a puzzled Khawala wondering what he expects form her when he seems more interested in rocks than in finding himself a mate

If your Dragons are Drunkards...

This may be useful for you. Also: tavern-owners, distillers, brewers, tavern-goers, lawmen, mercenaries, courtesans, etc. etc. etc. Have a list of the plants that can make alcohol in Sornieth.

Most of the items I have listed here are for use in wines, however, Sornieth does have a few wheat-like plants that produce grain. Grain is used to make stronger brews like vodka, whiskey, and rum. Wine and brandy need fermented fruit.

Please note that I am NOT an expert in malting in any way. Most of this has been gleaned from books, and as such is probably lacking in some areas. That being said, if you’d like to contact me about the malting process, I can link you to several good sources/share what I know.

FR plants you can make spirits out of:

Amaranth (a grain - used for stronger stuff like whiskey, gin, rum, and vodka)

Prickly Pear

Watermelon

Sugarmelon

Strawberry

Blood Acorn

Woodland Acorn

Blackberry

Winter’s Delight (in my lore this is a rare, delicious wine harvested on the winter solstice)

Charged Duneberry

Potash Peach (must be cooled before fermenting)

Raspberry

Aether Cherries

Red Delicious Apple

Honeycrisp Apple

Other items used for flavoring:

Honeycomb

Luminous Almonds

Roses (petals only)

Cinnamon

Jasmine (goes well with strawberries)

Speckled Petunia (Reduction) (sweet, grassy flavor)

Hallowed Ivy (lifts a dragon’s emotional spirits)

Sour Green Apple

Granny Smith Apple

Use at your own risk:

Blue Entoloma (sleep aid)

Blood Spath (high in calories)

High-Voltage Almonds

Maiden’s Blush (slightly toxic, raises body temperature)

This is not, of course, the final jurisdiction on matters! I may have missed a few plants/not included a few because I am not a brewer myself. Feel free to use this information any way you please~

So there you have it. I wanted to make a list like this for a long time, I may do a different one with the known recipes of Sornieth’s garnishes/sauces/food recipes when I find time.

Do not drink and fly. Stay safe, kids.

Happy brewing!

Lore: Jennie

Fairest of Them All Jennie wasn’t always the clumsy, trusting guardian hatchling that now inhabits the clan. It is said that there was once a skydancer. A great beauty among her peers, she was courted by many, coveted by all. But all the admiration just fed her ever growing ego, and little by little she became twisted. The great beauty began to dare the very gods. She amassed many riches, gifts from her admirers and from those seeking her favor. And once she judged her fortune was enough, she went before the gods themselves. The vain beauty boldly sought to buy their favor, and as her ego grew so did their outrage. At last she demanded that she be made eternally young and beautiful, for no other could ever be as beautiful as her. Enraged at the daring skydancer the gods decided to punish her, by granting her very wish. Eternally young, she was made into a hatchling again, and as her memories faded away she screeched at them for tricking her. As a final punishment, they turned her into a guardian – one of the very breeds she looked down on. Finally appeased, the gods returned to their realms, leaving behind a small guardian, with no memory of the curse laid upon her. Mirror, Mirror At first the little guardian had no idea how she had gotten lost. Upon further thought, she also had no idea where she belonged to in the first place. The magic that turned her back had also erased her memory, and her small brain couldn’t possibly grasp the events that led her to her current situation. With no clue of who or where she was, the little guardian found herself oddly drawn to her own reflection. Try as she might, she constantly found herself drawn back to it, so finally she gave up and made her way through the wilderness, following her own image as it flickered all around her. And so she made her way to the icy domain of the Icewarden, dazzled by the ice walls and crystal caves that reflected a thousand times her own face at her, hundreds and hundreds of companions to a hatchling that only ever remembered being alone. That was, until she suddenly found herself inside a lair that was very much occupied. Stumbling upon Cassandra’s clan, the small guardian was ecstatic to meet new friends, and despite protests eventually won the – very reluctant – affection of the matriarch herself. The queen suspected there was more about the small dragon than met the eye, but it was clear the little one had no more knowledge of her previous life than any of the clan members. Given a simple name, Jennie was accepted into the clan. But sometimes word comes by of the vanished dragon. In those days, Jennie often found herself staring into her own reflection, trying to see clearly the dragon that every so often flickers in her place as she stares into her own eyes. Trying to find out more about the stranger that screams at her to let her out.

And thus the poet sung, the song of flames;

Fog of ash that blinds the eyes fills the air where he should see; and thick smoke beneath starry skies awakens the traveler’s need to flee. The time is midnight, or so it would seem Silhouettes take flight in the volcanic steam - On this scorched land’s coal the traveler finds the earth’s debris, where heat is felt to the soul he finds himself where none should be.

Stone Guardians

No one knows for sure where they came from, or how long they have stood at the lair’s entrance. One merely takes for granted the presence of the mighty guardians, looming silently and still since time untold.

The elders tell the tale of a different breed of imperials. One that, like guardians, sought to protect their brethren by becoming fearsome warriors. But their power was too great, and to keep the world from falling into chaos the gods have doomed them into their eternal slumber. Those stone giants are found throughout Sornieth, usually near where a mighty clan has made their home.

From their perch they silently watch and judge those that come near their home. It is said that during times of need, the stone guardians will come back to life, and once more fight for their home and to protect those within.           

If for some reason you’d like one for yourself PM me and I’ll send one your way when they breed again! All of their kids come with this lore blurb and a piece of art - yes, they are free for lore clans

Tempest Chasers

Chase the Storm

Among dragonkind, the harnessed power of lightning is a powerful thing. One that many covet, and only a few are brave enough to seek.

A key element in giving life to mechanical automatons, the power of lightning must be collected from the heart of a storm the moment it strikes. Those that dare fly towards the angry dark clouds are thus known as Tempest Chasers.

The object of admiration for their bravery – and, some may argue, for their insanity – those dragons fly amongst the angry skies, seeking out storms and using a mysteryous device akin to a scroll case to hold its harnessed power.

No dragon outside of their guild knows how they do it, and it’s a secret well kept among their trade. Only those with experience might attempt to tame the tempest, and it’s a source of great pride to be acknowledged as a chaser.

Lore: Door Guardians

While traveling across Sornieth, scholars and archaeologists often find small pockets in the face of cliffs, hidden from view along mountains or in the shade of trees. Those small crevices are considered lucky for travelers, a safe place to rest or wait out a particularly fierce storm. Superstitious dragons would call them Doors. Each one is decorated with symbols and runes that change according to the flight or region where they are located. Each one is guarded by a stone carved in the likeness of a dragon. Varying wildly in size and species, the statues were revered by ancient tribes of both dragons and Beastclan alike as protective spirits that watched over travelers. Custom had it for travelers to make a small offering if they ever found themselves facing such a place; particularly if, after losing their way, they kept finding themselves in the exact same place over and over again. Respectful adventurers were rewarded with finding their way soon after departing again, oftentimes with great luck in their endeavors. Those said to scorn and ignore the statues, instead, were left to roam the area until they could go on no more. While modern scholars postulate that the Doors and their guardians are no more than a myth from primitive cultures, some question if such budding clans would have the technology and skill necessary to craft such intricate and complex system of caves all around the world. While a territory often has eerily similar statues in its Doors, fearful dragons vouch for the existence of a single Guardian for each area. Rather than similar rifts in the landscape, they tell stories of a single Door, traveling from place to place as it’s needed, its single Guardian controlling its path and the fate of those that step inside it as it’s free to roam within the boundaries known only to the stone creatures inside. Tales of offerings made suddenly appearing again in a Door located miles away only seem to corroborate such beliefs, as do changes in the statues perceived by those that live near them. While no dragon has ever seen one of them move, it’s said that such stone creatures are capable of movement and thought as well as any living creature. It happens in the blink of an eye, or when a weary traveler distractedly looks away to get their bearings. But suddenly a previously folded wing might be pointing them in the right direction and - of course it is nothing more than a trick of their mind - the statue’s smile might seem just a little wider, it’s eyes just a little warmer.

Doctor Who statues + fast travel + Chinese door gods + shrines + a boatload of magic = ???????
