Worldbuilding Wednesday - Disability Pride Month Edition
Does your clan have any dragon or beastclan residents with disabilities? How do their disabilities affect their daily lives? Does your lair have any accessibility features available (ramps, braille, sign interpreters, etc) for residents or visitors who might be disabled?
warning my lore is a bit dark (I am a shadow lair after all)
Does your clan have any dragon or beastclan residents with disabilities?
so i'm about to go and rename most of my dragons, so i'm only going to talk about this guy
Brambles used to be a Aberration, but his other head, Thorns, got cut off in an attack from a certain group of Zealots. He was found barely alive, a skydancer scroll was used to try and save his life, but it left some deformities: his right wing is tiny, his right eye is blind, and has chronic pain on his right side (he also has "scars" there, looks like vitiligo). He wears a blindfold as the skydancer's empathy magic/antenna is pretty overstimulating (he is using this as an excuse, he does not want to see himself)
note: in my lore, breed changes leave types of "mutations", and any scars or injuries they had before translate over, sometimes in strange ways.
note 2: there's a big difference between ancient dragons and modern dragons in my lore. All dragons are made of magic, Modern dragons are kinda a blank slate, their magic depends mostly on where they're hatched, but is generally more 'flexible', shapeshifting, to some degree, comes naturally to them, they usually have a smaller, humanoid form. Ancient dragon are made of more concentrated elemental magic, they cannot shapeshift into said humanoid form, and regardless of where they're born, they still keep their base elemental affinities (ex. Gaolers have ice magic even if born in the fire flight)

so my guys live in a monarchy, the last empress was a tyrant, and there was a huge class divide. Long story short, her daughter overthrew her and has been rebuilding the empire from the ground up. Right now there is one section of Nevergreen (the city) which has been outfitted to accommodate the disabled. Is there a problem with shoving every disabled person into one small section? Well, yeah obviously.
The city is currently being rebuilt, and at the same time the new government is trying to deal with the rampant crime problems among the lower class, while demolishing the upper class entirely, and also updating so many records that haven't been touch in years
note 3: the disabled people are not forced to stay in that sector, it's just the only one with proper accommodations (it's like the equivalent of 2 apartment building)
I wanted to put all those silly Skittles doodles together outside of the tournament, so here they are! Thank you again to everyone who voted for her! I hope you all had as much fun as I did! ^^ <3
I desperately have the desire to draw but the heat makes it hard to have motivation. This is a 30 minute sketch to wind down the night after getting frustrated with a different composition I scrapped (completely unrelated to this drawing). If there's something I can count on it's Pidge being the source of a stress free drawing.
We're currently investigating a spate of spam private messages being sent to players on the site.
These private messages do not have links in them. They're quite friendly and are heavily focused on topics typically associated with Flight Rising players, like role-play, art commissions, etc. From there, they'll invite you to privately message them over on Discord (currently), where whatever link or file they send you won't be flagged.
This is a common tactic, to isolate the intended victim by bringing them to a "second place."
Never go to the second place. If what they're looking to discuss in private messages is legitimate, they'll have no problems discussing their topics on the Flight Rising website.
Please be careful when you're being sent an unknown link or file. Don't download files or click on links from people employing these tactics online.

S: Some fanart of our favorite deities. May wanted to see the Shadowbinder, I drew the Flamecaller for myself. The good ol’ lady - the plaguebringer herself - because we both initially started the game in plague, but moved on to fire and shadow respectively.
i was gonna do a skin but she actually looks so cool with the morph wings. looks like a cloud of ash. also kind of obsessed with the way that helmet thingy frames the little crescent moon on the guise
