ARE YOU WATCHING THE KEVIN COSTNER HATFIELDS AND MCCOYS. BECAUSE IF YOU ARE WATCHING THAT I WILL BE MAD. BECAUSE I HAD THE EXTENDED/UNCUT VERSION WHILE YOU WERE HERE AND ALMOST SUGGESTED IT, BUT THEN THOUGHT "NA, THEY WOULDN'T BE INTERESTED IN THIS."

I SWEAR WE TALKED ABOUT IT THE FIRST TIME I WATCHED IT BUT OH MY GOD YES THAT'S THE ONE I'VE SEEN IT SO MANY TIMES WE NEED TO WATCH IT TOGETHER

Lair Information

So this morning, ClanHallowBranch and I were discussing my lair and how it's set up.

At least, ever since I moved to Shadow, what revamps we're done in the building structure.

Main Level

Similar to what the lair of the Amalthean Clan looked like in Arcane, the lair is once again made from the surrounding trees, either nurtured or eliminated, moved, etc, to resemble fractals. There is one large clearing, centered by a runic fireplace and 4 nests, with a staircase heading below the ground, covered by a layer of glass.

Surrounding this large clearing, there are 9 large trees, each of which have a purpose: The Library, the Youngling's Quarters, Kitchens, Highborn Hall, Hunter's Quarters, Forgemaster's Quarters, The Entrance Tree, which has been hollowed out to create a tunnel, the Guard's Quarters, and the Seer's Quarters, along with several smaller trees, which hold the Medic's Area (which has a outside area behind it that acts as a greenhouse, which is why the original area is so small), Naturalist's Quarters, and Firestarter's Quarters. Living spaces for pairs are carved from even smaller trees surrounding each respective work area.

Around the Library lies the living spaces of Leomare, Gilded and Graceling, Valor and Fireborn, Aurelia and Enceladon, and Galleon and Feulu.

Around the Guard's Area live Thunderclap and Maysy, Tailais and Firestar, Valdimar and Vivace, Grimoire and Grigori.

Liqueur lives by the kitchens, Mercury in the Medic's area.

All of the highborns live around Highborn Hall.

Valkyrie and Paladium, Ashensnow and Ashborne, and Sirius and Shadowpath lived around the seer's quarters.

Capriccio, Khalisi, Cypress, Straciatello and Indulgence, Chalcedony and Brenda currently live around the Hunter's Quarters, though only Capriccio is a permanent resident.

Around the Forge Quarters lives Naomi, Forge and Zironica, Astor and Maren, Pelagio and Pelagria, and Aegis and Seaspirit.

Lower Level

  The root systems of the largest trees around the lair (the main areas mentioned in the first paragraph) proceed underground, forming rooms.

The room under Highborn Hall is where the livestock are kept, as Astraella frequents this area.

The room beneath the Library becomes the Treasury and Vault.

Below the kitchens is dry storage where grain, dried meats, cheese, alcohols, etc are kept. Basically a cellar.

Below the Youngling's Quarters is the herb growery and potion storage. Excess medical supplies are kept down here as well.

Below the Guard's Quarters is the Armory, and below the main entrance lies building material storage.

Obviously, below the Forge quarters is the actual forge and ore storage area.

Below the Hunter's Quarters is the Butchery and Cold Food Storage Area. Meat and Seafood are all kept here once caught and dispatched, as well as anything that requires freezing or cold temperatures.

Lastly, below the Seer's quarters lies the Temple, where the statues of all the exalted rest with a statue of the Deity, the Shadowbinder. All the statues are carved by claw by Earthen, and Aegis and Seaspirit make the eyes for each and every one.

Upper Level

The upper level is still in process of being built. This level, comprised of ladders, bridges, and platforms, will be used to house more dragons, grow a wider variety of crops, act as a lookout post, defensive position for when the lair is attacked, and for many yet undetermined uses. The engineers are in the process of testing materials so the weight of many dragon can be held easily and without fail.

clanhallowbranch said: Nothing really to do with the hatchlings - Just, out of curiosity, where did you pick up the name Valdis? It isn’t used much so I must always be nosey when it is.

Aw heck, I like it when people are nosy about this sorta' thing--that's totally cool!

So, I wanted to pick sort of a badass name for her--since she was ORIGINALLY going to be my Plague ambassador until Vasilios showed up.

Valdis is actually Latvian in origin and means "Ruler." But I actually picked it for its alternate meaning--it's also Scandinavian in origin and means "Goddess of the Dead."

What's even cooler is that it can also be used as a male name and is apparently Teutonic for "Spirited in War." Which also suites her, I think.

I did a bunch of research on the name and generally fell in love with it, so yeah. :'D That's why I chose it for her, other than the fact that it sounds super neat.
