A longwing consultation (ft Lily, Excidium, and a tiny Roland and Harcount having tea)

I wanted to show my headcanon of male vs female dragons: like some birds, I always think of the males as smaller and flashier. The coloration differences are not meant as sexually dimorphic, but I'd imagine there's some flexibility in color within a breed.

Excidium here is shorter with a bigger crest, and also some cool scars. While he's not an old dragon, I tried to make him look more mature than Lily, who is very young in comparison. I tried to make his wings look more tiger-like than Lily's, too, just cause.

Thanks for reading!

Arms I made up for Jane Roland (and later Emily’s) Ducal House. Roland’s titles are never mentioned in the books, but I have her created Duchess of Carmarthen. Carmarthen was a major center in Wales prior to industrialization. It is meant something of an insult from the government because the Welsh are icky, just like women and aviators. The Rolands, naturally, do not care one bit and rather take a liking to the place. Most estates they are awarded are in England, however. They do not currently have a seat because they have dragons to fly. Might get some subsidiary titles (maybe something named for Scotland near Loch Laggan) so that Emily can be a Countess.

The dragon is not a perfect longwings, but it is blue, and holding a grenade to symbolize the guns and bombs. Four yellow stripes on green for an Admiral of the Air. Golden Laurels for Victory. A ducal coronet above. Jane is extremely mad that the College of Arms said she couldn’t swear in her motto, and refuses to use Latin or French until someone suggests “Excidium.” The dragon himself is quite pleased with this, although wishes his portrait was better. But the poor College of Arms people are already so sad about his hastily put together arms that Jane just left it.
