Lore: Breed and Gene Change Scrolls
'Scrolls', for the most part, tend to manifest in dragons slowly over time. They aren't 'bought' (though breed change scrolls can be an interesting exception). According to Adhara and Farshantir (the clan leader and religiously devoted clan archivist, respectively), the Changes are caused by the deities themselves, a residual left over magic that means they have chosen that dragon for a particular task. Dragons who Change, therefore, are highly regarded in the clan. Lorrigan, however, has a different approach. Usually affable and casually flirtatious, the subject of the deities is not one to be broached lightly with him. He despises the deities so passionately that he and Farshantir, once excellent friends, can no longer stay in the same room for too long, lest they start to fight. Adhara disapproves of his disbelief, but can't find a way to convince him that he's wrong. For him, the changes are something of a joke. If it is done 'by the deities magic', then it's as a mockery, not a blessing: 'See how we control your lives. See how much more powerful we are. Don't try to fight us.' When his own wings changed, therefore, he flew up to the clan Watch, the highest point of the lair, and screamed. At first it was profanities, oaths and curses, but it soon devolved into mindless, wordless rage. He screamed until he was hoarse, and his mates Fyodr and Sapphire found him. The other exception in the clan is Heyes. Now a willowy skydancer with a dull coat of fur, he was born a Guardian with iridescent armour plating. Something of a thief and a cheat, his bulk and shimmery qualities were no great help to him, so he did something about it. He is the only member of the clan to have 'bought' his changes, and is only one of two clan members to ever be breed changed. (The other, Arandar, was barely a day old when her lithe Imperial form was remade into her new, tiny, nocturne body. Though she knows she should have some opinion on it, she doesn't feel she can really comment, since she doesn't remember any other way of life.)
