THE STORY
"At the dusk of the last age, the inquisitive Arcanist made his way up, up the great pillar and towards the skies. There he gazed out into the endless stars, in awe at the sight of asteroids and galaxies and nebulae... But something saw him.
The Shade plunged down over Sornieth with terrifying force. It shattered the pillar, and from the broken fragments came the other gods. Shocked and enraged, they turned on each other almost as soon as they had emerged. That was when they created us, dragonkind, each species carved in the image of their deity and every dragon imbued with the elemental magic of the realm in which they were born. Soon, different species began to travel to other territories, and the rage and fighting between the flights started to subside.
But the Shade still crawled through the lands like seeping poison, and inevitably they would strike out in time. Not so long ago, the central points of each realm- the Spiral Keep, the Cloudsong, the Great Furnace, the Observatory and all the rest- were targeted by a violent, powerful force. Nobody knew who the attackers were, but rumours are circulating, and everybody has become suspicious of everybody else. The tensions have sparked intense warfare between the flights; matters are made worse by the Beastclans, who blame all of the dragons for their own strifes and are fighting back just as hard.
Your clan is trapped amid this turmoil. Whether they remain peaceful or join the military efforts for their flight, there is no avoiding how dangerous the world of Sornieth has become as of late... But was it really other dragons that lead the attack, or is something much more terrible at play? Unbeknownst to any of your clan, they are about to stumble upon the truth of the matter. Your leader and a few representatives of your clan have been called to a peace conference, where several clans from different flights are trying to arrange a truce. The meeting, to be held in the Dragonhome, is about to start when somebody's Rambra wanders in...
"I told you, stay outside!" the dragon barks, but the Rambra doesn't listen for once. Its eyes are clouded black. It begins to convulse, and dark energy pours from its writhing body. Suddenly, you realise that everyone is in far greater danger than anyone could have imagined."

RULES
1. You must have a Flight Rising account in order to join, so that you may use your own dragons. You can use dragons from another person's account if they permit it.
2. As with typical RP rules, no god-modding or meta-gaming. You cannot take control of others characters without permission. Unless your character has a backstory with someone else's character, they will not know everything is to be about them, or know other characters' names before they are told. No character will have a complete idea of what is going on, as well, and have to learn more about the events as time goes on. Your character can be strong, but not perfect, of course.
3. Please do not ignore other characters in the RP for no reason when they are near your character, unless that person is breaking the rules.
4. Please do not write using any "chat speak" and try your best with grammar and spelling. It doesn't have to be impeccable, just readable.
5. Your character(s) will not be killed without permission, but PLEASE be 'realistic' in fights and wounds. Even if your character is a super tough dragon, they also have their limits.
6. Any amount of characters per person, but try not to bite off more than you can chew. If you don't trust yourself with not using loads and loads of characters, impose a limit on yourself.
7. Keep it clean. Romance is allowed, but no explicit naughty stuff. Fights can be bloody but not over-the-top gorey. Some swearing is allowed, such as "crap". Anything really foul would sound weird coming from the mouth of dragons.
CHARACTER SHEET
Character sheets should be small to average size, but if there is no biography in your dragon's description, you can make it a bit bigger.
You can add characters any time you want. If a dragon from your lair is only making a small and temporary appearance, or is being referenced, you don't need to make a sheet, but you may want to link to them like so -

"No, no," said Winterspell, shaking his head, "I have no idea what species of plant this is. Maybe Everlasting would know, if she were here."
