LORE
( terra flight )
Terra Flight lives in the earth, guiding the living Flights by entering their dreams or whispering through the leaves. Dragons who pass away are buried in the earth and given to Terra Flight. These ancestors may appear to a king/queen, a lord, or a shaman in their dreams. However, in order to conduct a ceremony, the Flight's king/queen must travel to the Earth Mound, which is a beautiful small hill. If a dragon was exiled from their Flight and dies in exile, they will not go to Terra Flight. Instead, their spirit will vanish.( dragons )
Generally, a dragon's scale color determines their type
of breath. However, in rare occasions, a dragon may
have a different breath than the color of its scales.
Fire: Gold, brass, red
Lightning: Blue, bronze
Acid: Black, copper
Poisonous gas: Green, purple
Ice/Water: White, silver
( world )
| Dragons aren't the only magical creatures in this
| world. There are many other mythical beings, such as
| phoenixes and manticores. Sometimes they can pose a
| threat to a Flight, or they can become prey for the Flight,
| or they could help a Flight. There are occasions where they
| may even join a Flight. However, this is extremely rare,
| since dragons tend to look down on those who aren't the
| same species. ───────────────────────────── ☁ ─────────────────────────────
FIRSTxPOSTIf it's your first time posting, describe your flight. What is their territory like? How does the flight act? What are the flight's beliefs? What is their reputation? This helps decide what your first dragon will look like! Your post will be quoted with a picture of your first dragon, a king/queen, and who your replier will be.

GROWINGxFLIGHTWhenever you get a new dragon, you can chose its name, age, and gender. You can find more dragons by either coming across them during a patrol or asking Terra Flight for one. At Earth Mound, you can ask for a specific ranked dragon, such as a shaman. However, you can only visit the Earth Mound once a week.
Another way to grow your flight is through mates. If you want your dragons to become mates, have them go somewhere alone and one of the dragons can ask the other to become mates. I'll timeskip to when the female realizes she's going to have hatchlings. After 1 season, she'll lay the eggs. After another season or two, they'll hatch. If you want the dragon to not have eggs, say so. If you want them to have another litter, again, please say so.─────────────────────────────
☁ ─────────────────────────────
PATROLSYou can send out patrols of up to eight dragons, but at least one of them must be a defender. There are two types of patrols - a hunting patrol,or a guarding patrol. A hunting patrol only contains one or two defenders, since the main purpose is to hunt. A guarding patrol contains only defenders, since the main purpose is to make sure the territory is safe.
Hunting Patrols can hunt for prey, while Guarding patrols can chase off threats, which will keep the Flight safe for 12 hours. Both patrols can find a new dragon, though usually it'll be a defender, hunter, or a cadet. Hatchlings can sometimes be found, but only if there is a broodmother available. The bigger your Flight is, the less likely it is to find a new dragon. You may also encounter a leader from another Flight. You can decide to become enemies or allies.
The number of dragons you own limits the amount of patrols you may send. You may also only send dragons on tasks that match their role in your flight.
Hunters may only hunt, Defenders may only guard or protect hunters, shamans may only herb hunt.
1-20 Dragons - 1 Hunting Patrol, 1 Guarding Patrol, 1 Herb Hunting Patrol
21-35 Dragons - 2 Hunting Patrols, 1 Guarding Patrol, 2 Herb Hunting Patrols
36-50 Dragons - 2 Hunting Patrols, 2 Guarding Patrols, 2 Herb Hunting Patrols
51+ Dragons - 3 Hunting Patrols, 3 Guarding Patrols, 2 Herb Hunting Patrols─────────────────────────────

RANKSA hatchling becomes a cadet when it is 6 seasons old. A cadet becomes a defender or a hunter between 12 - 16 seasons. Whenever a dragon changes rank, you must announce it in some way, so that if applicable, your replier can give you their new sprite.
King/Queen: The leader of the flight
Lord: Second-in-command, the name is considered gender neutral
Shaman: Has a connection with Terra Flight and tends to wounded dragons
Shaman cadet: Picked by the shaman to train under them
Defender: Protects the Flight's territory and participates in hunting and guarding patrols, but can't hunt very well
Hunter: Hunts for the Flight through hunting patrols
Cadet: Trains in both defender and hunter techniques. They are given two mentors - a defender and a hunter. Their mentors determiens if the cadet will be a defender or a hunter
Hatchling: A dragon that has just hatched
Broodmother: A dragon who is about to lay eggs or is taking care of hatchlings
Ancients: Dragons who are too old to hunt or defend. They are considered to be very wise─────────────────────────────

AGINGSince dragons age slowly, they measure time in seasons. Whenever you make a new post for your Flight, you must age all of your dragons by oneseason. When a dragon reaches 155 seasons, they should move into the rank ancient. There are five ways your dragon can die: being a stillborn, old age (200 seasons), being attacked severally by a dangerous animal/another dragon,broodmothers can die when laying eggs, and not having your injuries treated within four days of them getting injured and/or sick.─────────────────────────────
☁ ─────────────────────────────
HEALINGWhen you first receive your shaman, you can choose between five herbs to start out with. You can send your shaman to find herbs, which will reward them with one-two new herbs. If a shaman cadet searches for herbs, they'll only find one. If both shaman and shaman cadet look for herbs, it'll be up to three. These herbs are stored and can be used to help injured dragons. Herbs can be found here, here, here, and here.─────────────────────────────
☁ ─────────────────────────────
TRAININGYou will chose the two mentors (one a defender, the other a hunter) for your cadet. They must complete four training sessions and be 12 seasons old before becoming a defender or a hunter. Each training session teaches the cadet a new "move," such as hunting or fighting, though there is a chance they might not learn anything.─────────────────────────────
☁ ─────────────────────────────
ALLIES/ENEMIESWhen you come across another Flight, you can either be their ally or enemy. Allies can give up dragons, herbs, food, and other things in order to help them. Enemies can attack a Flight's home to steal dragons, herbs, or food. At least four dragons must be used to invade the Flight's territory. Dragons on both sides can die, so make sure you send your strongest dragons / dragons you wouldn't mind losing.─────────────────────────────
☁ ─────────────────────────────
FORBIDDENxROMANCESForbidden romances occur when a shaman has a mate or a dragon has a mate belonging to a different Flight. These dragons can find a way to sneak out of camp to meet with their forbidden lover. If one of them lays eggs, they can find someone to cover up as the father, or they can give a few/all of their eggs to the father. It's rare for these relationships to be discovered, but if they are, the dragons may be punished.─────────────────────────────
☁ ─────────────────────────────
HUNTINGYou have five moons to gather up prey. After that, prey will be eaten for every other post. Each hunter on a hunting patrol will bring back 1-4 servings.
0-2 seasons: No serving, feeds on bugs
3-6 seasons: 1/2 serving
7+ seasons: 1 serving
Massive Animal (roc, griffin, chimera, etc.) - 3 servings
Large Animal (elk, moose, unicorn, etc.) - 1 serving
Medium Animal (goat, deer, sheep, etc.) - 1/2 serving
Small Animal (rabbit, mouse, squirrel, etc.) - 1/4 serving─────────────────────────────
