[Merlin's Heir]

Introduction
Violet Stormbringer and I didn't know each other very well until we recieved some very similar gifts. We each found a box containing a large egg that had a feeling of power coming from it. My box came with a message that said, "Violet Stormbringer has also recieved one of these." Curious, I set out in search of Violet. She was looking for me, too, because her box came with a message that said, "TheHorseWhisperer has also recieved one of these." The day after we met, as we were sitting in a park discussing our eggs, they hatched into adorable little dragon hatchlings. They grew quickly, and we were immediatly interested in where they had come from. We soon each recieved another egg. We decided to set up cameras to catch whoever delivered them on video. One day, I checked my camera and it had gotten a video of a person putting an egg by the door, then getting in a car and driving away. Violet had also gotten a similar video. With the license plate number, we were able to track down this person. He told us where we could find more eggs and we bought the island they were showing up in. Dragonclaw Island, the only known home of the Ancients, is a massive island inhabited only by the Ancients. Now we have decided to allow other people to visit this place and, perhaps, find their own Ancient Elder Western Dragon.

About the Ancients
The colors vary with age. In real life, Tiger Sharks have bold stripes as juveniles and lose their stripes as they age. Ancients' color are something similar to this, but backwards. Eggs have natural base colors, usually a light cream egg with maybe a few brown colors meshed into it to blend into their habitat. Young hatchlings have earthy tones, with a base color varying from black, brown, dark gray, or at brightest a light tan. Hatchlings cannot fly so this will help them blend in, which is also why their markings are not very bright. Say if a hatchling hatched in a desert or rocky climate (gray or brownish tan base) moved to a rainforesty or lush enviroment, their base color would take on a slightly green hue, sometimes gaining brighter markings such as spots or stripes, or both, to blend in to surroundings. As they grow older and more flight-capable, their base colors bolden and become brighter in coloring, and can take on an orangy-tan coloration to a light gray coloration, or sometimes they will take on darker coloration. One-color Ancients are very rare. Eye colors can be blue, golden, amber, brown, and green, and albinos have can have red, pink, or blue eyes. Some Ancients have stripes or speckles on their dorsal horns.
Eggs are about the height of a domestic cat, newly hatched hatchlings are about the size of a medium sized dog (i.e. husky, german shepherd), younglings are about the size of a small horse (not a pony, more like a 14.3-15hh horse), adults are about the size of a small elephant, and Elders are the about the size of a house, having lived for over a century.
Every month, two special Ancients, known as Mystics, will be released. These are very rare dragons and each person can only have one of them. They are incapable of breeding and are extremely special.

About Adopting
You must have 150 posts and have to have been on CS for at least 6 months to adopt an Ancient. On an Ancient's page there will be a form made by the artist. If you want the Ancient and have met all requirements, you may fill out the form and post it. Do not change the form in any way (i.e. adding colors, italics, bolding, etc.) except to add the nessecary info (such as name, personality, etc.) The personality and history must be well-made and the name should fit the dragon nicely. You must be able to make at least one piece of artwork of the dragon every two months (whether it is traditional or digital).

Draekken Valley
When no one had tried for an Ancient by the time it is to be adopted out, or when their human companion wishes to leave them, they go to Draekken Valley, or if their human companion neglects them, they will go to Draekken Valley. Here they will live their whole lives with only others of their kind for company. They will never leave because they no longer trust or care for humans.

Artist Rules
- Read the info so you know what your color limitations are
- You can make 1 AEWD every 2 weeks (so 2 a month, roughly)
- Please don't make any albinos (those, being rare-ish, are for Violet and I to make )
- Please don't do big lineart edits - tiny ones, like an extra tusk or a little spike on the tail, are fine
- Spend a good amount of time on the dragons you make (I'm not asking for 1+ hour(s), just for you to take your time and make some awesome dragons )
- If anyone breaks a rule, tell them that they broke one and inform Violet or me
- Add something extra to the form if you feel like it
- Make art or a story a essential for the form if you want to
- You can make yourself one custom AEWD (number may change later on)
- Have fun!

Customs are OPEN!

Custom dragons are ones that you choose the colors, markings, etc. of. You, and only you, can have a dragon you order here. Each custom artist (artists that have been artists for at least 2 weeks and have adopted out at least 1 dragon) can make one dragon each time customs are open. You may choose a preferred artist (if you have one, put that info in "Other"), but if that artist "doesn't feel up to doing your custom", a different artist will do it. All customs must follow color rules (read the section "About the Ancients" in the post above) or they will be disqualfied. When customs are open (if you post asking for a custom when customs are closed, you will not be eligible for a custom the next time they do open), you may copy the form below, fill it out, and post it. Do not change anything in the form (i.e. color it, resize it, etc.) except the nessecary information (if you color it, resize it, etc., your form will be disqualified). Customs cost one of the artist's wishlist pets. Send the payment after the dragon is finished. If you do not send payment, the dragon will be put up for adoption, you will not be eligible to adopt any other dragons for one week, and you will not be able to get a custom next time they are open.

Breeding is CLOSED/open

Breeding Your Dragons
If you have a male and a female dragon, you may breed them. They will have 1-3 eggs if they are normals, and 1-2 eggs if customs. Mystics cannot breed. You may choose a preferred artist, but if that artist is busy or doesn't want to do the breeding, another artist will do it. If you want to breed your dragons, copy the form below, fill it out, and post it. Breeding costs 1-3 of the artist's wishlist pets per egg/hatchling. Remember - just like with custom forms, Mystic forms, and normal forms, you are not allowed to change anything about the form except to add the nessecary information. You can only keep two eggs (of your choice) at most from each breeding. The one(s) you don't keep will be put up for adoption.

Breeding Your Dragon with Someone Else's
When breeding your dragon with someone else's dragon there will always be at least 2 eggs, that way each of you gets one. If there are 3 eggs (which only happens with normals), you each pick one and the third is put up for adoption. You must both agree on the breeding. You will split the payment however you choose. If you have both agreed to breed your dragons, one of you must post the form below. We will also need the other person to post to say that they agree with the breeding so we have proof. In the 'payment' section of the form, you also need to include the info about who will pay what so we don't get confused.
