I've decided Kale should be present, but he stays in Dornagal.

Currently, he's alone, shoring up defenses and weeding out void taint; in the city. Wrathion is away, gathering the dragons. He loathes to part from Kale, but Kale is worried about him being too near Xala'tath's fighting grounds, though he knows she can strike from anywhere on the planet if she wished.

It solves my problem; Kale would realistically be involved, but I hate involving him in things if Wrathion isn't there. Alleria and he have quite a few delightful conversations. Kale doesn't care for her, and she's adamant he aid her in mastering the void. She doens't understand how he can have a lover; she refuses to refer to Wrathion as his husband. (This naturally offends Kale.) He must be doing something to stave off the whispers. And yes, he is, but he has no reason to tell her that.

hhh I'm going to use this as an excuse to ramble about my dragon OC lore, which I will put below a readmore:

In my OC world, magic is a kind of energy produced through various means: From within the churning core of the planet, from the moon, from the sun, from the stars, and as a waste product of dragons. Magical energy can be used as a resource by various creatures. Anything produced using magical energy, such as a wizard conjuring a fireball, is the perfect form of that thing; the impossible perfection, the true and ultimate form. Such perfection is otherwise impossible by mundane means, and so magical things tend not to follow the same rules as the mundane. Pure "un-elemental" magic is incredibly unstable, and only comes from unstable sources (like the sun). It tends to settle into a more stable elemental form.

Dragons are magical creatures; only a small portion of their bodies are true flesh-and-blood, the rest is of magical construction. Each dragon is a aligned to a "major" element (fire, water, etc) and a "minor" one (such as "the hunt", "oathkeeping", "vengence", etc). Through embodying their elements they are sustained, though they still eat "mundane" foods - which are digested, converted to magical energy, and excreted as a waste product. My dragons do not fly using mundane means like air. Their wings "hold" magic which they use to power their flight. They hardly flap their wings when flying, other to dispell or re-cast the flight magic. In the world, dragons are godlike beings of great power. They are vain, violent, and uncooperative. There is no collective dragon "society". Their aggressiveness to each other keeps their numbers in check. I made them this way as I felt there's a significant lack of "proper" dragons in the fantasy I read, with dragons either being mere beasts or basically humans. Dragons should be majestic, impossible, and powerful! In contrast, humans are a kind of "sink" for magical energy, absorbing it and turning it to the mundane. Humans cannot produce or store magical energy in their bodies; they must use what is in the environment around them. Though dragons are much more physically and magically powerful, humans have consistent societies, co-operation, and knowledge-sharing which allows them to hold their own against dragons; collecting information and technologies to defeat them. At the current time there is a "pact" between humans and dragons; both sides incur unacceptable losses. Entire human civilizations have been lost forever, razed by dragons. Dragons breed too slowly and kill each other too often to maintain their population if they're also being killed by humans. (The pact will be broken in the future. And reformed again in the future still. Such is the cycle of all things)

also, while we are at it

"my dragon flies because it's magic xdxddxdxd"

fine, acceptable, it's magic. Okay. Even as a biologist I'm willing to give it a pass. God knows that in my space opera project I've went "mumble mumble convergent evolution mumble" for some of my earth-like aliens. The shape is kinda believeable and original, you chose some cool features, it's fine, no need for the whole phylogenetic tree.

Now, why is it magic? what does it mean it is magic?

Were dragons created by a god? are they manifestations of nature? why are dragons, especifically, magic and not say, crocodiles?

Is it a species with physical presence and a life cycle, or are they magical beings? how many dragons are there, how important they are to your world? are they worshipped, feared, venerated, just some kind of weird megafauna but otherwise unremarkable? what do they eat, how much?

If it's a sentient dragon from a physical species, as most modern fiction seems to assume (you'd be surprised that in most medieval works they were mostly mindless beasts or demons, dragons as noble creatures are very much a modern invention in the West) how do they think? How do they act differently from smaller, less powerful, shorter lived species? Do they have their own gods, their own rituals, their own beliefs? Are they lonely beings or are they able, or interested, to form part of society, or even have their own societies?

What's the cultural role of a dragon in the world you're making? What do your characters think when they hear the word 'dragon'? What do they know about dragons, when your hero goes and finds one, what are their conceptions of it? Can they fight it? How? Why?

Notice that most of my questions aren't stupid UNREALISTIC! CINEMASINS DING!, but things that actually affect your characters, setting and plot. Don't like to write a ethnographical paper about dragons? do it anyways or I'll shoot you, don't, but if you're introducing an element to your story, even if you're using stock fantasy elements like dragons, you will benefit A LOT from thinking how they fit into your story.

And even in settings were "it's magic" is acceptable as an answer, or more *surreal* or comedic stories where things happen without too much logic, a dragon is still a symbol. What does your dragon mean in your story? "oh, a magical dragon". Fine. Why is there a dragon on your story? Don't have a whole herpetology paper, because this is just a romance? Okay, can you spare me a couple lines to tell me what does a dragon mean in your world? That too, is yuri worldbuilding.

St Mylor’s Day

Saint Melaire in Chapelle Saint Brieuc. Source: Wikipedia

Today is St Mylore’s Day. Mylore (or Melar or Melaire) was a little known early sixth century Breton saint, who was also venerated in Amesbury Abbey, of which he was the patron saint, in Wiltshire. His lack of biography gave the Breton monks license to in effect invent a predictably gory back story for Mylore. Under the most common account, Mylore is a Breton prince whose father was murdered in time-honoured fashion by his uncle Rivoldus, who then sought to dispense with his nephew too. A council of bishops then intervened and placated the usurper king by decreeing although Mylore should not die, he should have his right hand and left foot cut off and be sent to live a life of contemplation in a monastery. This the long-suffering lad did and found, miraculously, that his prosthetic silver hand and bronze foot worked just as well as flesh and blood. Rivoldus was not satisfied with this turn of events and so had the young saint decapitated. Rivoldus died three days later. Mylore’s head was taken over the Channel to the abbey at Amesbury where it remained, protected by the belief that if anyone attempted to remove the relic, they would meet the same fate as Rivoldus.

The legend is almost entirely made up, but does correlate with the treatment of deposed Eastern Roman Emperors in medieval times who would frequently be mutilated and forced into holy orders to disbar them from the imperial throne.

It is claimed that Amesbury church was founded by Queen Guinevere, who retired there in disgrace after her affair with Lancelot. She is allegedly buried under the building.

Kimani and her Bond

So if you've paid attention to the boring updates about my lore, you'd know Kale has a grand daughter. Actually he has four grand daughters. Nyota, in his attempt to have a boy, tried three seperate times to acquire one, and ended up with 4 wonderful daughters instead. The thing is, his unique talent, the ability to bond a dragon and shape shift into a drake as one enters adolescence, is specific to the male line. Undeterred, Nyota raised Kimani to be a fierce Queen-to-be. But it always upset her that she would never be as her father and grandfather, soaring on the winds with other dragons. As she neared the age of 13, she prayed every night to be able to shapeshift, and was met with nothing. Come the end of Dragonflight, and the flights decide, uniformly, that Kale's line is to blessed by them for his aid in fighting their fight, and restoring the Black Dragonflight to their potential. Merithra, astounded by Kimani's scholarship and bravery (Kimani did some stuff with the Bronzes.) has decided that each female would get a bond of their own, this time by choice rather than happenstance. Gerithus, her son, has chosen Kimani, and she him, and thus, the first bond of the green flight is born. It never set well with me that Kale's power was only on the male line, but it also didn't set well that it could also be granted to females. This is a unique solution that I find great, as it is born of merit rather than birth.

Kale - Nefarian (X) Nyota - Zaladormu Kimani - Gerithus

The line continues...
