Cascade's Backstory

TW: Abuse, Murder, Depression

Cascade has been through a lot.

The only child born in a royal family with her mother deciding not to have any more kids, Cascade was forced into the role of future queen from hatching. She never wanted this role - she never wanted to be queen, to rule WaterPact. She didn't know how she was going to carry on the bloodline either, being aroace and not wanting a relationship like that.

Not like her parents listened. Her mother, Queen Waterfall was always busy, liking to get into the politics of her pact and leaving most royal tutoring to various teachers. Her father Alligator, on the other hand, paid too much attention to her. Alligator was controlling, barely letting her out of his sight and controlling who she could speak to. In front of others, he was just a watchful eye, but behind closed doors, he'd put her down and make her feel like she couldn't live without him. Sometimes he'd even hit her, but he was careful to do it where it wouldn't show.

Cascade severely wished for attention from her mother, but when Queen Waterfall joined PoisonPact in defending their land from FrozenPact and GloomPact, there was no chance she could talk to her, as the queen had gone to the battlefield.

Alligator took this time to get further into Cascade's head. Alligator's end goal was to have a puppet that he could control. In WaterPact, only females (cis or trans) can take the throne, and so the best way he could take the throne was through controlling either his mate or daughter. Queen Waterfall could easily leave him and she was strong-willed. Cascade, on the other hand, was ripe for the picking, he thought.

Alligator took his time and eventually convinced Cascade to do something terrible. Her mother never paid attention to her, so why should she stick around? Cascade flew to the battlefield to meet her mother. She confronted her, and with the help of a FrozenPacter Alligator knew, killed Queen Waterfall and staged her death to look like a FrozenPacter had killed her.

Cascade returned home, distraught and guilty. She fell into a depression for months, barely eating or leaving her room. Alligator berated her but it changed little. Cascade began to realise who Alligator really was, and eventually one day she snapped. She flew into a rage and attacked him. The fight was brutal, but eventually, she prevailed and killed her father. Sobbing, she called out for guards, telling them someone had come into her room and tried to kill her. She said her father had defended her and died saving her, which was a noble death he didn't deserve but covered up her crime. The assassin had fleed she said, and the guards believed her.

Cascade has ruled her pact for two years now. She doesn't feel very capable and is wracked with guilt and nightmares from what she has done. Her closest friend lives in another pact and often they can only communicate with secret letters.

Dragocat names

So you've probably seen some of the character names and thought "those are weird ass names". You're not wrong. The names are inspired by Wings of Fire and Warrior Cat names but with my own little twist. Names are different for each pact, and I'll explain them below!

GloomPact: - The structure of names is PrefixSuffix. - Prefix: Dark words, nocturnal animals, rock words, smoke words, dark gemstones. - Suffix: Body features such as eye, claw, wing, scale, fur, etc. Word starts with a capital letter.

ElectricPact: - The structure of names is Prefixstorm. - Prefix: Bird names, storms, speed and electricity words, metals, cloud types. - Suffix: storm. Starts with a lowercase letter.

WaterPact: - The structure of names is Prefix. - Prefix: Water words, water animals, water plants, water places, blue and green gemstones, water colours. - Suffix: None.

DesertPact: - The structure of names is Prefix-Suffix. - Prefix: Desert animals, desert plants, desert things, desert places, desert colours, gold/yellow gemstones. - Suffix: -Name of father. DesertPact dragocats without a father end their name in -.

HeatPact: - The structure of names is PrefixSuffix. - Prefix: Volcano words, fire words, hot words, volcano places, fire-coloured gemstones, fire colours. - Suffix: The name of the HeatPact leader whose rule they were born during. Starts with a capital letter.

PoisonPact: - The structure of names is Prefixsuffix. - Prefix: Snakes, trees, poisonous and venomous animals and plants, carnivorous plants, marsh and swamp words, green gemstones. - Suffix: fang, claw, tooth or talon. Word starts with a lowercase letter.

FrozenPact: - The structure of names is Frozen’Suffix. - Prefix: Frozen'. - Suffix: Ice words, cold places, cold place animals, cold colours, cold colour gemstones.

Dragons: - Typical fantasy naming conventions (I think) - The dragon language does not include the letter F, and RR is a letter (audibly it is a rolled r sound). Certain letters are more common than others.

Alright I can't choose what to post, what we thinking?

I'm going to colour some art of Cascade and Walrus soon so that'll be a future post.

I realised the asks were turned off so I've fixed that now 👍

Important Locations!

Epror is the name of the continent that the dragocats live on. Here are some important locations on the continent:

GloomPact Territory: GloomPact territory is located on the "tail" of the continent. The territory is mostly deciduous forest and grassy fields with small rocky patches, however GloomPact dragocats mainly live underground in claw carved cities and tunnels.

ElectricPact Territory: ElectricPact territory is located on the eastern "wing" of the continent. The territory is mostly bamboo forest with mountains and a little bit of forest. ElectricPact dragocats mostly live in the mountains.

WaterPact Territory: WaterPact territory is located to the west of the continent in the ocean and on the islands located there, as well as the lake and river slightly inland on the west of the continent. Forest surrounds the lake and river.

DesertPact Territory: DesertPact territory is located in the northwest of the continent in the "head". The southern part of DesertPact territory is savannah and the northern part is desert, with dragocats living in both biomes.

HeatPact Territory: HeatPact territory is located in the north of the continent. It is mostly volcanic rock and soil with patches of geothermal areas like geysers, hot pools and mud pools. There are dormant volcanoes in the territory, and the HeatPact palace is built into an extinct volcano.

PoisonPact Territory: PoisonPact territory is located in the southwest of the continent. The territory is deciduous forest in the north, marsh in the south, and a mix in the middle of the territory (swamp).

FrozenPact Territory: FrozenPact territory is located in the south of the continent. The north of the territory is taiga, which turns into tundra and then polar desert the more south you go.

The City: The City is located in the centre of the continent. It is a city created and lived in by dragocats of all pacts.

The Slums/The Community: The Slums is an area of ramshackle and temporary buildings on the edge of The City. Dragocats who cannot live in The City and their original pacts for reasons such as crimes and being hybrids/half-pact live in The Slums. From the outside The Slums are viewed as dangerous and lawless, but from within The Slums are known as The Community and are a close knit community.

Hello and welcome to the Tales of Epror blog!

Epror is inspired by Warrior Cats, Wings of Fire and D&D.

Dragocats are the intelligent species that inhabit the world of Epror. Epror was once inhabited by dragons, but they disappeared thousands of years ago before dragocats existed.
