Moving Blogs! Without going into too much details, theres too much personal baggage on my main blog, tried to clean it up and i still keep finding things. So I decided to remake, this blog will stay up as an archive but I will not be posting to it anymore. You can now find me at @tiguidou-dragons !

Hello hello! In light of a conversation i had on discord I realised there was a resource I’d not seen on FR that I think the community would much enjoy.

The wishlist directory!

FR is full of generous people who enjoy gifting. The idea is simply that a gifter can snoop around and pick out any random name and their wishlist so have easy access to what that person wants. This only works if people submit their wishlists though, so please go visit the thread and submit yours! Considering Christmas is coming I’m hoping this list will see a lot of use over the next week. happy gifting!

Boosts are very very appreciated. The more people who submit, the more diverse the directory and the easier gifters will have it.

More art of the Big Hunk now that he has a name and outfit! His name is Safir. Idk if he’ll really be part of my FR lore but I’m smitten with him in general. Handsome fat cat.

It’s been a while since i did something interesting. I’ve been wanting to do a human on a dragon for a while, though i didnt expect to do it on a fae. I think i’ll need to try again on a WC or something. :Ia

[tiguidou-rising-archive]

whispers: getting very strong urges to nuke everything again... the circus, beach haus and winterlight company are not safe again...  def keeping the pantheon and labyrinth and farway. and the coli team and the breeding pairs... so it wouldn’t be a total nuke, just a small one... but with the banescale release and notn I don’t think very many people are gonna be interested in buying me dragons....

[tiguidou-rising-archive]

Let’s play a round of let’s-scry-all-the-g1s-(at the back of your lair)-as-the-new-breed game! Yes I have entirely too many ladies, that’s just my hatching luck.

Finally getting back into the swing of art and art sales, work was destroying my spare time, so wanted to try getting out a couple lineart busts as practice!

Adara is on the AH for 400g - Sales Link

Also let me know if people would be interested in more lineart/full color and if so of what type.

[tiguidou-rising-archive]

Of course none of these dragons exist..... potential breeding projects me thinks.

Firebirds: a hypothesis

Heyooo I’m back and at it again folks. BUT this time I’ve used my absolutely massive brain and encyclopedic knowledge of obscure FR lore to 100% accurately predict this upcoming breed:

The Ancient Firebird

“Now yes that wyvern looks totally sick and all,” you say, “but…? What are you basing this off of here, exactly?” Well folks I’ve been on this site too damn long and I intend to put my tooltip trivia to use sooooo here we go

The past two teaser images for this possible ancient both share what appear to be lines from a poem or song- the first also includes some old parchment fragments with music notation written on it. Both images are set in a rocky cave of some sort- in the second, old volcanic vents and flickering firelight can be seen.

Through these hints, we can assume that the concepts of Music and the element of Fire are relevant to this event. That is the assumption I will be operating under for this theory, after all!

As we all know, fire flight’s sole breed, the Coatls, are a feathered, serpentine species with an odd melodic, humming language. They alone speak a tongue unique to the Ashfall Wastes- this makes communication with dragons of different elements difficult. With their language barriers and migratory nesting instincts, it becomes apparent that the fire flight possesses a proud, but somewhat insular culture. They largely keep their stories and culture to themselves.

Also readily apparent is the flight’s association with Birds. This can be seen not only with the coatls’ avian features, but also in the kind of boggling amount of flaming birds that appear on-site as familiars (really, why are there this many? I don’t think there’s this many birds representing storms or anything…? I digress.) The 2017 festival familiar, The Spirit of Fire, is literally the pure, concentrated essence of the element… and is also a bird.

Birds themselves are not only heavily associated with Flight and Song in many cultures (relevant to the teaser images), but on FR, to the very element of fire itself. Flamecaller’s beta concept art features a much more coatl-esque design, as seen below. Later these avian aspects were funneled into the breed itself, instead of the deity- however, the connection is still apparent.

Now, what does all this leave us? An abundance of birdsong and fire, mostly. Have you ever read the captions for the familiars up there? The first two explicitly refer to a creature called a Firebird. The familiar collectors among us may already know, however, that there is nowhere on the site itself where a Firebird can be found- only their mimics and smokey shadows. (This has always struck me as odd- I used to assume I just wasn’t looking through the old bestiary well enough…. ah, the old days…..).

From these lore tidbits, we can assume that not only does a powerful fire-element being exist on FR, but that is an elusive, near-mythical creature (it has ominous smoke ghosts that portend its arrival, for god’s sake…). This Firebird is something very rarely seen, and feared. It is something huge, flaming and soaring high, that wreaks havoc and destruction- just like fire itself.

Fire is the element of change and malleability, after all. Perhaps it’s first children were simply the very embodiment of this concept, taken to its natural extreme. A being of transformation that razes the earth to usher in evolution and new life. An ancient phoenix-dragon, long thought buried and extinguished… that has recently begun to sing out from the earth and take flight. 🦅

Perhaps the powerful, magically-charged magma flow seen in the BOTE lore event Temper, Temper was their doing- or maybe it was the catalyst for their awakening, who can say?

In any case, I am extremely interested in the direction these recent teasers have pointed us- what do you all think will happen? Do you have any thoughts on this theory, or any of your own you’d like to share? Please, come speculate with me!
