Fun Fact
BuzzFeed published a report claiming that Tumblr was utilized as a distribution channel for Russian agents to influence American voting habits during the 2016 presidential election in Feb 2018.
Don't know what to write here. Doodled while on a long drive and finished it at home.
Clay is a paladin, Tsunami is a barbarian because of her loud personality, Glory a ranger, Starflight is your token wizard and I had difficulty determining Sunny's class. She's actually very sneaky in the book (and that her mother is a literal rogue incarnate) and that would push her towards the rogue spectrum, but then her morals come into play and then boom, cleric.
It was too big to be called a sword. Massive, thick, heavy, and far too rough. Indeed, it was a heap of raw iron.
• Sandwing accent is really similar to an Australian accent. I guarantee most non-Australians will get the accent wrong.
•They wear little garments on their tails during busy social gatherings and get them for dragonets that haven’t been tail trained yet. They call them tail chains.
• A common way to symbolise sandwings is a little emblem with a raised tail between two outstretched wings.
• After the War of SandWing Succession, they hold a yearly festival at Jade Mountain Academy, since it’s the only place that no tribe owns. They call it a few different names, e.g. The Comet Festival, The Dragonbite Festival, but most of them like to call it the Sunny festival, since she finished the war.
• Little capsule necklaces of sand and water, symbolising an oasis, are worn as good luck charms.
• They LOVE to make jewellery, especially for festivals. Around the time of the Dragonbite Festival, they make little bracelets, earrings, necklaces and tail chains, with little comets on them, some have a Dragonbite viper interacting with the comet in some way, and some just have the Dragonbite Viper coiled up.
•Stonemover always chills with timid dragons who are avoiding crowds, and Sunny added cushions for them all to vibe with him and encourage them to chat with him

Another thought I’ve been having relates back to The Scorching, the history behind it, and how much of a good twist it was to throw out. I don’t know if it was planned or a convenient retcon, but it works on so many levels thanks to the themes already present. It also leads to some interesting theories.
Burn could never have been queen. The first action we see her do in the books is destroy an egg due to hatch within the next few nights. It’s cruel, and most of all, it sealed her fate. The kingdoms were founded on the blood and tears of furious mothers, broken hearted from losing their eggs and determined to keep their broods safe. Burn couldn’t have been queen, because that is not what a queen should be. Thorn takes the throne because she took over a city, created an army, and fought tooth and claw to find and save her lost dragonet, despite the odds.
Glory takes the throne because she is the dragonet who should have been cared for. She should have been seen, noticed, and saved. She wants to be queen not to have the nicest things, but because someone should care when a dragonet disappears. The first dragon she rescues is a dragonet. She is worthy because Grandeur gave up on her dragonets and her tribe, but Glory refused to give up.
Coral isn’t a good dragon; her abuses and her absolute classist nature are abhorrent. However, she is marked by her craze as she watched as so many of her daughters were crushed in their eggs. The horror of losing a child is what marks a queen, in some shape or form. Orca was not worthy of the throne, because before she even challenged her mother, she devised a way to kill every dragonet that could challenge her before they so much as crawled out of their egg.
What one truly has to wonder is when the rules changed. When did it become a rule that to become queen, there had to be a fight to the death? When did mothers find themselves pitted against daughters, sisters, nieces, all for the power of the throne she has? Who came up with the deadly challenge?
