Stargaze: Knowledge is knowing tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.
Skobeloff: Philosophy is wondering if that makes ketchup a smoothie.
Shieldwing: Common sense is knowing that ketchup isn't a smoothie.
Shieldwing: You nasty.

A while back, I spoke at length about Skobeloff's parents, but never managed to get around to his siblings. Well now I have. Behold!

Blanc (Dre/Drem): An Academic of House Semscale. The book dre carries with drem is Lung-Kwan’s Famous Dragons and What They Did. Blanc and Skobeloff don't really see each other all that much. And while he has no solid evidence to back it up, Skobeloff has this vague feeling that it's because Blanc is afraid of him.

Chrome (They/Them): A Crafter of House Rothscar. Their mediums are writing, directing, and instruments. They aspire to leave behind a great theatrical legacy. Skobeloff aids them in this goal whenever he can.

Rainbow (He/Him): A Daredevil of House Rothscar. His beast companion is a snigen (a snake/pig/chicken) called Breakfast. Named after the fact that it lays a few eggs and sheds its skin every morning. The eggs are delicious and the shed skin can be turned into an equally tasty bacon. Rainbow sometimes shares the surplus with Skobeloff.

Cobalt (He/Him): An Elementalist of House Myndoth. He most often uses his elemental constructs as a way to cast shadow magic without exposing himself to its dangers. Skobeloff is slightly concerned by this habit.

Confetti (Dre/Drem): An Envoy of House Brynback known for their high society parties. Skobeloff makes a habit of gatecrashing any event hosted by drem.

Marigold (She/Her): A Nature Adept of House Myndoth. She is a precious cinnamon roll whose default reaction to even the most minor issue or decision is to consult her spirit guide and do whatever it says. Everyone who knows Marigold have, at one point or another, taken the spirit aside and explained to it in great detail the consequences that taking advantage of this over reliance will bring.

Zahavel (They/Them): An Orphan on the Path of Trials. They were raised by angel society rather than dragon society. Quillfeather, a good friend to the angels of New Nicaea, brought Zahavel to the Moonlit isles around the same time Skobeloff and his siblings left the Hatchery. This caused some of them, Skobeloff included, to see Zahavel as something of an adopted sibling. The Seers have foretold a prophecy that Zahavel will discover a dark secret of the Moons and uncover a shadowy, dragon conspiracy. Zahavel eagerly seeks to bring about this prophecy and Skobeloff helps them where he can.

Nova (She/Her): A Rebel who cut ties with House Kebros under encouragement from Redwing prior to his fall to the Darkness. She really enjoys using the stand up to a superior move, to the point that using it is a kneejerk reaction to encountering anyone older than her. She is also Skobeloff's chief co-conspirator in his plot to return Redwing from his Shadowself.

Mosaic (He/They): A Seer of House Semscale. He mysteriously appears from time to time, gives some sort of warning or advice in alliterative verse, and then vanishes as quickly as they arrived.

Terracotta (She/They): A Warrior of House Brynback. She possesses a large and valuable hoard and recently became affiliated with the Ancestral Guardians, a highly controversial movement of Warriors who augment their combat prowess with shadow magic and then look to other clutches' example to keep from becoming their Shadowselves. Skobeloff has been keeping a close eye on Terracotta for any sign of them succumbing to the same dangers that have already claimed half of their parents.

Ooh, nice to see you using the dre/drem/dris pronouns for some of Skobeloff's siblings.

Fun fact: for those who don't know, the Epyllion books state that dragons not only don't have a biological sex, but they also don't have a gender, and use a custom pronoun for dragons. They didn't use she, he or they, they used 'dre'. However, when I started this roleplay, I was worried people might have trouble with the unique pronoun so I was just like "Yeah, dragons are still sexless, but they can use any pronouns they so please." However, the 'dre/drem/dris' pronouns still exist in this setting. In fact that was the pronoun all dragons used to use during the early days of dragon society, before dragons became more acquainted with other species. It's considered quite 'traditional' to use it. Considering Blanc and Confetti are an Academic and an Envoy respectively, it's actually kinda a neat touch for those two to use it.

But yeah, lore dumping aside, thank you Rush for giving me more interesting NPCs to reference in the future. It's always appreciated, and I always enjoy seeing what extra details you guys come up with for your characters.

I just reread this and realised Rush has made angels canon to Adulare...

That's two sets of mythical creatures I've added to the canon now.

Actually four: kitsune, bugbears, hags and angels.

Yes, I am keeping track.

Sorry for the silence. Been busy and wanted to give Digi some time to respond. However, after messaging him a couple of times, I haven't gotten a response. As such, I will be making a new post in the next few days.

Yeah you know what, that actually might be a good idea. I was getting a little stumped on how to progress with Skobeloff and Stargaze's part, and this might help.

In that case, I rolled a 5 to traverse the wilderness. Skobeloff will use this failure to fuel a round of the Long Game. With a roll of Double Sixes, Skobeloff will create an opportunity and seize a position or resource.
