The Earth Flight is one of the 11 Elemental Flights in Flight Rising.
Its reigning deity is The Earthshaker, and its members reside in Dragonhome. Earth dragons' eyes come in shades of brown. It is the smallest flight as of February 3rd, 2019.
About
Edit
The Earth dragons of Dragonhome are monument builders. They prefer the consistency and eternal memory of the stone they shape. Of all the dragons, Earth dragons revere their ancestors the most fervently, and remember the most about the First Age. Gemstones are their favored treasures.
Region
Edit
The Earth Flight is centralized in Dragonhome. The land consists of four regions: the Shattered Plain, Greatwyrm's Breach, Cairnstone Rest, and the Pillar of the World. It is located near the top center of the map, bordered by the Plague and Shadow Flight territories, with the Arcane and Nature territories across the water.
Region Image | Description |
---|---|
A rocky, barren expanse of skittering stone and parched, packed dirt, lined and featured with innumerable cracks. It is amongst the larger rocks that the dragons here choose to roost, away from the shards of dancing stone. The difficult labour required to dig and sustain a lair in the Plain is the worst of the area's challenges, however, making it an ideal training ground for those intending to carve a living in the more dangerous parts of ancient Dragonhome. | |
The mighty break in the eggshell-shaped mountain range surrounding the Pillar, named for its visual allusion to the hatching of a newborn dragon. It is said that the gorge reaching westward towards the sea housed the first clans, and the intricate series of networked caverns that dot it support this claim. A storied realm for dragonkind, many of the old lairs here are known for their murals and cave-paintings telling of the ancient feats performed by the Elemental Gods in the shaping of the world. | |
Once an ancient burial ground, the Cairnstone Rest possesses the richest gem deposits in Dragonhome. Prospectors take care to avoid the imposing obelisks and standing stones, heeding well the warnings left for tomb robbers; however, in the digging of mines and expanding lairs, accidents can happen, and more than one clan has been driven from the area by skeletal wyrms. Creatures and dragons have been drawn to the battleground, calling for more to take arms either to defend their living and dead kin, or cull the intruders before too much harm is done. | |
The sorrowful, crumbling remains of the final vestiges of peace between the elemental flights. It is this monument alone that towered above the world, acting as the base of a great magical shield whose purpose was to protect the land from the roaming Shade, a devouring plague of darkness. The Earthshaker has existed here for time immemorial, both guarding and mourning the structure that once held his brothers and sisters together. |

Working a hide of this nature can only be accomplished by Earth dragons, who have a natural affinity in magically manipulating the rough stone-like protrusions along its surface.
This gem can be affected by dragonbreath to capture flame luminosity for a short while. It is not uncommon to see bundles of kunzite hanging from the ceilings of caves in the Dragonhome, used as tunnel lighting for miners and excavators.
