Light Flight

The Light Flight is one of the 11 Elemental Flights in Flight Rising.

Its reigning deity is The Lightweaver, and its members reside in the Sunbeam Ruins. Light dragons' eyes come in shades of gold. It is the 8th largest flight as of June 29th, 2022.

About[]

The Light dragons of the Sunbeam Ruins are philosophers. They prefer to be unbiased and logical, revealing the nature of the world as do the rays of the sun. Of all the dragons, Light dragons are the most scholarly, holding the pursuit of truth as the highest virtue a dragon might aspire to. Scrolls and relics are their favored treasures.

Region[]

The Light Flight is centralized in the Sunbeam Ruins. The Ruins are bordered by the Shadow, Water, and Lightning Flight territories, with the Nature Flight territory as a neighboring island.

The Waterway is a Coliseum venue that is potentially located in the sewers underneath the Hewn City.

Region Image	Description
^{Sundial Terrace}	Little is known about the original architects of the giant sundial, but many continue to study feverishly to understand its origins. Each summer, on the longest day of the year, dragons from all over the world gather around the monument and etch the outline of its giant shadow into the stone floors of the terrace, an activity that has been practiced since before the Light dragons ever settled.
^{Daylight Sanctum}	An ancient magical apparatus built to monitor the ley energies flowing throughout the Sunbeam Ruins. The Daylight Sanctum provides invaluable analysis on the strength of latent light magic and relays it directly to the Oculus of the Eleven, where it is monitored and researched by skilled magisters and scholars.
^{Mirrorlight Promenade}	A massive, decorative expanse of ancient architecture, angled to perfectly line up with the rising and setting of the sun. Hundreds of crumbling pillars exist as totems to families and clans that call this platform home. Adolescent dragons practice taking flight and landing along its narrow walkways, and hatchlings play in its many crevices and on its majestic stairwells.
^{Emperor's Wake}	A fusion of dessicated Imperial corpses foolishly left unburied, Luminax is the first risen Emperor to roam Sornieth in centuries. Within the chunks of dredged earth created by the monstrosity's march through the ruins, crafty adventurers and archaeologists brave enough to explore this dangerous and menacing area continue to uncover valuable relics and traces of civilizations past that might have taken years to find otherwise. None linger too long, though, keeping their eyes on the horizon for the trampling behemoth.
^{The Hewn City}	Aruined, skeletal landscape of shattered structures, gripped by a shade that boggles even the Light dragonflight's most studious archaeologists. In this broken city lay secrets that are too mysterious to unearth, and even the bravest dragons are given pause when approaching its haunted outskirts.
^Moonportal	The crumbling stone arch of the Moonportal has lain dormant for millennia. Once a lonely monument decaying in the long march through time, its true purpose recently revealed itself. Blazing back to life as a transfer device to and from the Sunbeam Ruins, the Moonportal has reconnected with its sister arch, the Sunportal, which is located at the bottom of a shrouded pool in the Tangled Wood.
^{The Beacon of the Radiant Eye}	A crumbled, but welcoming tower that resides on the eastern seaboard. From this cliff, the Lightweaver watches and waits for any dragon that may be making a trip across the sea. It is an important vantage point; she can survey the golden rolling hills speckled with ruins and redwoods, and see everywhere the light touches.
^{Lanternlea Port}	The greatest discoveries of the region's lightsworn scholars are archived in this quaint coastal village. Unlike most areas within the Sunbeam Ruins, Lanternlea Port spends most of the waking hours drenched in the shade of the oceankissed cliffs and the day-to-day bustle is illuminated by bright glass orb lanterns, maintained to a brilliant sheen.
