The Wind Flight is one of the 11 Elemental Flights in Flight Rising.
Its reigning deity is The Windsinger, and its members reside in the Windswept Plateau. Wind dragons' eyes come in shades of light and bluish-green. It is the 4th largest flight as of June 29th, 2022.
About[]
The Wind dragons of the Windswept Plateau are explorers. They prefer to be joyful and carefree, like the gentle and playful breezes that whisk them to new lands. Of all the dragons, Wind dragons are the most friendly, eager to become a small part of every community they encounter before they eventually and inevitably leave, following the currents in pursuit of a new adventure. Maps, compasses, and feathers are their favored treasures.
Region[]
The Wind Flight is centralized in the Windswept Plateau. The Plateau is bordered by the Arcane, Plague, Water, and Fire Flight territories, with the Ice Flight territory directly across the water.
The Bamboo Falls Coliseum venue is likely located within Singer's Brook.
Region Image | Description |
---|---|
The most peaceful place in all the world. Fledgling clans and families nestle within the bushes that line each grassy steppe, and calming breezes coax hatchlings to learn to fly much earlier in their life than other dragons. These plots of terrain physically embody the first chapters of each dragon's rite to become closer to the sky. | |
An ancient magical apparatus built to monitor the ley energies flowing throughout the Windswept Plateau. The Gale Sanctum provides invaluable analysis on the strength of latent wind magic and relays it directly to the Oculus of the Eleven, where it is monitored and researched by skilled magisters and scholars. | |
The bridging test of wind dragons' aptitude towards adulthood is the Ascent, a series of reed-covered cliffs through which the strongest of the region's air currents pass. Each pillar is higher than the one before it, creating the illusion of a fractured slope. These stairs are separated by open air, and rushing rapids can be seen far, far below. | |
The ever-turning windmills that dot this landscape have multiple purposes. From grinding to sawing to irrigation, the traditionally laidback dragons of wind earn their keep on these farms—with a little help from the gusts, of course. Most impressive are the windmills' unique magical ability to efficiently recycle their source of power. Not only do they benefit from wind, they also help contribute to it! | |
The final trial of the Windsinger's children is a powerful vortex on the western shore. This great storm has raged for thousands of years, and is said to be the residual effect of an ancient time in which the gods of air and ice quarreled. Torrents of angry air pull clouds in an aggressive spiral, and even the most adept wind dragons avoid the eye, a place from which many rarely return. | |
Nestled in a low pocket of coastline beneath towering cliffs, Singer's Brook is a place of tranquil stillness in an eternal storm. The contrast is clear when one visits the area; the howls and gusts fall away, replaced with the serene calls of birds and the babbling of streams that meander between the rocks and trees. | |
A floating array of kites and platforms, crafted and maintained by the oldest clans in the region. Of the set, the largest kite resembles the Windsinger himself, his laughing visage constructed out of leather bladders and sturdy paper sails. Reed balconies and walkways connect each disc to the next, creating a giant slithering community in the sky. | |
Spurred to action after the Twisting Crescendo temporarily halted its eternal churn, Wind dragons revitalized this once-ruined temple to its former glory. Beyond its role as a bustling city, Aergate played a pivotal role while the region was devoid of its signature gusts and zephyrs. The magically-rotating ring apparatuses provided dragons with a path to higher currents, allowing crucial couriers and travelers the needed boost to traverse the plateau during a time of crisis. |
