Drip, Drop, Drip.
The rain slides down his face. His gaze unfazed as he slowly treks forward, claws hooked on the rocks edges, hauling up and up as he climbs. He doesn't even remember what he's climbing for. The fire upon his torch of wood flicks and flickers, protected by his sheltering wing. He narrows his eyes and made the final heave, wind knocking the flame as it fought to blow it away. He powers forward once more and finally reaches the top, gazing forward at the cliff. Just where he needed to be, and right on time too. Soaring up from the depths came a thin dragon, eyes black and reflecting the dim fire light, sending it dancing upon their silvery scales. He spoke no words, his talons planted against the rocks, his eyes meeting theirs.

And no one moved. Even the rain paused. The bugs did not hum. And the rocks did not creak. And so there was silence.

Welcome to Gentle Rain, my newest Wings of Fire RP. In this RP we will be traveling far from our heroes, and allowing new ones to take their place. So today, we introduce our tribes. The tribes of what we call The Drifting Continent. It's not actually moving or anything, it was merely named this for its few enchanted islands.
But as for the tribes? There are three.
The SwampWings.
The LividWings.
And The StormWings.

First the SwampWings.
The SwampWings are much like MudWings, but have many unique attributes. These dragons are very very large, as well a very sturdily built. Males are bulky and reach at the most, 8 feet at the top of their horns but can vary in size. Females are normally a bit slimmer and have different scale patterns, as well as being a little smaller than males, reaching 7 1/2 feet at the largest, but can even be about 4 feet at the smallest, which isn't very common. These dragons are venomous, some having a deadly bite, certain spikes on their bodies being poisonous, or even having a barbed tail much like SandWings. SwampWings' teeth can either be flat or extremely sharp, and they often contain the deadly venom they possess in some way or another. These dragons are often soft browns, purples, misty grays, gentle greens, or darker colors of brown and their spikes and talons often have small color splashes as well, and their horns can curl around their ears much like a ram, be curved just slightly, or some can even become much like a buck's horns. Their tails are thick, but flexible, and very strong, which allows SwampWings to knock over trees if they need to, knock out an opponent, and even carry objects such as lumber and rock. SwampWings have a king and queen to rule them, but these dragons do not act as though they are above their tribe mates, even fighting and sometimes living along side them. Princes and Princesses grow up among their people, attend schools with other dragonets, and learn to fight, hunt, build, and do other things together. The SwampWings are a normally very healthy tribe, their healers being very skilled and those of the tribe being very resilient to illness, but illness is not unlikely to occur, so they beware the harsh cough, the sputtering of blood, or the strange growths that can sometimes be spotted on elder dragons. Blindness is also not uncommon, and is sometimes inflicted upon some, as well as deafness or muteness. Their territory is made up of swamps, marshes, and several different landforms such as a large plateaus and cliffs that most buildings are built on or into, different marsh types, and other things of the nature.
Animus Scale:
Highly unlikely, only about 1 or 2 every 10 years.
Current Queen:
Mire
Current King:
Caiman
Princess(es):
Iris
Prince(s):
Egret

Next the LividWings.
LividWings are slim creatures that very greatly in size. They can be extremely small, reaching only 3 feet or very large, reaching 10 1/2 feet at the tips of their horns. It all depends on the parents and your health conditions. These dragons are normally silvery colors, with black or golden eyes and splashes of color. They normally have curved horns, some branching up, others curving down. They have gentle, slimming tails that become whip thin. This tail provides these creatures of the day a feeler at night. The moon blinds these dragons while firelight allows them to see once more, and burns the scales of albino LividWings. All though it's not common, Albinism is something that does occur, leaving them susceptible to sensitive scales and lots of health conditions. These dragons often loom underground at night and resurface upon their cliffs durning the day. They like to sleep at these times of night, curling up in their comfortable nests beside one another. These dragons have little power, but these dragons do release a haze when in danger, this can put a dragon to sleep, or kill them with a venomous haze, as well as harness fire, but this ability is rare. Regular blindness is actually very common, but these blind dragons will have other senses heightened, especially hearing. LividWings are also very quick creatures, they are quick fliers and are very very agile and flexible. They are very very smart creatures as well and are extremely tactical, which is most of the reason that they are left alone by the other tribes, as well as the fact they have no reason to attack this group. This tribe is lead by one simple commander, no king, no queen, just a commander and his or her fellow commanders. LividWings roam among the mountains, alps, and hills, they control this area, owning the cliffs and plateaus not belonging to the SwampWings. With their swiftness and flexibility, they can quickly construct buildings and homes for themselves among the rocks, using lumber they trade for with the SwampWings and some forms of rocks they need from the StormWings.
Animus Scale:
Uncommon but not impossible, at least 4 are born every 10 years.
Current Commander:
Commander Dust Storm (Dust)
Fellow Commanders:
Commander Gentle Rain (Rain), Commander Sandstone, and Commander Nephrite

Next the StormWings. (A tribe made by me and my dude XxBlodreinaxX a long time ago- Can also be themed after other natural disasters like earthquakes, tsunamis, and things of the such)
The StormWings are very very large dragons with extremely large wings. They are quick creatures with a range of abilities. These dragons are often named after storms and weather conditions, as well as a few miscellaneous names. These dragons are normally pretty bulky, but some are a little slimmer and more built for speed and agility, while others are built for strength and attacks. These dragons are normally of paler colors, such as grey, gentle green, soft purple, pastel blue, pale yellow, eggshell white, dull red, or colors of the such (basically slap any color on them that isn't too absurd and matches their name :/) . Their horns can range in size and shape, most often curving around their ears though. Their tails however are consistently very thin and flexible, allowing the transfer of power to be easy when they launch an attack. Though some can be extremely thick to deliver harsh blows to the ground. These dragons can harness small amounts of weather, such as a quick bought of hurricane strength winds, a shower of heavy rain, icy wind, temporary bursts of snow, you name it. These dragons are skilled hunters and fighters, not being very strong in building, they take shelter in huts simply made of slabs of stone pressed together or those whom can build create small villages of huts. Health is a common problem among these dragons, the dragons that produce colder weather are often susceptible to hypothermia or pneumonia from overuse of their power, or a heat stroke for those whom dictate heat. Blindness is very very uncommon, being mute as well, but some dragons often deafen themselves with an overuse of power if their power releases thunder or something of the like. Their powers are not dubbed animus, and should not be viewed as such, these dragons are gifted these powers through unknown ways, and do not share with other tribes. These dragons are very secretive and aggressive, though they are always open to trade, and make sure the other tribes are provided what they need, as they attempt to stray from war, though would not be afraid to fight if so necessary. (All threat comes from outside the continent) These dragons are commonly found among three levitating islands around the continent, hollowing into the sides to make homes, building upon the generated landforms the islands make, and can even live under the generated water sources in huts made for the dragons whom inhabit the water. Each island has its own climate as well, Amon, the first island, is a rainforest like biome, as well as being spotted with a few temperate areas, storm themed dragons dwell in these areas. Onden, the second island, is mostly rocky and mountainous with a series of streams and lakes, as well as small valleys of trees, as well as a small desert biome, each biome has different types of huts, some built into the ground, the mountains, into the trees, or near the streams, Earthquake dragons live under the ground, avalanche dragons live in the mountains along with landslide dragons, and small flood dragons live near the streams and lakes. The last island, Seca, has the most temperate climate, consisting of primarily forest and flatland, as well as a sea, storm, hurricane, tornado, flood and tsunami dragons live in this area. StormWings are lead by three different kings, each for an island, and all brothers. No female leader has yet been recorded. But clearly they have not spotted the ailing kings, only having two Princes, and one princess whom will take the throne of her father.
Animus Rate:
Extremely Rare, one is born every 10-20 years.
Current Kings:
Hurricane Maritime (King of Seca), Iceblink (King of Oden), and Leviathan (King of Seca)

Current Prince(s):
Stratus (Son of Maritime), Flurry (Son of Iceblink) (very feminine little boy-)

Current Princess(es):
Nereid (Daughter of Leviathan)
