Windbreak City

== Overview ==
Situated within The Windswept Plateau and a dragon's tail sweep away from the Sea of a Thousand Currents, the city serves as a resting spot for most and a home for many. Formerly split as 3 separate clans, but an alliance between them lead to the eventual construction of the town.
Currently watched over by 8 leaders and a council consisting of dragons that hold experience and knowledge that have been living in Windsinger's domain for many years, the city is known for its protection and kind-heartedness. The residents tend to know each other well and get along smoothly despite any drama or events that may take place.
== History ==
=== Small Beginnings ===
Windbreak's first beginnings sprung up from the first two founders of one of the three former clans, these two founders and former leaders would be known as Borealis and Ravine, who started out with nothing or no one but themselves. They travelled the land in search of something to fulfill their lives and found each other in their ventures. The two became friends rather quickly, getting along almost instantly, helping them to realize what they wanted to do.
They sought out a place to call home, which would end up being the Zephyr Steppes, where they discovered a small cave to claim for themselves and start their dream. A dream of creating a clan to help others find who they are in their lives as well as to find happiness and fulfillment. It was while they were trying to figure just exactly how to start up this clan and what its name should be that Ravine found a few stray hatchlings out in the wilderness on their own, in which he didn't hesitate to take him in. The two dragons would care for them as they grew up with time, the dragon couple finding a name for their new found clan: The Lycan Tribe.
These first few members would become to be known as Nocturna, Cloudleap, Rajani, and Leafdrop. Later on, they would be joined by Irani, Spiritfalcon, Stormstrike, and Desdemona, all of them helping to form The Lycan Tribe over time.
=== Places to Call Home ===
Once they grew up, the first dragons of The Lycan Tribe came to find who they were and who they found special in their lives. This would mean the clan gained its first few dragons that would be hatched and raised all within the cave that was expanded as they slowly but surely grew in size. These first few clan-born members would be Usha, Zephyr, and Hazelfeather, kin of the original members. Shortly after their hatching, a young dragonet by the name of Virochan had come across their territory by accident and was taken in. Days passed by quickly and once they were fully grown, Hazelfeather and Virochan would have a daughter together named Evniki.
Shortly after Evniki came to the world, several more dragonets were taken in under the tribe's wings, all of the hatchlings, including Evniki, growing up close to one another despite any troubles they experienced between one another. Although the tribe growing in size was a great milestone for Borealis and Ravine, the two leaders found themselves low on den space with how slow it was taking to carve out each one by claw. After some consulting with the members, it was decided upon that Usha and Zephyr would willingly head off to separate tribes that had recently allied with. Usha was sent to the Tangled Woods while Zephyr would be sent off to the Viridian Labyrinth, only to be heard from through the occasional letters.
After the pair's departure, trades between the three allied clans became frequent, the den was expanded as more dragons joined the tribe. They were thriving with no concerns on their mind at the moment.
=== Diminishing Funds ===
The Lycan Tribe grew to become more independent on just themselves while connection between the clans in other territories dwindled down more and more each day until it was basically non existent while a new alliance bloomed with The Lost Seas Tribe over in the Sea of a Thousand Currents.
Meanwhile, a desperate wildclaw comes across the lair by the name of Hexawing, following behind her brother, Hexowing, as well as her son and his mate, Legolas and Thorn. They would've travelled all the way from Dragonhome, looking for shelter and a place to rest. Hexawing informs the tribe about her former clan, and how food suddenly went sparse in their territory, causing them to enter a famine and caused the clan to slowly drift apart, dragons departing to find a better life.
Despite lair space starting to go thin once more, they accept their request to join them and two of their own members, Zamir and Nyx, are sent off to Dragonhome to see if there were any other dragons of this clan left, and if so, to bring them back to The Lycan Tribe. Once they reached the location, the only dragon they found to remain would be Pestilence, Hexawing's significant other and Legolas's father, who they led back to their home and reunited the family together.
Shortly after, Usha would return to the tribe as well, no longer being needed for the clan back in the Tangled Woods, now having some experience in medicine as well as a few new fighting techniques. A while later, Zephyr returned as well, having felt home-sick nor no longer necessary for the clan to run in the Viridian Labyrinth.
Once he was nursed back to health, Pestilence would pay his debt by going out into the wilderness, despite any threats of monsters, to gather up resources for the clan. Soon, he would be taking Usha and Cloudleap along with him at their request, helping to train them, showing them the best way to gather certain items and teaching them items that were most valuable. Despite this, their attempts at raising the funds of the tribe could barely be noticed and the tribe's lair was coming to be quite crowded.
Although there were troubles at the time, the alliance between The Lycan Tribe and The Lost Seas Tribe tightened and became stronger.
=== New Reign ===
Borealis was beginning to become stressed as the tribe didn't want to turn away any dragons that came upon their path, but at the same time, their lair space was running thin and dragons were started to complain about it being crowded within the cavern. As long as if they didn't gain anymore dragons and kept their population at what it was at, they would be fine.
Which didn't last long for Rudyard turned up with a hatchling in tow. Despite the many grievances she knew they would cause, Borealis decided that the dragonet could stay as long as if Rudyard made sure to care for them and that they wouldn't get in the way of anything. Rudyard greed, soon after deciding to name her Velvel and did his best to try and get her to settle nicely into the clan, even if some of the members weren't exactly keen on there being more dragons. It didn't help when her brother, Rezso, had showed up the next day, having followed Rudyard all the way back to the lair, wanting to stay with his sister.
Divides and quarrels between dragons in the clan became common over the time the two siblings grew up. Wanting the best for the tribe and to prove their worth to any dragon that thought negatively of them, they looked into ways of how to keep track of the clan's funds, as well as how to better organize everyone and their different jobs.
It took a while, but dragons soon started to follow their advice, despite the two not being leaders, and it was clear that they knew what they were doing. After some careful consideration, Borealis and Ravine step down from their leadership position and hand it over to Velvel and Rezso. Under their rule, the tribe flourished once more back to what it once was. Despite their best efforts, they had trouble mending the breaks in the tribe and eventually, with the help of Ravage, the clan split into two, the new faction calling themselves the Draven Division. Shortly after, a third clan, the Abide Legion, popped up in nearby territories as well, not helping the situation of a potential full on war between the Lycan and Draven tribes. It didn't help a similar thing had happened to their allies, The Lost Seas Tribe, where a few dragons split off and formed The Hidden Depths Tribe that caused trouble between both Lycan and Lost Seas.
Months filled with trouble, tension, and a few fights here and there, the leaders of the Lycan, Draven, and Abide tribes decided to meet together to find some sort of truce to end the whole ordeal. At the end of the meeting filled with lots of bickering and general arguing, a truce was formed.
=== Haven ===
Shortly after the truce, a plan was announced that the clans would be disbanded, and in their place they would build a city in a location nearby that had yet to be claimed by any of the tribes at the time. Instead of always fighting between one another, they would form a place where every dragon would feel welcomed, a safe haven of sorts, just like what Borealis and Ravine had in mind when they formed the Lycan Tribe in the first place.
When construction of the city finished, the move over from the caverns to proper homes went smoothly, most dragons adjusting quickly to there no longer being any defined faction that split one another apart. The former leaders of the three tribes would become the leaders of the city, now named Windbreak, together, as well as there being a council to help with with any decisions being made for the city as a whole. These leaders would be Velvel, Rezso, Ravage, Undaunted, and Disease.
Wanting there be a leader who was not influenced by the tribes that were now long gone, since the divides between the leaders could still be seen here and there, Ravage consulted the council about finding a dragonet to raise into the role of leader, not knowing if the other leaders would be fond of such an idea. Agreeing to the idea, Ravage heads out on an expedition, soon returning with a young wildclaw, who named himself Warp.
Once word of Warp got out, and the effort proving to be a success as the wildclaw soon came out to be a generally neutral leader, the want for a few more, un-influenced dragons become a bit bigger, which resulted in the new addition of another wildclaw and a skydancer, who would soon be named Nurya and Orvadasp respectively.
=== Vexation (Present Day) ===
Windbreak was at peace and calm as tensions were now gone and the city would be running smoothly.
It wasn't until Azar was attacked by a primal eyed wildclaw that went by the name Raamiah that things started to be a bit concerning for the city. Azar had been ambushed and narrowly escaped being hit by a lightning blast before his brother, Caled, quickly intervened and chased off the opposing wildclaw. Turns out, there was suddenly a rogue group of primal eyed dragons that call themselves the Wayfarers hiding out on their territory. The city, as well as the outposts that laid around the territory, were put on high alert as the dragons from the group started to make more and more appearances, attacking dragons at random, their motives unknown.
During this, the city would make a new type of alliance with the small crew of a ship named The Pike, who have agreed to bring them all sorts of materials from all over Sornieth and also guide any dragons looking for a place to stay to them.
While on the sharp lookout for the Wayfarers, refugees from The Lost Seas Tribe came to Windbreak, saying some members of the clan had suddenly become ruthless and chased them out. In fear, The Hidden Depths Tribe was quick to disband as most members fled to Windbreak as well, not wanting to deal with The Lost Seas striking back at them with no mercy.
The city now must tread on a tight rope of being wary of The Lost Seas Tribe, despite there no longer being anymore signs of them on, or even near, their territory, and keeping their defenses up from the Wayfarers and find a way to dissolve the situation at hand.
