Riverside

A small group of dragons which gets its namesake from its location on the banks of the river between Nature and Shadow; this is a haven for those who seek to change themselves. Each has a tale ending in their exile from their home clan. The leader of the Riverside, the Keeper, works to assist these outcasts in their journeys to find themselves once more. Thus forms the strongest bonds of companionship with those met walking this new path. But could such a system result in ruin by the hand of those who can never forgive?
The Riverside takes its lore in Acts, allowing active dragons to cycle. Currently, it is in Act 1: Misfits.
== Description ==
A small clearing in the woods nestles itself beside a rushing river -- if you were to call it that. Really, it seems far to wide to just be a simple river, but the judgements of generations long past named it so. For most dragons, this river is like the rest. A bunch of flowing water. However, to those that reside in the Riverside, this river is enchanted with the magic of a minor deity. The chosen who touch the river see the dreams and wishes of their ancestors, which guide them on the path to becoming better dragons in the present. A rediscovery of the traditions of old, if you will.
The clan itself is a rather standard one. Housing units of many kinds (brick, tents, a hole, etc) take their places in a semicircle around the edge of the clearing, with some space between the homes and the trees. There is a space for every dragon, customized and adjusted to their personal preferences, with some space for new tenants.
In the center of the clearing lies a great tree, thick in its trunk and bushy in its leaves. It is within this tree that the clan leader and their family reside, as well as hold clan meetings. Most visitors are redirected to the tree.
== History ==
The Riverside is not a new clan. Rather, it has history leading back at least seven generations, but only now has its history been written.
=== Clan Creation ===
Ages ago, a mirror by the name of Nightstar resided in the Tangled Wood. Here, he lived as a humble dragon, running a simple one-man-show business. The money generated was enough for the likes of a drake like him. He was content with life. But life wouldn't be true if no road bump presented itself to those on the asphalt. It was just that this one was rather large.
For he had been accused of a high crime, the murder of a troupe of faes. None know the true culprit, but what is known is that Nightstar's previous presence in the area had marked him as a prime suspect. And a court that was seemingly bribed against him, perhaps as a cover-up, only sealed his fate. A lowly mirror with little to no influence in that area -- what could he do?
