Flooded Pyrrhia AU

Disclaimer: this is an au taking place 300 years after the canon. The only major change is that animus magic works again.
5 years ago the water began to rise. Thousands perished in the oncoming tide. Now the continent of Pyrrhia has settled into an uneasy new way of life. 
I am planning to make a fanfiction in this au that will explain the flooding and the character’s attempts to resolve it. It will be awhile tho, as I want to finish this page and flesh out the universe first. 
Im feeling ready to make a fanfic, I’ll try to update both pages regularly!! 
insert fanfic link here 
== Geography ==
With most of the world underwater all of the tribes have been reduced greatly in size, though SkyWings and Icewings have fared better thanks to their elevated kingdoms. And the Seawings have of course flourished. Queen Downpour lets most of the Seawings govern themselves, only stepping in when it is absolutely needed. The rest of the world has been divided into 5 territories, each home to specific tribes. Pantala has flooded as well but some dragons managed to escape to Pyrrhia, where they live now. 
=== Paradise Island: Population: 435 ===
Most of the RainWing population that has escaped resides on this small forest island. Although their numbers were decimated during the initial flooding, the remaining dragons have proven to be quite resourceful, making do with natures materials. The small remaining population of LeafWings, only around 75 resides he with them. The 5 or so members with leaf speak will grow fruits at amazing speeds, feeding the island and some of the continent. Hybrids between these 2 tribes have become relatively common as well, thought most being very, very young. The queen of the LeafWings was unable to survive the flooding, so both tribes are ruled by Queen Tropical of the RainWings. Tropical has proven herself to be a fair and just leader, causing the small island to be considered one of the safest places in the mainland.
=== The Iceberg: population: 22,450 ===
Arguably the kingdom that was affected least by the flooding, the IceWings have taken up residence in the northern mountains of their territory. Stone dwellings are chiseled into the mountainside, and adorned with only the most wondrous of frostbreath creations. Confined to these frigid peaks, the terrain is inhospitable to most wildlife, and land meat is considered a rare delicacy. Because of this, they dine mostly on seafood caught from the newly expanded waters, but stay careful not to go too far south, as the SeaWing village of Frigid Waters rests not far from their mountainous home. The Queen’s palace, magnificent and lustrous as ever, is home to Queen Northstar and her family. A vain, selfish soul, Northstar has cut her rigid-and frigid society off from the rest of Pyrrhia, and is mostly concerned with assuring her own kingdom’s safety. Despite her less than desirable attitude, most of the IceWings are indifferent, leaning on positive about her. After all, she makes sure no one goes hungry, and that all dragonets get an education. There’s no better place to live than the Iceberg-right? 
=== Smallrock Island: population 457 ===
This island, located in between the former ice and sand kingdoms is mainly home to northbound SandWings, and rouge Icewings. Seawings will often come here as well with materials scavenged from the ruins of fallen cities. These items are then catalogued and sent out across the territories. They are ruled by a former sandwing merchant and noble, Lady Sunstone. Lady Sunstone is skilled at running the small operation of workers, who are fiercely loyal to her, and she welcomes seawings who proclaim their intentions to help.
=== Jade Archipelago: population 796 ===
This collection of islands centered around Jade mountain, is home to silkwings, SandWings, and about a third of the MudWings. The archipelago is know for having the most diverse population containing dragons from almost every tribe. Ruled by the island council, made up of a representative from each smaller island, they have proven to be mildly incompetent at ruling, as most of them are new to positions of power, and they are always arguing so nothing ever gets done. Nonetheless it is still a relatively safe environment, and several Seawings dwell here as well, doing their best to help the community’s residents.
=== Pyrrhia mainland: 1,341 ===
The Pyrrhia mainland is made up of the former claws of the clouds mountains, and home to skywings, MudWings, HiveWings, and the few remaining NightWings. The skywing queen, Bloodstone is a tyrant ruler who commands absolute loyalty over her subjects. When the MudWings and NightWings came to seek her aid from the flooding, she let them stay but they had second class rights to the skywings. Any skywing hybrids found during and after this time were ordered dead by the queen. However when the few HiveWings came, about 25 she recognized their value and gave them the privilege of being her private guard. Those who refused were killed or chased out of the kingdom. However unlike Northstar she will still provide aid to the other kingdoms, but only if the situation absolutely requires it.
== Seawing Culture ==
With the world as their oyster, (sorry I had to do it) Seawings have little to no need for conflict between themselves. An abundance of food, and peace across the kingdom make the oceans of Pyrrhia a peaceful place to live. Extravagant festivals are frequently held, and most seawings live comfortably, making a living off items scavenged from the ruins of fallen cities. Although the flooding has only lasted for a few years, they are already making homes amongst the other tribe’s former territories, adapting them into new assets of their kingdom. Some seawings however, have gotten a bit cocky, and have begun to steal from the land-dwelling tribes, taking on the role of pirates. Others however, had expressed sympathy for the rest of the tribes. They began to scavenge for items of value among the sunken settlements, and distributed them among the tribes, via Smallrock Island. 
 
=== Major Seawing Settlements ===
This section describes the various villages and and cities of the sea kingdom, and provides a summary of each one. Smaller villages and towns are not listed here.
==== Coral City ====
A thriving metropolis built in what once was the rainforest, Coral City is a hub of trading, importing, and crafting new goods. You can’t throw a stone without hitting a market stall, whether it’s selling innovative new cuisine, handcrafted jewelry, or fresh items scavenged from the ruins of sunken civilizations. Dragonets roam the streets, darting from reef to reef in pursuit of fun and adventure, watched over by passerby and other dragons. In Coral City, nothing is more important than family, and, well everyone is family. From lifelong friends to complete strangers, everybody is always looking out for each other. Wip

==== Glass Village ====
Located in the midst of the great sand flats, the village is built around a small active volcano. The pristine sands of the surrounding sea are gathered and blown into glass at the fires of this volcano, a place the locals know as the Shaper’s Forge, or more simply, just the Forge. Here, the most skilled of seawings shape the glass into extraordinary sculptures, from mundane items, to pieces prized across Pyrrhia. Less skilled dragons will often work the forge, and being one to work the glass itself is considered the village’s highest honor. These aristocratic dragons are known as Shapers, and train for years under their mentors. Simply having a Shaper in the family is enough to elevate that house’s status among the commoners. Typical homes here are made of sand and clay, with many windows, which once again lends to the village’s natural affinity towards glass. Besides the jobs at the Forge, most seawings work mundane trades, such as farming, resource gathering, or defend the village. Many others also accompany the undersea caravans that deliver the sculptures to Coral City, or sometimes the Deep Palace itself. Because of the sheer quality of its exports, and high demand from several nobles, Glass Village is one of the wealthier seawing settlements.

== Important Dragons in this AU ==
=== Queen Tropical ===
Queen of the rainwings and leafwings, this kind-hearted dragoness dwells on paradise island. Although her tribe was decimated in the initial flooding, she proved to be quite resourceful. Guiding her tribe to adapt to the small piece of northern land, their efforts were eventually rewarded when approached by the few remaining leafwings, who were asking for sanctuary. The pantalan tribe’s natural gardening ability, and leafspeak nourished the land into a small piece of safe paradise-hence the name. She freely gives out the excess food to the rest of the territories, asking for nothing in return. Although initially cautious of the seawings, she is beginning to realize that not all of them would rather see the rest of the tribes eradicated. 
=== Queen Northstar ===
The selfish and greedy queen of the Icewings, Northstar cares little for her tribe, and spends most of her time inside the palace. She often will adorn herself with extravagant jewelry, worth enough money to feed her entire kingdom for days. She loves gifts given in her honor, and is more likely to listen to visitors if they bring some sort of tribute. This however has a downside as she is so greedy, she will not bother to check whether the gems are actually authentic, and likely will never find out. As a leader, she prefers her tribe to stay out of world affairs. Her tribe is indifferent on her rule for the most part, recognizing that she has kept them safe from other dragons. Oh, and she’s not nearly as bad as Bloodstone. 
=== Lady Sunstone ===
The Merchant-Queen of Smallrock is a benevolent soul, who heads up the recovery operations for lost materials. She was a former merchant from the Kingdom of Sand, but now uses her skills for the good of Pyrrhia. wip 
=== Queen Bloodstone ===
Basically a worse version of scarlet. Yes that’s possible. The tyrannical queen Bloodstone of the skywings rules the mainland of Pyrrhia with an iron fist. She will often stage attacks in an excuse to get more prisoners for her arena, and randomly kidnap dragons from other tribes. Despite this she is willing to trade with other tribes unlike Northstar. Big wip, she will probably get her own page at some point where I can give further detail on my murder machine. 
=== Queen Downpour ===
Wip 
=== Shadowspeaker ===
Shadowspeaker has deep black scales, mottled with speckles of white, giving them a starry effect. Also he’s a seer.
