Morning Wildstar fans!Today we start the Races Of Wildstar daily chat, everyday we start a topic talking about things we love and or dislike about the specified part of a Wild Star Race's culture  in the topic above. Races can star in more than one thread however every thread should be about a different part of the races culture and not over lap with a previous one. So it's not a one and done deal. Just try not to do multiple days in a row or every other day if the same race! Also NPC races can star in this thread too!!The Races Of Wildstar OP rules. The OP must specify what part of a races culture you are talking about (example today's was about Draken Huntresses ascending to become Clan Lord.) Try not to repeat topics, as unlike the MC thread these will not be locked daily, and if you make the same topic twice it will be merged into the old one  per the Mods. The thread Must have at least 1 picture of said race. (preferably screen shot or official Carbine art, though Fan art is acceptable as long as it's followed up with a Screen shot too.), and topic of post must be about the race mentioned in the headline.
 
Think of this thread as an Interactive National Geographic Explorer Magazine but about the races of Wild Star!Also - threads can never have the same title (see Chillia's post a few down.)Draken Female Hutresses becoming Clan Lords:I really like the concept of Draken society it's very similar to some predatory large cat's where the females of the society are the main defenders, and hunters. However there are exceptions to this rule such as Razen the Preyfinder, where the female Draken can cast aside the shackles of society hierarchy and ascend to Clan lord. I'd personally liek to see if there are more instances of this in Draken lore. What about you, do any of you Female Draken players have stories about your Draken breaking the hierarchy and taking charge?
 
I do this in part with my Draken Jacosta, while she isn't a Clan Lord of a full Draken clan, she does consider herself the Clan Lord of her special Ops group called the Skullkickers and cares and looks after it's members as if they were a full Draken clan.
 
I'm really curious to see what other players are doing with this wonderful lore that Carbine has crafted for us, and these rare exceptions of Female Draken ascending to Clan Lord.Razen the PreyfinderWho pretty much decided to say forget the traditions, I'm taking the lead. She is the Clan Lord in charge of Bonerazer Village in Celestion.There's also my Draken warrior Jacosta The Skull Taker. Who has also decided to throw the Traditions of male Clan Lords aside.(This is a Throne room I made on my plot. :) )I think Draken are the ultimate Noble Savages, bringing honor, and savagery to new levels in Sci-Fi Fantasy!Share why you love or hate Draken below!!

			Normally, I would be all for being a Draken. They SLITHER while underwater which is all sorts of amazing compared to the doggy paddle or the "our legs are like mini boat motors!". However, I favour the Esper and the Engineer and Draken can be neither.Can't say I've met any Draken NPC that caught my attention except Commander...that guy...the one that basically leads the Dominion's armies.

Please keep in mind that duplicate threads (ie: a daily draken thread created each day for a week, or multiple times a week, or even every two weeks) would violate our code of conduct and we would lock the duplicate and re-direct to the main thread. Due to this, I've adjusted your title.

Nope, the Draken bring nothing tot he table except being fodder for a war machine. Heck they're so far down the evolutionary scale that they can't even stand up straight.....and they run funny too.
 
 
CHUA on the other hand have brains and don't even need to invade a planet. They can just destroy it....plus they have a secret weapon...they're cute.

I say Meya  should be Clan lord whatever,  *puts on cardboard horns over her aurin ears and wraps her tail with paper and colors it red*  Imma draken!  rawr > :D

Draken clanlords challenge for position. Now I'm pretty sure there are a lot of steps preventing any random person from walking up and challenging, but if the Emperor could do it, then it would not be an impossibility for anyone else....just not simple.

Somehow I think that your thread isn't going to be able to stay as focused as you might want it to.
 
That said, ON topic; I think the Draken are/can be a lot more civilized than people give them credit for, when they want to be. Unfortunately the "noble savage" gets better press coverage. :P

I think the noble savage is who they are and the more civilized ones are the exceptions to the rule.
 
Most Draken still worship their old ways, but much like Female Clan Lords, there are rare cases where Draken take on a more civilized role in society,
 
 
Sadly Oath and honor would mean I'd have to...

I'll be nice and not hug,  I honestly think it's our brains as humans make us think that if it doesn't have technology all around them they are not civilized,  I think our concept of what Civilized is,  is wrong.  A primitive society can be very civilized and more so then a highly technologically advanced one.   We also link being smart to looks,  if something looks brutish we consider that creature dumb.  Would love to see a brutish Granok or Draken act proper and drink tea for once :P

Draken are very honor bound,and in that regards they keep true to their words so they are civilized like that, but they will take your skull and not think twice about it, if you are deemed prey.

I can say Draken culture can be a bit similar to the Night elves from WoW. Their females are mainly warriors, defenders and hunters to provide food for their homes. Their male counterparts are usually higher hierarchy, but unlike the female draken. The female night elves can be part of of the higher ranks as well,but I haven't seen many. For Draken it seems that the female has to prove her strength to either beat a clanlord to be one or create one herself and have followers.  Of course a female draken can be a higher rank within the Dominion faction so they can feel like a clanlord, but coming home to their roots is dependable.
 
It's all about strength and honor with that race. So I guess draken are a mix of orcs and night elves in my perspective.

So, what you're saying is I've been playing a lizardy elf-orc hybrid all along?
 
...
 
*cries and rage-deletes all Draken from the account, before breaking down mentally and going into a corner, rocking the body back and forth*
 
Not an elf, not an orc, not an elf, not an orc, not an elf, not an orc, not an elf, not an orc, not an elf, not an orc, not an elf, not an orc, not an elf, not an orc, not an elf, not an orc...

Just society wise!

*rushes to Thayd, pounces Myala and keeps crying while hugging and squeezing her to near suffocation*
 
They told me I was raised in a society of elf-orc! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!

*gets a lecture from Myala about the power of friendship, of hugs, of super awesome things that make one feel better*
 
I  feel better now! Life is wonderful! I'm a happy not-an-elf-orc-hybrid Draken!
Woooooooh! *does a happy double offhand backhand on the guards at the entrance of the Aurin house and goes back to be a happy killing machine*

Hm, so first of all, not gonna touch the Night Elves with a 10-foot pointy ear.
 
Second of all, I've noticed since playing on the Dominion side that there's of course a lot more depth to the races than I had previously given them credit for.  The Draken kinda remind me of Klingons, actually.  Have you SEEN the Duras sisters??  
Also, obligatory:
 
 
Oh yeah.
 
I like the idea of a woman in charge.
If we're pondering Draken dreams, though, I'd love to see skins like Laveka has.  And her staff. And her gear.  And her necromancer / (dark) shaman class.
Saving my 6th slot on Evindra for an awesome dark spellcaster class.

I love the Draken because horns are hot. *Swoons* 
Uh what don't I like? um..well...uh...they don't like it when you call them 'handlebars' >//>

			I really wish there was more out of game information on Razen, she's very interesting and it's sad that a character that can break the mold and become a Clan Lord is nothing more than a low level NPC quest chain. I really think Carbine needs to make it so she survived, and rebuilds her clan, or make another Female Clan Lord with more lore behind her!

Sad she died, but she was a threat to the Exiles mainly, but also to Dominion since she does not take orders very well. The problem with Razen is that she disobeyed the original clan lord orders when he ordered stop chasing down Exile runaways. She thought that was weak on his end, also not realizing that it she could had fallen into a perfect ambush. She challenge the clan lord for his so called weakness and killed him. She then became clan lord and of course the weak follows her because she was one of the toughest among that group.
 
I'm pretty sure we will get plenty once enough lore / content is out. So far Myala, Kit, Artemis Zin and possibly the main foreshadowing antagonist of the game Laveka are the only females I know with high roles to the story.

There's that Mordesh and Mechari chick I'm convinced is the same character (or might as well be.) whose names always escape me haha

{| class="blockquote"
Avra Darkos, and Axis Pheydra.  
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
That's them!!! I'm telling you I am convinced that Avra is Axis in Disguise and she's creating all this strife because she's bored.

			They do sound similar.

I thought this was semi relevant to the topic.
 
This is a Draken clan Lord Throne room I'm working on, on my plot!
 
I need to make some Harem rug piles and you can't see it bt the other side of the walls behind me are plastered in animal heads. I wanted Jacosta's Throne room to be intimidating, because I want her to give off the I earned this, I am worthy and you will respect me vibe, just walking into her throne room.
