Strife and Ruin

=Strife And Ruin=
: “I sense you have a heavy burdon upon your wings..."
A continuity focusing upon the aftermath of war, corruption, political neglect, rebellions and revolutions, and how indivituals were wronged by the society that raised them. Taking place 30 years after the War For SandWing Succession and a deep dive into comments and details that add worldbuilding into Pyrrhia and Pantalan. Nano focused into once city, it's officials, and it's citizens while the world collapses around them in this - baselessly - hopeful City rife with crime.
=notes=
*a lot of canon slander going to make is actually canon.
*30 years after the woss
*I need to rewrite bits of arc 2 and 3 but I'll lay down whats still here
**arc 1
**snowfall destroyed the wall and caused a lot of stir
**JMA happens and so does the talons of power + Onyx
**a lot of the queens are still awful and the effects are still felt 30 years later since it's literally nothing to dragons
**NO DARKSTALKER!!! WERE NOT FOCUSING ON MAGIC, JUST THE STUFF ABOUT SCARLET VULTURE AND ONYX
***magic also didn't vanish because of this
*Blaze plays a role in this! shes the main source of funding since she still has a fair amount of inheritance between her family and being married to Glacier (yes I'm going there)
*Since possibly and it's limits are considered neutral territory, every territory will send a representative to it to represent the population in the city since they may require specific things. but they also work to better the city as their the main council and choice maker
**but that doesn't mean it isn't corrupted, since the enclave has been there since the very beginning it has gained its tendrils into the government as its justice and policing department.
*MY LAST NAMES ARE BUILT FOR THUS AU
*ALL ANIMALS ARE SCALED UP FOR DRAGONS, A HORSE CAN BE THE SIZE OF A DRAGON THIS IS IMPORTANT
*I'm making maps for possibility, Pyrrhia, and Pantala rn so YIPPEEEEEE
*The inspo era of this au is Renaissance/Medieval, HOWEVER theyre on the verge of technological advancement as they have all the resources for firearms cameras and more they just need someone to make it
**Hell a lot of stuff like saxophones exists already in the au
----
*30 years after the war, how is everyone doing?
**It's an end of an era so a lot of focus is not trying to ignore the war since cleanup is done, there are still homeless and wounded dragons that need care but they were all left behind in a broad sense
*SKYWINGS
**Doing pretty good for themselves with Ruby's redistribution of wealth back into the Queendom to rebuild and modernize. Ruby gave the southern mountains as a neutral space both between jade mountain and soldiers who were stuck in them. They founded towns and communites in these lands
**But the culture hasn't shifted in all of these years
**While special ability dragons were allowed to live now, hybrids didn't receive the same prestige as they don't have the same protections as full blooded SkyWings have under the law. They're not considered Skywings thus they're treated like other trib es....yeah dragon racism
**A lot of this in the wording of the laws that seem innocuous at first thus able to go unnoticed
***Plus, Ruby has been busy with other projects to make mends following the war and start trade back up again. She is aware of the issues but have bigger fish the fry.
*SEAWINGS
**Following the unveiling of the new island palace, the lower classes were enraged violently.
*RAINWINGS/NIGHTWINGS
**They're doing pretty good
**Due to opening the rainfores a whole generation of RainWings were adopted out and brought up in other environments. Most of them went into show buissness as their scales, grace, and little bodies made them appealing for dance and musicals
*NEO NIGHTWINGS
**Stable now, but is going through political hell
*SANDWINGS
**The troubles haven't stopped
*ICEWINGS
**massive culture shift and it adds some melancholy for the elders but hope for the younger generation
*MUDWINGS
**Being one of the fronts of the war they're trying to get their economy and resource production back up
*SILKWINGS/LEAFWINGS
**Claimed the eastern shore of pantala and the island between the continents used as ports for trade. The leafwings use it as a way to reintroduce species of plants back on the mainland while silkwings use their economic knowledge from the hives to sell goods
*HIVEWINGS
**Extreme refurbishment, most of the hives have been abandoned or outright destroyed due to bad construction over the decades. The left them for the lead/silk and begin to downsize and change their ways with strict laws and an intense restoration. Many revolutionaries were finally freed after 50 years of being imprisoned
**Many opponents to wasp weren't comfortable with the new Dutchy and the vespula family still being in control so to either left for the leafsilk republic or straight up couldn't bare being on Pantala anymore so they went to Pyrrhia. So the HiveWing tribe is now over half the population missing from what it was
**An organization began to help re-home political prisoners or get them transport over the ocean, soon enough it became a shelter charity open for everyone on both continents
----
*Groups
**The Wild Hunt
***IceWing group built on returning the authority class based society to the entire tribe and strike more force and class division into the entire tribe. reinstating both the great ice wall and the ranks. many of them were nobles who left after both were destroyed. they're not morally righteous and will kill other IceWings who disagree with em
**The Bleeding Suns
***The rebellion group in possibility that are attempting to take down the current city state and the enclave. there are various reasons as to why this began and there's many cells, but they're all mutuals to one dragon and receive funding from politicians in the city who agree with their cause and can't do anything
**Forgotten Pearls
***guys who started the current civil war in the Sea Queendom. coral is awful and is a classist piece of dog water so there was a revolted against the gentry class and they're in a heated battle....but slowly winning...ironic for a lesser dragons that didn't have the genetic makeup of the queen and were deemed such outright by her
**Vultures Skull
***A group who wasn't aware of Vulture's plan before he was executed but were inspired by his words and action about Thorns obviously neglect and.... literally playing poor when dragons are DYING. So since their homes were blown up they're blowing up everything relating to the current monarchy and literally not paying taxes, trading, or giving them anything. they literally forced out the guards from the scorpion den and other cities because of this. the only thing thorn controls now is the northern desert and steppe

*these notes were from crevasse 
*where to begin with her, BEFS (best enemies forever) with Mother Hen! she is the skywing representative to Possibility to well represent the interests of the SkyWings living in the city since its the largest batch of dragons without a queendom on the continent
*she absolutely hates it here.
**Mother Hen practically runs the law and the lawlesss by having control over law readings, imprisonment, she has blackmail and connections to the underground crime scenes to get them to kneel before her. if they don't follow she will feed them to the dogs of the city (literally and metaphorically because shell have them killed OR BETTER YET turn them in with her blackmail!!!!! and since she can control the law the enclave can just discard cases or plant stuff!!)
*Crevasse knows all of this, and cannot stop her within the system...so she's schemeing from the outside. the best was to end hen is from the inside out.........thus destory the current city government citing a rotted core in the form of the enclave
