CeteWings (Helsingvania)

I REGRET NOTHING
*Stuff I wrote in the discord server
*Actually I could work a lore reason into why CeteWings are missing swaths of history. Because whenever a change of government occurred they destroyed any documentation or references and refused to speak about it killing the history orally. Much of the recorded history is from outsiders looking in
*Why must I subject my new fan tribe to 2000 years worth of going through republics, reestablishing a monarchy, tearing down the monarchy
*Ocean dwelling tribe because I wanna try my hand at it
*I have made several ideas from a shower
**orca, seal, and beluga whale inspiration
**they live in the bay between the wing and head of pyrrhia. It's waters are cold and covered in mud flats with it growing deeper in the center and some scattered icebergs
*they typically speak in pidgin dragon! their initial language is in whistles, clicks, and oother noises they can create. their vocals are not built for the growls of fully fluent dragon
*the language they speak is called Chaser Call in the tribe. But obviously the other tribes have little respect for it and typically don't use that name.
*the ocean symbolizes tradition with most monarchies that were in the tribe stayed in its vastness with large pods following at all times
*the land symbolizes change and the breaking of tradition and many young dragons set off to leave the ocean and learn what the earth has to teach them.
*they are in fact flightless
*what were supposed to be wings act as flippers for steering instead as their talons act as hands.

*i took ap European history and was forced to learn about a number of revolutions
*AND IM GONNA USE IT
*the tribe has an ebb and flow relationship with the ocean
*some revolutions demand going back to it, others demand to leave it
*girl stay with me here because we are gonna get into a lot of history and governments
*SCORCHING AND THE GREAT BEACHING
**ocean based dragons, unlike the SeaWings they weren't able to leave the ocean due to the lack of limbs to move. no gills and we're very whale like in nature, took em 3000 years to develop the limbs to at least move but walking comes sometime later
**uuuh for reference the back legs were fun like with malformed toes acting as barbs, the front talons were full talons with fins at the sides
**the great beaching happened like 30 years after Darkstalker (which happened at 3014) a pod willingly beach themselves after one of the elderly was too sick to move. this spread like wildfire across other pods and they showed up and also beached themselves. but this actually forced them to discover that they can actually move and survive on land. YIPPEE TRIBE FORMED!

*THE FOUNDING MONARCHY
**much like the modern tribes, this existed for around.....uhh 500 years? (2500 years left)
**initially this seemed reasonable because the pod that explored the land the most was the most experienced and lead others to explore. so they became the sorta leaders
**slowly the ruling pods stopped exploring the land and permanently settled in the ocean when others began to settle and their role of leader was thoroughly establishedm since dragons live long life spans there wasn't much in the change of power and that upseted the rest because we'll. why should we suddenly listen to this one pod whos doing nothing to help while we do all of the work? all of the charm and usefulness bled out from them
**and so that monarchy desolved pretty dang fast in a bloody up rising
**think the ides of march
*THE FIRST REPUBLIC
**okay this one lasted like...150 years. why did it fail? petty infighting. (2450 years left)
**since the pods were all boardly more connected than ever, it was hard to manage the independent pods that just simply listened. that's what Kickstarted the conflict, how do you connect a group of dragons that now both hand land territory, but also aimlessly roam the ocean?
***pod connection was their main issue for the duration of this Republic because they cleaned up the ties of monarchy and whoever had away with the monarchy was given a Senate placement
**this started as a civil discussion through a informal senate populated by pods
**and then the nepotism began.
**due to the nature of pods, more often than not there were siblings in differing pods, teaming up to reach the same goal and making the group of pods more corrupt 
**this reasonably enraged pro independent pods as they were trying to engage authority over the independents
**through family connections, a counter revolution against the pro independents stormed the mock senate and created a formal government
*THE SECOND REPUBLIC
*buckle in there's going to be more
