## Lore

### Brief Description

*Where the Starwood Strand meets the Reedcleft Ascent…Where the magics of the Windsinger and the Arcanist combine…a strange new subspecies has arisen out of the curious Fae and the flighty Spirals that make this place their home. For a long time, their Arcane natures have made them content to stay and study the phenomenon, but recently, the Wind in their bones has urged them out of their seclusion…*

### The Arcanist and the Windsinger

*For as long as most clans can remember, the Windsinger and the Arcanist have been neighbors. Some say that there is great friendship between the deities, and while they themselves have never been consulted, it is true that their magics play well with each other-at least, as well as Arcane magic can play with anything. They mingle where the Starwood Strand and the Reedcleft Ascent meet, and in that nebulous area, wonders appear.*

*One such wonder is the Wisp Mage-a dragon whose egg was laid under the influence of both Wind and Arcane magic. While one element will reign more strongly within them, there will always be a mix of both within them, leading to wild and wonderful possibilities.*

## Breed Requirements

### The Wild Subtype

*These dragons are Druids and Sorcerers. Their magic and personality are strong and unpredictable, and may even shift from one day to the next. They are most often seen conversing with animals, mutating the plants around them, or whipping up storms and riding the currents of air and magic to new destinations, and because of their reluctance to be pinned down, they show the greatest variability in genes.*

## Variants

### The Gilded Subtype

*These dragons are Enchanters and Alchemists. Their magic lacks the sheer power of their Wild brethren, but just as the subtle breezes of Sorienth raise massive storms, so too does their magic have the ability to effect great change. They are often found gently redirecting breezes to blow on wind chimes or using their magic to make complex patterns of clouds or even of just the magic itself.*

### The Fragmented Subtype

*The Fragmented mages are the Wizards and Warlocks of the Wisp Mages. Their magic is much more powerful than either the Wild or the Gilded mages-so powerful, in fact, that their hides are beginning to crack with the strain. Their magic is best suited to affecting wide swaths of the environment or calling down storms that rage for days, but they can be just as gentle as any other Mage.*
