—

**The Court of Coral** is a small clan living in the Tsunami Flats. They call their home the Great Geyser.

## Overview

The Court of Coral is currently led by Queen Wynter and her husband Twiddlebug.

### Coral Court

The Coral Court, where the entire kingdom gets its name from, is home to the kingdom's rulers. It's also home to the representatives of other clans, and flight representatives as well.

### Moon Court

The Moon Court functions as advisors to the entire clan. They are seers, receiving prophecies from the Tidelord and delivering them to the rest of the clan, helping them to choose their future.

### Dawn Court

Members of the Dawn Court are warriors. They are knights chosen by the Coral Court and stand guard for the clan. The Dawn Court also send some of their members to other clans to train and accompany their representatives.

### Wild Court

Dragons of the Wild Court are not like those of the rest of the clan. They are seen as being quite eccentric to the rest of their clanmates, and any dragon who comes into contact with them will agree with this statement. The Wild Court is in charge of keeping the peace throughout the clan, but they do hide a secret: they are actually mercenaries and spies who keep their eyes on the rest of the clan to make sure they are obeying the laws of the Coral Court.

## History

Queen Wynter was originally from the Moonlit Waves, as the daughter of Akiko. Wynter never felt completely comfortable in the clan, preferring to travel and explore. When she felt lonely, she would leave her den and travel as far from the territory as she dared to. On one of these nights, Wynter traveled as far out as the Tsunami Flats, where she met Twiddlebug. The Mirror charmed her almost immediately, despite not taking him seriously at first. The two became close lovers, although Wynter knew the clan would never accept him.

So they left and formed their own clan: the Court of Coral. Akiko was saddened by her daughter's abandonment, but saw the love she held for Twiddlebug and let her go. Empress Morrigan, at the time, was not amused by the young dragon's abandonment, and sent Aislinn, Arcano and Tara out to find and kill the traitor. As the future empress, Aislinn was determined to follow her empress's orders, but was unable to after seeing the love the two dragons held. To keep the two lovers safe, Aislinn ordered the members of her party to fight each other so they would return home battered and bloodied, as if they were in a struggle. Aislinn told Wynter to live her life with the dragon she loved, not to let anyone stop them. When Wynter asked why Aislinn would do such a thing for them, the Pearlcatcher replied with "I cannot let you die for doing nothing wrong. You love him, and he loves you. I know the power of love, and if it were Arcano and I, I know I would have done the same."

In Aislinn's debt, Wynter swore that should the Pearlcatcher need any assistance when she became High Queen, the Moonlit Waves would have an ally in their time of need.

### Current relations

Although still touchy, the Court of Coral has a good relationship with the Waves. Twiddlebug still holds a little animosity towards Aislinn and Arcano for trying to kill them, but understands that his mate sees a good, kind leader in the Pearlcatcher. As the oldest ally of the Waves, the Court will do whatever it takes to protect their ally and vice versa.
