Arctic Fox Clan

The Arctic Fox Clan is the smallest CaveWing clan, and the newest. The majority of the dragons in this clan are CavernWings, who are known to be incredibly weather resistant.

Their underground city is located only a day’s journey away from the IceWing palace, so these dragons rarely leave the caves. When they do, it can be dangerous, as the Arctic Fox Clan is often the target of IceWing attacks. After the Truce, they've been seen more, and are currently rebuilding their relationships with the other clans.

Despite being one of the more isolated clans, they are still the most hospitable. The Arctic Fox Clan puts a lot of value on family, and think that teamwork and helping one another is the best way to survive. It’s not rare to see young dragonets being raised by their siblings or cousins, and adoption is also very common.

Unlike the other clans, Arctic Fox has had to rebuild their city, retreating farther into their cave system for safety. They live in small wooden cabins, usually with three or four rooms per building. If a family runs out of space, it's not uncommon for them to just add more rooms onto their cabin.

They're the most disorganized clan, but they aren't affected by that. The clan leader isn't treated very differently, they're just the dragon to complain to. The way the clan runs has been described as more of a large family than a small tribe.

As the Arctic Fox Clan had been separated from the other clans for a long time, they don’t really have any connections to them. They're grateful to Snake Clan for helping them rebuild, and will always have a closer bond with Wyvern than the others, but they don't really interact with Scorpion Clan very much.

They burn the bodies of the dead, both so that they can be reincarnated, and because it's difficult to bury them in the frozen Ice Kingdom.

Their current leader is Gray, one of the only leaders to take over without a tournament first. They are the most lenient with the rules, if they feel someone was Marked or OutCast unfairly, the leader will probably reverse that action, sometimes resulting in leaders who had been OutCast or Marked. The other clans find this strange, but none of them have tried to tell Arctic Fox to stop.

## History

Started by Herald's daughter, Refraction, the Arctic Fox Clan is the newest of the CaveWing clans. Refraction was a rebellious dragonet in the Wyvern Clan, and only escaped being Marked or Outcast because of her father's love. She ran away to the Ice Kingdom when she was seven, along with a few of her friends, and they started their own clan there.

Refraction became the first clan leader, and she put in place some of the Arctic Fox Clan's most important rules.

Soon after they settled there, the IceWing Gift of Defense was created, trapping the CaveWings in the Ice Kingdom. They were isolated from the other clans for a long time, and locked in a one-sided conflict with the IceWings.

Polar gained her leadership by having her brother Rock fight for her in the tournament, something that had never been done before or after. She is considered the worst leader the Arctic Fox Clan has seen, and a tyrant. She ruled for years, keeping her clan restricted to the caves. She was murdered by Rock, which left the clan without a leader for two years.

Swiftlet won the next tournament, which had been rigged by Rock and Pirate in her favour. She spent most of her time fixing the damage Polar did, and rebuilding the clan's relationship with the other clans.

Gray took over after Swiftlet's death, becoming one of the only dragons to take leadership without a tournament first. She formed a peace treaty with the IceWing queen, stopping the attacks and raids on her clan for good.
