Wings of Remnant

**Wings of Remnant** is a crossover between the book series *Wings of Fire* and the American anime *RWBY*.

**WARNING**: The following page contains content that might spoil the story line of RWBY. You have been warned!

WoR is set on Pyrrhia, the world (and primary continent) of *Wings of Fire*. Dragons remain the dominant species, and fighting what is essentially a stalemate against the monsters known as Grimm.

Pyrrhia is the primary continent, with Pantala acting as a secondary, much smaller continent.

All ten dragon tribes are present, but the three Pantalan tribes are treated similar to *RWBY'*s Faunus: Looked down upon, ostracized. Due to their closer resemblance to Pyrrhia tribes, some LeafWings can pose as one of them in an attempt to live a normal life. The Hive and SilkWings have no such oppertunity.

Hybrids between Pyrrhian tribes are extremely common, enough so that there are a mere handful of families left that can trace their lineage back through history without encountering any different tribes.

### Removed Powers

All removed powers are part of legends, way back in the hazy past; Dragons whose scales were fire, dragons that could see the hundreds of years into the future, dragons that could spit highly acidic venom that corroded all it came in contact with. Mere legends, of course. Fairy tales for dragonets, nothing more.

* Moonborn powers (Futuresight, Mindreading)
* Firescales
* Blood-red eggs
* Animus powers
	+ Animus powers essentially *did* exist, way back before earth was wiped by the Brother of Darkness. As a power that was passed on genetically, it died out with the temporary disappearance of the draconic race
* Breath weapons (Fire breath, Ice breath, RainWing venom)

### Silver-Eyed Warrior

Silver eyes are a trait restricted to those of NightWing descent. Those with silver eyes can utilize them to petrify, blind, or vaporize Grimm. They may also temporarily halt powers of certain Grimm, such as the Apathy.

The power of untrained Silver-Eyed Warriors are typically activated upon encountering intense distress, for example when something they care strongly about is in great danger. Those trained in their use can activate the power at-will. Regardless of how trained a Silver-Eyed Warrior is their power can only be activated in the presence of Grimm.

## Kingdoms

There are four kingdoms, Atlas, Mistral, Vacuo, and Vale on the Pyrrhia continent. These four kingdoms house dragons from all tribes, including Pantalan ones. A technical fifth, Menagerie, is situated on the Pantalan continent. Menagerie is home to the vast majority of the Pantalan tribes as it's one of few places they have almost guaranteed safety, though a fair amount live on Pyrrhia as well.

### Atlas

Atlas is in the far north-west, on the "head" of the Pyrrhian continent (previously the Ice Kingdom).

Mistral maintains a combat school known as Sanctum Academy that is on the west side of the Claws of Clouds Mountains.

### Menagerie

Menagerie is on the smaller continent of Pantala.

#### Cities

Given how uninhabitable Pantala is there is only one city there, Kuo Kuana.

Kuo Kuana
Kuo Kuana is the capital and only city of Menagerie. Home to almost exclusively Pantalan tribes, Kuo Kuana is one of few places in the world where they can feel safe.
The majority of residents are there because they're tired of conflict with the Pyrrhian tribes. As such, most are uninterested in being a part of anything that might bring chaos to their city.
## Changes

### Changes from canon Wings of Fire

* Scavengers don't exist or are more animal like. If they exist they have Auras like all animals, but don't have control over them or their Semblances.
* Pantala is a much, much smaller continent and is home to a single kingdom, Menagerie.

### Changes from canon RWBY

* As the characters are dragons, most weapons augment talon-based combat instead of being things like swords or axes. For aerial combat guns and/or bows might be used but talon-based combat is still favored.

## Terminology

### Aura

An **aura** is the manifestation of a one's soul. The specific powers an aura provides differs be person, but two traits remain in common across everyone: Everyone with the ability to use their aura can heal themselves and absorb damage from hits.

It does have a limit though, so you can't perpetually absorb damage. Each person's aura is a different color.
