Cloudscrape Crags, Falgem Bastille (Emperor's Wake)

## Goals

* Defeating Shroud and her camp in the Forum.
* For Sanctus, she wishes to continue being praised as a deity.

## Beliefs

The beliefs of Sanctus' dragons are rather twisted and warped around to put her in the position of ultimate power. Being a dragon prophesized by deities to be a chosen one- despite another dragon winning that war for the position of power- she managed to entrance her champion and other followers with her beauty and power. This fed her ego and lead to her to become their deity.

These dragons worship her as a deity despite having little proof to the claim.

Outside of religion, the dragons in the kingdom believe in gaining power and surviving their home's harsh climates. They rarely ally with anyone in favor of solving all their issues through their own means and act self sustaining.

Many dragons are also given Latin based names, especially ones starting with Lux, though it isn't a requirement to be in the kingdom. Usually it's reserved for dragons in high positions.

## History

The formation of this kingdom started when Sanctus learned she could be one of the chosen ones to lead a clan in the Empire of Death. However, while there were supposed to be two chosen ones according to the prophecy, three potential dragons were found. The first was easily identified but Sanctus and her rival, Shroud, were left to fight it out- the seers claiming the deities would favor the rightful leader. Sanctus wanted power and began forming an army to take the Forum of the Obscured Crescent. She selected a spiral named Sekhmet as her champion to fight in her stead while Shroud, ironically, took the champion's sister as her champion. It was around this time where Sanctus began acting as a deity, manipulating her champion and the other dragons in the faction into believing he to be one. The two grew their armies and fought several smaller battles. At first, it seemed like she'd easily win the war but her enemies continued to cling on and the tide began turning back and forth on them. In the end, Sanctus fought one on one with Shroud... and lost to the banescale.

The pearlcatcher was forced to flee and headed to the Ice Flight where she took refuge in the harsh climate of the Cloudscrape Crags. The followers who survived and still believed her to be the rightful leader journeyed with her. They continued believing in her power and Sanctus made sure to keep the idea of her being a deity alive within the group. Her followers fought to better themselves as they built their own kingdom in hopes of one day wiping out the dragons who drove them away. The group remains reclusive and independent of other clans that may dwell in the area. In fact, they chose to remain near the highest peak despite the mortality rate in order to ensure only the toughest could survive and to keep unwanted visitors out.

It worked until a dragon named Tantris came along, seeking out Sanctus after hearing of her war with Shroud. Being a dragon who once was heir to a throne in his own kingdom, the guardian sought her out after leaving his home in the Empire of Death in hopes of forming an alliance. The members of the kingdom weren't welcoming, though Sanctus- having been watching from above in the clouds- came down to hear him out. Outside help wasn't something the proud dragon wanted but hearing he was once a member of the empire where the Veiled Sanctuary resided, Sanctus agreed. The terms were set: Tantris would gain information in order for the Frozen Heavens dragons to take out Shroud and her dragons- while working to build his army on the side, and in return Sanctus would aid him with her own dragons and resources when he went to reclaim his own throne. (See the Fodderlocke for more in depth lore)

When it was time to repay Tantris for his aid in gathering information, Sanctus stood firm that he would still be largely on his own. She offered him a small start to his army and sent him on his way to fight his petty war in Arcane. Truthfully, the kingdom didn't need any territory in the Arcane Flight but if they gained more through their alliance with the guardian then so be it. The dragons of the Frozen Heavens Kingdom just went on with their lives, training to takedown their real enemy. When word came that the Adamas Realm had been reclaimed by Tantris, they made sure to establish rules to maintain their alliance. Sanctus didn't care much about how the guardian ruled his realm nor what he did so long as he wasn't in the way. All that really mattered was having more territory and dragons she could use to her kingdom's advantage should it be needed. (see TvN/Nobility challenge for in depth lore)
