## Lore

### ***Utah Raptors***

*Utah raptors have developed a pack hierarchy very similar to that of real life wolves. These packs are separate from clans, with their hierarchy starting with alphas and ending with omegas. The pack system is extremely important to utah raptors and it is extraordinary rare to find a lone utah. raptor not in a pack or clan. Their life revolves around hunting prey and socializing around clan/pack mates. Moon-touched are somewhat of an anomaly and must go through a special secret process to gain their status. They start off like any normal utah but if they have the right qualities they may be choosen to become one who has "talked with the moon". Moon-touched are more magic-based and are less inclined to violence, their role often is to be an advisor or prophet for the clan.*

***Hierarchy Order :***

*Alpha : The dominant pair, holds most power*

*Beta: The second in command, will take the roll as leader if the alpha pair are gone.*

*Moon touched: Often deeply respected for their abilities can also become an alpha or beta*

*Delta: Average individual in the pack.*

*Omega: Lowest ranking in the pack, are often seen as outcasts. \*note albinos most often take this spot in their pack.*

***Areas of Residence:** Highland Scrub, Carrion Canyon, Greatwyrm's Breach, The Shattered Plain*

### ***Microraptors***

*Microraptors live as individuals and are very solitary if they are not living in a clan. Despite being solitary they are extremely mischievous and will often play tricks on other dragons. They are considered as black cats, and are seen to bring misfortune to those who anger them.*

***Areas of Residence:** Driftwood Drag, Wispwillow Grove, Foxfire Bramble, Starwood Strand, Forum of the Obscured Crescent, The Hewn City*

### ***Jungle Raptors***

*Jungle raptors are gardeners and caretakers of the flora and fauna around them. They have a close connection to the nature around them and have a fabled ability to talk to it. Like utahs they reside in groups outside of clans but have no group hierarchy. They are also noteworthy hosts and enjoy nothing more than making other dragons happy.*

***Areas of Residence:** Everbloom Gardens, The Gladeveins, Shrieking Wilds, Starwood Strand, The Behemoth, Driftwood Drag*

### ***Archeopteryx***

*Archeopteryx live in close knit families. They are rarely seen away from their families or clans. They have no general role as they prefer to help those close to them. They are generally accepting of other dragons as long as they don’t harm the ones they care about.*

***Areas of Residence:** The Behemoth, Shrieking Wilds, The Beacon of the Radiant Eye, Mirrorlight Promenade, Reedcleft Ascent*
